emassJFK22L.jpg516 viewsAnother photo most people don't get to see and appreciate what is in the photo. This is EMAS (Engineered materials arrestor system) at the end of runway 22L (there is another one at the other end of 22L which is same runway 4R). EMAS is supposed to slow down and eventually stop an airplane that cannot stop under it's own power. EMAS has already saved 3 airplanes that I'm aware of at JFK; an American Eagle Saab340, a Polar Air 747F and I think it was a Gemini MD11F

a340_EMB145_0909b.jpg516 viewsTiming 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

frankfurtFRAoverview_0910.jpg515 viewsIf you look behind the terminal you'll notice a behemoth cruise ship looking structure. 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)

airfrancea319ncenov03.jpg514 viewsDefinetely not what pilots want to see on final approach, or at any phase of flight for that matter. This flock of birds crossed the runway and were flying away from the flight path of the AF A319 on final approach, otherwise I'm sure the pilot would have taken evasive action. NCE has a very, very irritating noice making machine on the field to make the birds go away. Note that the airport is right on the Mediterranean and does attract heavy bird activity so pilots are very cognizant of the issue when flying into and out of NCE

While it's a bit hard to see from the angle I shot the airplane, the paint scheme on this 737 is different than other Southwest 737s as this one is much darker/shinier in order to reflect its significance to the company (not to mention that it's a retrojet as this was the company's old livery for many years until it was replaced with the current blue and red livery)

Maho Beach in Saint Martin has always drawn people to it because of the airplanes over the beach, but it is now at the point that during peak winter season you can barely see beach anymore, just people. Good for business for the island I guess but that little beach can only take on so many people, it's relatively small. These folks are about to watch the Air France A340 come over the beach
