I can't decide if that Thai A345 is gorgeous or hideous. Maybe the angle is playing tricks on my eyes, but it looks like it's sitting awkwardly high and the gray belly comes up too high.

I'm mulling over a day trip down on Saturday. It'd be a ton of driving, but given the horrible weather expected Sunday it's going to be the choice of the two for photography.
A few more new aircraft to keep an eye out for this year are Italy's new-to-them A340-500 (I-TALY) and the UK's A330 MRTT with a VIP interior (ZZ336) that will now carry the British delegation in place of a chartered BA aircraft.
Unfortunately, one that may not be making an appearance anymore is the Slovakian Tu-154, since they've recently acquired an A319CJ. The Mexico 787 is also new since last year, but that one almost always goes into Newark. [EDIT: And Thailand is only sending their Foreign Minister, so I'd be surprised if his delegation got to use the A345]
North Korea needs to attend the General Assembly to announce their intent to denuclearize themselves, and their delegation should arrive via Il-62M
LOVE that Thai A340, very nice cheatline there, very retro
Just saw the UAE 787-8 touch down on 13L in some beautiful morning sun. She's been to SWF in past years so I imagine it might ferry up there in a bit.
AUH 1 A6-PFC was Airborne and landed in London. Fuel Stop?
QAF 2 A7-HJJ is Airbone will watch to see if it stops for fuel.
BAH 1 A9C-HMK just took off, will monitor it.
I presume very few of these flights are available on the traditional trackers? If so, how do most of you guys find them?
QAF 1 A7-HHE? 748 Departed London 2 or so hours ago westbound.
Starting UN week off on a good note.

Great stuff Eric! Hopefully the spotting gods are smiling on everyone tomorrow!
Some great stuff so far, thanks for the shares! That said, I remember last year looking at all the pictures of stuff streaming in during the week and wondering if anything would be left for the weekend. And, in reality, not much was left for the weekend. Hopefully this year will be better.
