    It was too hot for a hot cup of coffee yesterday. Instead I had a Venti Iced Americano Light on the Ice from Starbucks ;)

    So who wants to take a bet the next I see Kenny he's going to knock me out? ;) :lol:

    I definitely had a great time getting out there again. I almost forgot how to use my camera for aviation!

    Great meeting you Kenny and Brian, and it's always great to hang out with Mr. Turner.

    Till next time!

    Okay, here are some of my favorite shots from yesterday. The first one was the only real shot I got at Bayswater that is worth posting. The departures were so slow, I think I took more photos of the turtles than planes and my other shots did not come out. Overall, it was a good time spotting and hanging out. Later, Brian

    Re: JFK Shootout Sunday 7/13?

    I'm glad you guys got out...by the time the light was any good, I was sitting on the runway at HPN in an AirTran 717...

    I've been looking for off-airport locations for the 13s for awhile. There's a shopping center just north of the airport on the Belt Parkway...I was driving past it a couple of weeks ago as I saw a Cathay A340 landing on 13R...it was a great view, but it faces south, so it would probably be backlit for a good part of the day.

    Federal Circle - very bad idea...I got chased from there with a point-and-shoot once.

    The two areas I'm still wondering about:

    1) 152nd Ave and 126th St...just south of the runway...it might be too close to the centerline for side shots.
    2) The area near the Cross Bay Blvd exit on the Belt...there are viewpoint options over there, but I'm not sure about obstructions. It doesn't look to be much worse than Firestone in terms of distance from runway.

    Nice set Brian! :idea: Maybe, someone could lend out his office window for some 13L arrivals.

    There's a baseball field near the old Tower Air terminal, bring a lawn chair, set it up, and click away when a plane goes by. You get bothered but its far enough away from the road that you might not get noticed. Only problem is parking, you might have to park in long term, take the AirTrain to Federal Circle and walk but its not a long walk.

    That baseball field is the Federal Circle spot that everyone is talking about I think. The views ARE amazing. I just wonder if there's a way we could go there without being bothered.

    Hm...I found that field on Google Maps...why on earth would anyone need a baseball field on airport grounds?? :) Might be worth a try...if we sat just west of that group of trees between the diamond and the parking lot, nobody would see us unless they were looking for us...

    The spot at federal circle means we need two groups to spot - one to play baseball and one to pretend to take pictures of the game! LOL just kidding...

    Nice turtle shot Brian! I had no idea there were turtles around there, would have thought nothing could live in that Bay...

    Great shots to everyone. Eventually I will conquer my "lush" nature and put spotting first...
