That is a new Hilton hotel featuring 5000 rooms. I watched this hotel being built from scratch- if you ever go to Frankfurt and drive by it, you'll see that it is just absolutely incredible. Note that it's a free standing structure (hard to tell that from this photo) 3 viewsAirline: DeltaType: 757-200Registration: N656DLAirport: ATLCity: AtlantaState: GeorgiaCountry: USADate Taken: November 2008N656DL undergoes routine maintenance as sister ships watch and await their turn in the maintenance bay 40 viewsAirline: IFL CargoType: Convair 580Registration: N171FLAirport: MIACity: MiamiState: FloridaCountry: USADate Taken: May 2010IFL Cargo Convair 580 rests on the tarmac as MIA's tower is seen on the other side of the field 50 viewsAirline: Air IndiaType: 777-200LRRegistration: VT-ALGAirport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: April 2010A departures hold program at JFK that night due to weather kept this Air India 777 sitting and waiting for ATC clearance to taxi 23 viewsAirline: Virgin AustraliaType: 777-300ERRegistration: VH-VOZAirport: LAXCity: Los AngelesState: CaliforniaCountry: USADate Taken: February 2010A fitting registration for V Australia (pronounced by ATC as "V OZ"), VH-VOZ transitions from a day of rest on a hardstand over to terminal 3 for a night time departure to Australia 6 viewsAirline: N/AType: N/ARegistration: N/AAirport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: June 2006Terminal 4 JFK-IAT's departure level and JFK tower shown 16 viewsAirline: JALType: 747-400Registration: JA8916Airport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: December 2002JAL 747-400 just departed rwy 31L and performs the left bank away from the city as part of what is termed by ATC as "Robinsville Climb" procedure when 31L departures are utilized 17 viewsAirline: Russia GovernmentType: IL76Registration: RA-78818Airport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: September 2009I watched this airplane take off shortly after this photo was taken, what a thunderous treat! It's like going back in time 30+ years! This IL76 belongs to the Russian Air Force 36 viewsAirline: LufthansaType: A340-300Registration: N/AAirport: N/ACity: FrankfurtState: -Country: GermanyDate Taken: September 2009Timing is everything! Lufthansa A340 flies over an Embraer 145. Some may see this and be shocked that this goes on but rest assured, this is completely normal and both aircraft are TCAS equipped (Terminal Collision Avoidance System). TCAS is a screen in the cockpit that shows other airplanes that are within the subject aircraft's airspace. The TCAS picks up other airplanes via their transponder which every airliner has on board. In addition to TCAS, ATC is also monitoring traffic, which is especially heavy over central Europe 23 viewsAirline: CondorType: 767-300Registration: D-ABUBAirport: FRACity: FrankfurtState: HessenCountry: GermanyDate Taken: September 2009Newly installed 12 foot winglets on this 767-300 in addition to lucky catch of strobe lit up as initial rotation begins from runway 25R 22 viewsAirline: VG AirType: A330-200Registration: OO-SFQAirport: N/ACity: N/AState: N/ACountry: USADate Taken: August 2002View in the cockpit of A330-200 at Flight level 410 (41,000 feet), having recently departed JFK's runway 13R, routing JFK-BRU. Leaving the USA in the evening and watching the sun set behind you is easy on the eyes, however, when the sun comes up again somewhere over the Atlantic it starts to get pretty uncomfortable in the cockpit, sun visors are a must. 15 viewsAirline: DeltaType: MD80Registration: N/AAirport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: January 2006This is the view air traffic controllers see on a cold rainy winter day when looking to the west from JFK tower. You can see Terminals 1, 2 and 3 (the tower is in terminal 4) 5 viewsAirline: American AirlinesType: 757-200Registration: N/AAirport: MIACity: MiamiState: FloridaCountry: USADate Taken: January 2005The tower skeleton in the background is concourse J contol tower under construction 12 viewsAirline: VarigType: MD11Registration: PP-VPJAirport: LAXCity: Los AngelesState: CaliforniaCountry: USADate Taken: December 2004Typically, aircraft landing on the north side of LAX use 24R, however, when there is no takeoff traffic on 24L (as seen with this Varig MD11), ATC will transition landing traffic to 24L to avoid having to land and hold short (LAHSO is the acronym used by the FAA) 24L plus save some taxi time & fuel consumption 16 viewsAirline: ContinentalType: 737-500Registration: N16618Airport: EWRCity: NewarkState: New JerseyCountry: USADate Taken: October 2002Seen in the background is the old Newark Tower which was demolished and is now CO ramp space 27 viewsAirline: FedexType: MD11FRegistration: N/AAirport: MIACity: MiamiState: FloridaCountry: USADate Taken: January 2003Photographed from MIA's tower (320 feet high), you can see on the bottom of the photo the top of the old tower (200 feet high, it is no longer there), Cargo City (where the Fedex and other cargo a/c are) and Miami's downtown in the distance 72 viewsAirline: TWAType: 747-200Registration: N53116Airport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: December 1994It's hard to tell until you see the large photo. I watched this TWA 747 land 31R, turned left taxiway Victor and all of a sudden it tipped on its left side. At first I had to take another look because I could not believe what just happened! Apparently the left main gear collapsed. Better on taxiway off the runway than when making contact on landing that's for sure! 32 viewsAirline: Alaska AirlinesType: 737-400Registration: N792ASAirport: LAXCity: Los AngelesState: CaliforniaCountry: USADate Taken: February 2009I go fishing for airplanes at airports, rarely do I catch a fish airplane! 15 viewsAirline: AIRPORT NAVAIDType: Runway hold shortRegistration: N/AAirport: LAXCity: Los AngelesState: CaliforniaCountry: USADate Taken: February 2008This photo is part of an extensive collection of airport signage and navaids that i'll be sharing with you. The double solid double broken lines you see are runway hold short bars. Pilots taxiing know that when they approach these lines, they are about to enter a runway. If it is an active runway (meaning currently in use), the pilot had better get ATC clearance to enter that runway or risk runway incursion which unfortunately does happen numerous times every year at many airports. Seen here is runway 25R on the south side of LAX and Delta Connection EMB145 on takeoff roll 87 viewsAirline: ATCType: N/ARegistration: N/AAirport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: October 2002Sam Kohn (now retired) works 119.1 (tower freq) on a nice VFR morning. Sam was the controller on freq when the first Concorde flew into JFK and he was also on freq when the last Concorde flew out of JFK! 195 viewsAirline: N/AType: N/ARegistration: N/AAirport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: July 2002Not a pleasant photo but one that I want people to see. Shown on the former Tower Air ramp are vehicles that were damaged on 9/11. I was in Manhattan (at the time I worked for an investment firm in Midtown) on 9/11 and my friends at the PA and JFK-ATC were working that day, a day we'll never, ever forget. May the victims rest in peace and may their families be well. 26 viewsAirline: ATCType: ASDE-XRegistration: N/AAirport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: February 2009Shown here is the full screen view of ASDE-X display at JFK. At the time runway 4L was used for departures and 4R for arrivals, most of which turn off and hold to cross 4L at taxiway Golf as they proceed to their gate. This is run of the mill stuff for ATC but for aviation enthusiasts and future ATC'ers to see what the fine folks at JFK tower look at as they do their job is really neat 26 viewsAirline: ContinentalType: 777-200Registration: N57016Airport: EWRCity: NewarkState: New JerseyCountry: USADate Taken: October 2002This one goes out to Jeff Devore, chief dispatcher at CO in Houston 100 viewsAirline: ATCType: ASDE-XRegistration: N/AAirport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: February 2009This is what controllers see (this is a portion of the entire screen at JFK tower) on ASDE-X even if operating in zero/zero visibility. This is the newest technology for ATC. Every airplane on the field's transponder is being picked up by radar and reflected on the screen. If any airport vehicles breach a runway, they will be visible on this screen. Note that areas in red reflect closed taxiways (construction/repair). At the time this photo was taken JFK was operating on the 4's and there was light snow falling (RVR4000). 33 viewsAirline: Air FranceType: ConcordeRegistration: F-BVFBAirport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: May 1999This may seem like just another window shot but it's not. That window, while hard to tell from the photo is a tiny window in F-BVFB, Air France Concorde. With my friend Joe Wolf who worked for Northwest at the time, I flew F-BVFB from JFK to Detroit (yes, I said Detroit). What's really special about this particular shot however as our ATC and PA friends at JFK will tell you, a 4L Concorde departure is extremely rare. Typically the Concorde departures would utilize 31L/13R or 22R, primarily for noise abatement. 29 files on 2 page(s) 1 2 Powered by Coppermine Photo Gallery
