Seen here, cabin cleaners work quickly to get the 747 ready to accept new pax for the night flight to London Heathrow.

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

Seen here is the view of my balcony facing rwy 35/17. The view is amazing but with no A/C in the room and noise from airplanes almost all night long it's definetely not for everyone! Note that the runway is actually much closer than it looks due to using wide angle lens for this photo

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)

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
