LGA & JFK Saturday Morning 5/5 (MANY PICS)

[T-Bird76]

Well it was a gorgeous day today, in Poughkeepsie at least, and I'm feeling a tad JFK deprived so please share your shots!

JFK for the most part was on the 4s all day. So if you didn't go out early in the morning (which was cloudy) no one could get anything worth a dime today. JFK did use 13R for arrivals for about an hour today which is rather rare. I did notice finally in the late afternoon they switched to 22 and 13 finally.

I posted these in the "other" thread, but here are JFK shots from 5/5 (all shots):






This guy was a bit of a surprise:


And this was the "catch of the day":


Unfortunately, this was the view we got of Wunala Dreaming as she went in for a 13 landing:

Its great to see a Delta 767 for Habitat for Humanity as me and some of my high school classmates are building with them a home for the poor in Tennnessee

Very nice shots Phil, nice shot of EC-JCZ. :)

Every time the 13/22 configuration is in use and I'm standing at either the mounds or Cargo Plaza I always look up waiting to see the Qantas 747-400 flying over on the downwind to try and get a glimpse if she will be Wunala that day.

I would have done everything possible on earth to catch her. :lol:

Did a quick edit on Habitat, couldn't believe Mark when he said it was coming in. A nice treat.

Sorry I missed the gang on Saturday - I headed out mid-morning, checked ATIS, and it was 31L departures, 4R arrivals. Thought I would head to Howard Beach for some departures. Just as I got there, they switched to 13L arrivals :roll:

Took a quick run through the cargo plaza, but it looked sort of busy, a bunch of cars & trucks parked and people coming and going. About the same time, they added 22L arrivals to the mix, so I headed out to North Woodmere. Of course, most of the interesting stuff looked to be arriving on 13L, but got a few decent shots:



All white Deltaflot nose on this 767:














Backlit all to hell, but a couple of cargo departures off 13L:





I had plans for later in the afternoon, so I didn't get to spend too much time out. I think I had more luck with the waterfowl:

What a great day Saturday was! It looks like all of us had some pretty good stuff. Hat's off to Tommy, Phil and John for some fantastic shots.
