[INNflight]

I'll remember to bring the paddles, leather, handcuffs, and chains. Well the chains may not be required, but just incase.

i'm afraid....not sure i can come anymore... :mrgreen: will stick to the heliports

I still have only finally lost the scars from the deer flies at Bayswater.....from 3 years ago. Never been bitten at the mounds... oh well. :?:

[Iberia A340-600]

I'll be free Saturday. Gordon give me a call tomorrow.

I'll make sure to give you a call, Kenny. I believe we will be pulling into JFK around 1:00pm.

Numbers 1-845-380-0120 for anyone who needs to get in touch tomorrow.

FIY LT1551/1550 will be operated by an A330-200 rather then the normal A330-300 on weekends and will be in new colors. Thanks Tamon!

LTU is garbage, only their schemes are acceptable. Charter airline that has dreams of becoming Lufthansa's biggest nemesis, de facto those are Air Berlin's plans. Avoid them.

WOWO, this mornigns visibility is just INSANE.

I took the camer ato the office today. Took a few photos driving up Pinelawn road and pulled over into the cemetary. As I took some phtos looking west towards FRG, the radio stated 1/8 mi visibility in Farmingdale :shock: :shock:

Florian brought the fog! LOL, I am in Oceanside now and it's not good. I can barely see 100 yards in front of me.

Listening to JFK Tower right now RVR is 800 feet on 13R! YUCK!
The outlook though is still good....starting around noon, hopefully it will burn off as planned or this weekend will be a bust.

There's always the Cradle of Aviation if this fog doesnt lift.

The fog will burn off in three or so hours once the temperature is more than 5 degrees above the dewpoint. Then it will be hot as hell and nobody will want to be outside :) But I'll see some of y'all later...I'm planning to be around JFK at 3 or so.

LGA is on the ILS 13 approach again!! If I didn't have anything else to do this morning, I'd get on the subway and go watch the planes from Morningside Park in Manhattan...I'm not sure if they're close enough to spot from there, but it's really cool to see the planes fly over Manhattan at that altitude.

[Iberia A340-600]

Well I'm leaving, hopefully this fog will clear!

[INNflight]

hi guys,

well, an excellent day it was, really!!! I am back in the sh$%ty hotel in Manhattan and will soon stroll around town.

It was really good to meet so many of you guys, was a good bunch yesterday, 15 people maybe heh? Also thanks for the very good dinner guys, a pineapple I'll not forget so quickly.

I'll be at home on Tuesday afternoon again, and reviewed the shots on my laptop already, got quite some nice ones imo....will post one or three then!

cheers guys, take care!
