Air Force One JFK-Bound on Tuesday March 29th

[Ari707]

Currently landing on the 4's,
winds are 320@8 so the 31's are a good possibilty

[Ari707]

Currently conducting an inspection on 31R so that seems like a good possibilty

[Ari707]

AF 1 just checked in for 31L

[RomNYC]

Yeah 31L... 200mm backlit yay... :-/

[fk6065]

Just landed on 31L.

[eric8669]

Yeah, 31L, should he listened more closely to the runway inspection just prior to landing. Oh well

[hiss srq]

Except in very extenuating circumstances AF1 will always land 31L departing 13R due to the nearness to the former TWA hanger. She resumed parking there as of this trip. P.S. for those of you out there spotting expect 4's the rest of the night w a few 31L departures.....

Information we could have used prior to landing. Next time. It has landed 31r consistantly the last few times.

[fk6065]

Any idea of a departure time.............oopps found it sometime between 9:45Pm and 11:00PM

[NIKV69]

Bring your radios. He sometimes goes to the left. On that configuration even more of a chance. Ryan is right most of the times I tracked it including when I got it she went to the left.

sorry, I will have to disagree with you there. over the last two years I have shot it 31R arrival and that's atleast 4 or 5 times. Before that it use to be on 31L.

I don't think the configuration has anything to do with it. I've seen them on the 22's, 4's even 13's and he still landed 31R. I think it has to do with the fastest taxi time to where they are setup. In this case they have moved back from the triple hangers to over by TWA.

I had my radio, I did not pay attention to the Runway check about 10 min prior to landing. There's always next time.

Tru I got her in 2008 when she used to go to the left. If I was chasin her I would park at the nursery just south of Panera and put on approach this way you still have plenty of time to zip over to Inwood park or get back into the Panera lot if she goes to the right.

Lol that lasted, what, an hour? They're back on the 31s now. I'm chilling at HoBe.

[fk6065]

Oh well started off at Inwood to try and finally catch the elusive Luftansa A380 in good light.

It didn't show, a 747 came in instead. Very disappointing.

Went over to Panera and Cosco, decided on Cosco and at the last minute caught AF-1 coming in on 31L not 31R which was where I had myself positioned.

Very dissapointing again.

But here are two shots of her coming in.





Again maybe next time, thanks to everyone for feeding the information updates on the arrival, it was a help. Also I believe an incoming aircraft right before AF-1 declared an emergency, I wonder if that was a factor in using 31L?

[NLovis]

Came in on 31L. Backlit shots ruin my chances of an improved AF1 in my records. Ill have them up later.
