JFK - 1/18/2012

Phil.......many many moon's ago I use to bike all the way down Lefferts Blvd. and past the oil place on the left and all the way to where the tank sits by 13R. The place use to be a dumping ground. Every once in a while a oil barge would show up and pump its fuel out. I think the dumping ground it gated off now. I recall standing on some hills by the tank and having a so-so view of 13R. I wonder what the view looks like these days from there.

Mark, I really like those shots. Where at JFK were they taken?

Thanks

Manny, that KE 744 is the bombs!! I didnt think KE sends 744s at JFK no more... great catch master...

Nice night shots guys, those are evil and I definitely want to get some out there! After all I am a night owl!

Isaac....as you are aware, spotting is a challenge at various airports (JFK being one of them). Please view the official spotting guide posted on the website.

Thanks Sergio :-) KAL257/258 is a daily (nightly) 744 service! Used to be filled by Starcraft but we missed it each time. This time Mark and I were on a mission and we lamost missed it too... I could have had a chance to catch it before it docked behind the gate too had it not been for traffic on Rockaway Blvd!

Phil, thanks for the tip. Although I have yet to go past the Air Train station in Howard Beach so I will likely use Mark or Eric as my trusty guides Hopefully the spotlights are on both sides of the ramp!
