AEROGAL_A320_HC-CJW_JFK_0911B_JP.jpgThis was a huge surprise for me at JFK. I shot this airplane in Quito back in February of this year and did not think I'd ever see it in NY. Typical equipment used is 767-300 or 757-200, I guess A320's also now..

UPDATE: I am told by my friends in Quito that the 767 is down for maintenance for perhaps up to a month, hence the A320's being used to JFK

No injuries luckily. Ironically, look at the top left of the engine cowling: NO PEOPLE nearby- no equipment either!Jul 14, 2011
