I'm still surprised that the TSA or PA don't harrass any of us at Planeview Park where the aircraft are about 300' above just before T/D on Rwy. 4. Have any spotters been harrassed there?

I agree the names of many waypoints are very clever. Off-hand, they had a fixe JOCKE near Belmont Racetrack, ELLIS used to be in NJ near the Statue of Liberty, WAVEY is of course in the Atlantic...

Thanks for sharing your misshaps. Spotting is so satisying for us that we sometimes get carried away and take chances. I once was surrounded by a motorcycle gang up on the hill just north of Rockaway...

After 30 years of spotting, I never suffered from pain as a result until recently. I was in severe pain 2 weeks ago. I stretched my neck up to see the US Airways Steelers aircraft fly right over my...

I agree. A very kind-hearted chap; a credit to England. BA has so many flights into NYC I guess there's no way to know if he came to EWR or to JFK. To add to the confusion, I don't believe that BA...

Does anybody have any idea if Prince Harry, who is visiting NYC today, arrived at JFK or LGA or even EWR? Does he fly on a commercial flight or on a private jet? I googled but got no information.

Thanks Phil. You are a genius. As a non-pilot, I had no idea there were coordinates in 2 formats (DMS and decimals). It appears that the air charts use the old DMS coordinates so to locate each...

I have tried plotting the various fixes and waypoints locally. Most match the latitude and longitude coordinates given by airnav as well as the FAA JFK Charts, but several are way-off base. An...

The site is still the best on the Internet. I wish this site existed back in the 70's when I thought I was the only weirdo in the world spending weekends spotting. Phil does a wonderful job and Matt...

Saw a strange airliner yesterday at JFK. I learned it was Fly Jamaica Airways. Anybody else see it yet? The fuselage is mainly white. The livery looks empty so I thought it was a VIP aircraft. Then I...

I made my semi-annual trip to JFK yesterday and it was not pleasant. The only terminal still friendly is T1. T7 still won't allow visitors up to the Departure Level. I never tried the old Delta...

I forgot the site which when you search for a specific flight, it actually displays current flight information including the tail registration #. I used this site after Kids Day at LGA last Sept. to...

I recall seeing the final Olympic flight at JFK get sprayed with water from trucks upon its final arrival. Is this normally done to say farewell and to welcome a new airliner or is this rarely seen?...

Thanks for sharing. I' m a New York resident and only saw this aircraft 2X ever; once inside a hangar and once approaching JFK.

These officers have nothing better to do? How many actual crimes were committed while you were harrassed?

Thanks. Great shots of the arrival of AF 1. Is it still called Angel? I can imagine the security to get so up-close to Ben Gurion.

Anyone notice the similarity in livery with the Air China B744 and the NASA SCA used to ferry Orbiters, N905 ? They both have white fuselages with royal blue pinstripes over the windows and a light...

The members of ARC are very knowledgeable about models and they have the same problem attaching the Shuttle securely to the 747 SCA. They are more resourceful than I and even cut his own thin metal...

Well, sadly I can't attach the Shuttle atop the 747 SCA securely. I had this same problem back in 1984 and wound-up with a nice 747 and Shuttle. I've tried to attach, but the Shuttle keeps...

Finally completed the Revell 1/144 SCA/Shuttle kit. It took 2 weeks and lots of hard work. Well-worth the price of $50. The only problem is that the included plastic struts which attach the roof of...

Never heard anything negative about flying on Aer Lingus. I remember fondly their 3 747's. Suddenly, they were replaced by lowly Airbuses. What a surprise I had back in 1995 seeing these magnificent...

Here's my annual reminder that most nations are still on Standard Time (Winter Time) until the last Sunday in March so almost all European inbounds should arrive about 1 hour later than usual. Asian...

I know the old PanAm Terminal is slated for demolition. I have already signed the petition to save it; but that won't do any good unless the building is classified as a landmark (slim chance for...

Sunday I went spotting at the Brooklyn shoreline when I learned JFK was using the VOR 13L approach. There was a big problem, the clouds were hovering at about 2,000 feet with few openings, so I heard...

Amazing and in the 80's and 90's before the internet, I believed I was the only spotter. In fact all my friends laughed and called me "Bird watcher".
