Steve,

This will eventually be a regular bird :-) No worries!

Good to know! Still, I like to catch things from time to time before they become "regular" birds. Like getting that Saudia A342 last weekend, it just gives you a whole different feeling when you press that shutter button.

Taxiing now, headed for 13R.

Yes this bird will be back and forth thru JFK for at least the next several days..

I just heard it depart on LiveATC.net :-) "Giant 9739 Clear for Takeoff" and then "Giant 9739 Contact Departure"

Thanks for the heads up on the Atlas DHG750R. Caught her landing around noon from Bayswater. I thought the light was going to be bad since the clouds were hanging around then just before she came in the light started to get better.

Nice catch Mark!

I know what you mean Steve, but the Saudia 342 is better than that.. its never going to be a regular bird around here.

[DHG750R]

great shot Mark! Glad I was able to help.

As a side note, an Atlas passenger 747 is currently parked at hangar 19 for a couple of days N464MC

Yeah, you are right about that. Thats never a regular bird anywhere. From what it sounds like, it very rarely ever flies.

An Atlas 767 will arrive JFK at 4pm today, depart 2 days later, it's not the same bird that was at JFK before, its the sister ship N640GT

Also, for our friends in South Florida, the other 767 is in PBI , departing at noon local today. If you miss her, it will be back later tonight to spend a couple of nights

[steve1840]

Any chance she will be back at JFK on Saturday?

[DHG750R]

Yes it will, look for 640 around 1pm, leaving a couple of hours later

Then the other one will be at EWR and then JFK very early ( pre dawn ) on Sunday night/monday morning
