Hey cats and kittens;

Here is the one that almost got away!

I managed a quick snapshot from the steps of my departing flight.

JFK is the holy grail of spotting for this midwestern boy. There were airlines I have never heard of, let alone photographed. I only saw two NWA planes at the entire airport :D

Well, that is a nice chance shot! I wish you would have ran out and cleared all the junk out of the way before hand though. Lol. Good job!

Crazy plane. You should visit LAX sometime... :)

They are regulars into London Heathrow but never managed to be in the right spot at the right time :-(

Nice shot

well they will be gone from the the east coast, in 2 weeks.
EMIRATES said the a380 is not profitable. will go back to 3-7s

get your last looks before its gone.
JDANDO, did you fly el-al??

Hong Kong (HKG) and London (LHR) are fantastic spotting airports!

I grew up directly under the approach to JFK 22L/22R so I spotted out my window all night long as a kid and while sitting on the garage roof (my kids do it now).

I would love to! I might get the chance later this year, I have a project that may take me out there!

I know the feeling, that is what happens at my home airport MSP :(

Yes, I heard they were switching aircraft also. No el-al for me. Northwest/Delta from MSP, had to take a "bus" to get to the plane parked on the tarmac.

Not much interest in HKG for me. LHR would be a great trip, however.

I hope my flight did not buzz your house on the way out!

Stay tuned to "Transportation" I was in JFK this week and got some good shots and will be back out the first week of June :cool:

I was expecting one of that babies from British for my trip to Europe. instead I'm getting a 747.

[poppie guy]

Nice find, I'd love to see one of these but I don't think they land at pdx.

I was actually on board an EL AL 777 and spotted this huge monster parked on the tarmac while we were taxing out to the runway for departure. Wish I had a better view than my isle seat... :(

It's a pity you didn't get a shot of it in the air - but then, presumably, you would have missed your flight!
