Notes:

Brand new runway with no skid marks...a rare sight. Ceremonial opening of JFK's runway 31L after four months of closure for widening and resurfacing using new grooved concrete, rather than asphalt. Here, airport admins pose for the birth of a runway that should last 40 years, well beyond their retirement. Notice the huge "31L" digits in the image (1200x800 pixels).

Looks cool. I am sure the controllers are happy to have this runway at their disposal again :).
