At the beginning of the exposure the 747 was parked at the gate but seconds later it was being pushed back which is why you can see the jetway and tower on the other side of the airplane. In 2004 this 747's wings and other parts were removed in Amsterdam and it was ferried by water over to the Aviodrome museum in Lelystad, Holland

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

AERLINGUS_747-100_EI-ASI_JFK_0910_JP_small.jpg1476 viewsIt's hard to describe the love I have for these photos. This photo, taken 22 years ago was on cheap Ektachrome slide film, developed at the local drug store. I was able to restore it to its full glory after massive color correction, scratch and dirt removal- lots of work but well worth it. This beautiful Aer Lingus 747-100 just touched down on runway 31R and went long, to the delight of this photographer (most airplanes turn off earlier and this type of photo is not possible)

Note the temporary red protective tape used on windows and any openings on the airplane

aa752_n713tw_fll_1_03.jpg1449 viewsI would venture to say that only hard core airliner enthusiasts know that this is a TWA 757 in American Airlines colors. After American bought out TWA, the 757's were retained due to their ETOPS capability. Eventually the TWA 757s that went to American went on to serve with Delta which flies them with the addition of winglets. It's a bit hard to tell with the size of this photo but if you look at the A in American, just below it to the left is a TWA sticker.
