Remarks: One of the last Qantas -300 aircraft flying...how much longer will these continue flying? Note the unpainted engine nacelles, as compared to their -400 aircraft.
Remarks: Closeup of the starboard nose depicting what may be an impact crack in the co-pilot's window as shown (which surely must have startled him if it was). Note some of the additional damage most likely done by the scraping, pushing and hauling of the jet while it was submerged and against a wall at Battery Park City. Also notice radar equipment beneath the nose cone which is normally hidden to us all. Great work by a very talented flight crew.
Remarks: Taking off to the west on runway 25L on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Notice the very faded letters "m" and "a" in the title...I've seen so many AA aircraft like that....very curious about why that is. Any ideas?
Remarks: Ascending off runway 25L, heading straight toward the sun, is one of the few NW 747s still around. We used to see these at JFK all the time....not anymore.
Remarks: A very heavy BA 747 heading up off runway 25L, as shown by the AA hangar in the background (usually aircraft are well above this structure on takeoff). A great sunny day in LA!
Remarks: View from the right seat of Cessna N3544G as we are about to land on runway 06 at MacArthur Airport (ISP). Notice all the tire skid marks at both ends of the runway in this unique view (image #300).
Remarks: Just out for a nice flight on a beautiful late summer afternoon aboard Cessna N3544G. Here one sees Calverton Airport, formerly a Grumman air base for training and now a subject of debate regarding its use in the future. The water at the top is Long Island Sound, and the piece of land just above that is Connecticut.
Remarks: Flying just south of Brookhaven Airport on Cessna N3544G on a sunny late summer day. The highway to the left (west) is William Floyd Parkway and the small circle in the trees just above center is the Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Lab.
Remarks: The big A380 being towed in after landing around 14:30 from its two hour sightseeing flight to SFO. Notice the comparison in size of the jet relative to the people.
