JFK to PBI 4-15-13

Did a little spotting with my point and shoot at JFK T5. While on approach to PBI, we entered a race track pattern hold due to weather, and we got up close and personal to a Southwest 737!

JetBlue 141, I think N608JB. We went off 13R.

I dont think I cought it, i was at Bayswater

Were you able to catch *anything* from Bayswater today?

They were on the 4s all morning, so yea. Well, they were on the 4s right up until I got to my spot in T5 to watch, then they changed to 13/22.

They should have done the Fire Training yesterday while we were near the fake black "plane". Nice photos of New American and Lufthansa.

Yeah, I meant at the time of your flight. Had a day off today and initially went to LGA for some 4 landings, but they switched to 22 by the time I got there. Then headed to JFK wishfully thinking the 13/22 split would have changed somehow... of course it did not.

Cool flames on the motorcycle jump! :wink:

I spy the private 747 by the de-ice tent!

We actually taxied right by that, but I still want able to get a decent shot.

Nice, cant wait to take a b6 flight now that i have my new camera!

Jay, the SW shots are tops! Such a cool sight!

Nice shots Jason. Love the SWA "near miss". :tongue: Was he on approach to a parallel runway?
How much separation would you say there was?

Jason nice set...

Hong Kong Trader in day light on the 13s!?!?!? ARGHHH!!!!!!

As for my Southwest shot, here's the deal.
We were both in a racetrack holding pattern north of PBI due to storms over the field. We had very similar patterns, except their were slightly shorter than ours, so we would meet at the turn.
But on the last turn, they came SUPER close. Minimums dictate 1000 feet vertical separation, and we certainly didn't have that.

that Cathay on the Canarsie is way cool, back in '03 when I was flying 727s for le Champion, on a thundery day at Kennedy we were blessed with a holding pattern near the airport,our third that day(sigh), but our neighbor but 1000 feet below us and glistening in the sunlight was a BA Concorde forced to hold and screaming "low fuel !!!",so what does NY do? they clear us for the approach first,and the Concorde follows close behind us, it was the ILS for 31R ,we were rolling out and the tower was urging us to vacate the runway due to traffic on short final, short final? that SST was in the flare as we were turning off ,touching down,and rolling out,going around was not an option !!! i miss that jet!!!

I saw cathay on approach last night on plane finder... Hoping there was someone to catch it
