Alamak. all JFK pics gone.... reload......

 

All pics from JFK are made possible by Raj C, who planned the programme very well, including bad weather alternatives (which was activated).

 

After my first visit to a diner, we landed up at a hugh carpark. Caught some of the regulars - Jet Blue.....which became increasing boring.....Raj had a great time pointing out the "Blue' schedule to me on his Iphone.

 

 

 

Luckily they had different tails......circles, squares etc.....

 

Anything other than a Jet Blue was most welcomed. Two different types from Delta

 

 

Then it was time to head for the main event............the famous location for the banking shots...

 

This was what I really want to see!!!

 

Delta

 

Very Song!

 

Patriotic colours!

 

A special - even for Raj!

 

Never seen so many B757s in different liveries before!

Very Song!

 

Patriotic North American colours!

 

This is a special, even to Raj.

 

Avianca!

 

Nice parade of B757s in different liveries for me!

Awesome stuff

Can't stop drooling...

[Samuel Chy 0]

nice shots there, Kwek. can't believe that 400mm can make such close-up shots. or with teleconverter?

[Kwek 0]

Just when the action was hotting up, the departure runway swopped....

 

A mad dash to to other side..... GPS was our saviour....

We got to Bayswater just in time.

 

Sweet Etihad

 

2nd Jepun for the day

 

Classy AA

 

Regular Delta heavy

 

Special for me: ANA Star Alliance! 3 aircraft in the same frame.

 

The long range A346 by our northern neighbour

 

Red belly!

 

Another shot of Emirates

 

It's very cold (at least for me) at this spotting location. The sea breeze brought the temperatures down a degree or two.

 

The sky turned cloudy for the afternoon but nonetheless I still got my flying shot of the B757 with winglets in the end!
