    SWF UN Week 2008 (Pics + Losing My Russian Virginity!)

    I decided to camp out at JFK on Sunday to see what I could get rather than spending the day at SWF. While Sunday was not as exciting as previous years it was still worth the trip. I took a drive down to SWF this afternoon to shoot what was there:

    Polish Air Force TU-154
    Spanish Air Force A310
    Royal Jet 737-700 (Benin)
    Royal Jet 737-800
    MEA A330-200
    Royal Brunei 767-200
    United Arab Emirates 737-800
    Equatorial Guinea 737-700
    PrivatAir 767-300 (Cameroon)
    Kuwait A310

    An excellent afternoon for photographing and I even got a great surprise!

    Thanks to Tamon and Senga for updated information!























    And losing my Russian virginity...

    Wow. Bow down to you, man.

    Amazing Tu-154 interior shots aside, I don't think anyone has ever gotten so many UN VIPs in one photo before.

    Hi,

    very nice pics, glad I could help you with infos!

    Were these pictures taken on an "official" ramp tour or was it arranged via connections at SWF airport ? I remember seeing similar VIP traffic shots taken at this airport from 2007 airside...

    greets

    I believe those were my pictures from last year as well. I have a connection at SWF.

    Gordon: excellent shots. Do you know if these planes stay in SWF till this coming Sunday (Sept 28th)?

    Never mind, according to TAROM's posting on the other thread, most of the planes parked at SWF will be gone by the weekend.

    MMm I wonder if all the flight crews stay at the same hotel? That could lead to some interesting conversations at Happy Hour. :lol:
    Great shots. Always enjoyed hanging out up there. Nice mix of commercial and miltary aircraft and helos also.
