MAXjet Flight Today

[PhilDernerJr]

This morning I looked on Fltyecomm and saw that no Maxjet flight was planned for today. However, Nick, Mel and I saw one (N260MY, the new one) depart 4L shortly after noon, and then it arrived back again a couple hours later on 31R.

does anyone know what this was about? Test flight of some sort?

[Jonesbeach]

I don't know what that was about, but today was the first time I've seen two Maxjets on the ground at the same time.

[PhilDernerJr]

Hey,

Was that you at Burger King in the car?

[mirrodie]

Yesterday while I was on the tarmac, I overheard that MaxJet had cleared a flight with the PA. They were yesterday, supposed to have have a 1 hour flight. Just a flight, beginning and ending at JFK.

As of when I left yesterday, Sunday, @1630, M250MY was towed from the gate to the apron near Terminal 1 and M260MY was parked near the cargo area, by the UPS planes.


So maybe Maxjet didnt get around to its hour flight til today and you caught it?

I heard they were doing Pilot training but not sure exactly if the flight you saw was one of those training missions.

Agreed. We got home yesterday and I fell right asleep....I woke up and he had edited a couple shots from the day. His MaxJet photo was one of those that just make you say "WOW"

I said it about 8 times. haha
:wink:

One of the MaxJets was over at the old Air France Cargo building (end of cargo area C) today. Not sure why it was there, but its the only thing I can add to this thread.

Not really but he knows all the goings on about them! lol

Saw Phil's shot too, great job Phil, now upload it so me and mike aren't the only ones from here with it on anet. Lord knows Tommy is too busy at LAX trying to only shoot 747s from the tower now and eating cheeseburgers at IN-N-OUT.

Fine I was going to make a nice print for you of the Pink Song but I'll give it to Nick now, he likes the color pink plus I need to show him how to take pictures from BK, hahahahaha Trees are bad Nick, LOL

I will give to Mel, I only accept prints from Sam Chui, much like one I saved from a fiery grave last September.


Trees are bad

yea so were the two farm animals that were smoking them, not to mention they made quick work of the whoppers they were eating.

[PhilDernerJr]

[PhilDernerJr]

That was the first thing I did when I got home, minutes after I edited it. It was the first shot I grabbed off of the card. Thanks, guys.

[Matt Molnar]

Both are mas fina. You should try to sell them the first one.

Phil, I was thinking the same thing, with the NYC skyline in the background it would make a nice marketing photo $$$.
