Spotting @ KLGA Includes a visit from the President of the U.S. (6/17/18)

Real World Aviation Spotting
#1

On Sunday my father actually took me out to plane spot and we ended up spending the whole day together having some bonding time. I found two great secret locations (MacNeil park and 113th Ave in College Point Queens) where I got some amazing shots of LaGuardia.

Disclaimer: I don’t have the best camera in the world, nor am I the best spotter in the world, but these are some of my best shots so please enjoy.

How was the spotting (and smell) of LaGarbage?

But seriously, I hope you had a good time.

I’m used to the smell by now. I had a great time, what counts the most is being with your dad on Father’s Day. That’s what makes it special.

Saw his aircraft at LGA one time. Pretty cool - you should watch the documentary about it, it’s pretty interesting.

The Trump 757 is now owned by Trump’s brother. When it lands, a few black SUV’s come through the gate into the airport and escort him in and out. I’ve seen it a few times.

Nope. I never have, and hopefully never will (other than spotting) 😉

#12

DJT Jr. most likely. He’s been using it for his role in the business

What runways were LGA using when you got there?

#17

During calm weather they shall use the same runways. It was calm on that day so landings were on runway 22 and takeoffs on 13.

#18

What is the weather most of the time like on the Hudson?

#19

I mean, the weather changes like any other place. Today it’s sunny but it could be rainy any other day.

#20

Well I mean as to runway operations (sorry I should’ve said that lol) what runway do they use on a sort of windy day?
