JFK 5/5-5/6

Thanks Gordon! We missed you when the Iberia 346 came over yesterday!!

Nice shots! I would have loved to get out there with you this morning, but I'm not really a morning person, and I had other plans today anyway. Maybe someday I'll manage to get out and catch the morning crowd.

Great shots Wunala! Way to catch the Emirates logo on the underbelly.

To add to that the gear doors opening! Nice shots!

Thanks! Phil, that morning Jamaica Bay breeze would have woken you up in a real hurry. I know it did the trick for us today. Lol

Yeah man it was cooold this morning, but worth it for some of the shots. I must say, Mark brought some incredible spotter's luck with him from Florida. Between Habitat, Alitalia New c/s, Wunala Dreaming (though Ken was the only one that caught it!) it was really a treat. It was awesome to meet all of you yesterday and definitely looking forward to some more spotting with y'all.

Also, did any of the guys shooting at the Mounds yesterday shoot a Republic (DL Connection painted) ERJ? I got two decent shots of N568RP and it has some kind of "800th" marking painted across the side of the fuselage, but it's a very light blue and would be easy to miss if not zoomed in. I know a lot of people think "eh it's just another RJ", but I'm curious if anyone else shot it. I'll post a pic when I have the chance (and energy) to do some editing. I guess that's why they say "shoot everything"...

Great spotting with you guys! BTW, Ken, great shots of the 4L departures! Looking forward to seeing the rest of yours and Mark's!

I just noticed that when I was processing my photos today:

I have a heck of a lot of editing to do!!! The shots this morning were great as well! A great thanks to everyone that came out this weekend to make it a special weekend!

Ok, I've finished up my shots from JFK from 5/5; all are here; here are some of the better ones:






This guy was a bit of a surprise:


And this was the "catch of the day":


Unfortunately, this was the view we got of Wunala Dreaming as she went in for a 13L landing:

Great shots Phil!

Here are a few of mine from both Saturday afternoon at the Mounds & Sunday morning at Bayswater

As you saw above from Phil, we missed Qantas's Wunala Dreaming 744 as she went to 13L instead of 22L, but looking forward to seeing Ken's shots!

And finally, my catch of the day: Delta's Habitat for Humanity 763!



Thanks again to everyone for a great weekend of spotting!

Great stuff Andy!

[kc2aqg]

Thanks Mario! For a non-DSLR camera, I was surprised at how nice some of those came out.

[MarkLawrence]

Great shots Andy!!! I have a whole lot in the queue for jp and a couple for a.net - I can't get them on my personal web site from the office - will do that later and post them here.

[wunaladreamin]

Andy, I have been chasing that South African FOREVER!! Can someone say JEALOUSY? Lol. Great shots bro, check your inbox.

Some of my pictures from the weekend...













Definately - the next two are my highlights of the weekend...




And, to borrow the style of photo from the person who gave it the name - the Ron-Peel-LGA shots - arrival on the Expressway Visual and departure off 13...
