    LGA Flushing Marina 2/14/10

    RJs and more RJs. Nothing too exciting. Was only there about 30 mins before they switched to 22. :(

    Man I wish they would send that 757 to JFK. They send the same a/c day in day out. Its annoying. Keep those fighters away :!:

    It's the same day in day out because there are a special configuration, Premium Service 757s. There's only about 13 or so of them. They're a 3-cabin configuration, 110 seats, (12-26-72).
    Worry is a sustained form of fear, caused by indecision.

    Oh. Still though. Its the same a/c. Its the same 8 a/c every day. They dont send in really any other a/c minus the catches every now and then.

    Two questions..... What settings were you using on those shots and second off, how big was that cat. That thing looks like a big kitty.

    I was in Av mode, set to f/7.1, and exposure set to -1 for most of them. Shutter speeds were around 1/1000-1/1250. Still getting the hang of my Sigma...not as forgiving as the Canon, and very soft over 300mm. :?

    The cat was normal size, I saw a couple of other wild cats roaming around there, too.

    Sorry, don't think they will be getting them that soon. The winglets were only on that one plane ("Betty Blue" N556JB) for a week of testing, and then it was returned to regular service without the winglets. I don't think they're FAA certified yet, and no idea if jetBlue has decided to install them on their fleet. Soonest we might see them is probably late this year.
