AERLINGUS_747-100_EI-ASI_JFK_0910_JP_small.jpg
AERLINGUS_747-100_EI-ASI_JFK_0910_JP_small.jpgIt'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)

ELAL_747-200_4X-AXD_EWR_0896_JP_small.jpgThis slide was is complete salvage job. It is out of focus, scratched badly and has lots of dust/dirt. I cleaned it up the best I could because you may see photos of El Al 747's, and you may see photos of the World Trade Center, but you won't see photos of both of them at the same time. shown here is El Al 747-200 landing on runway 22L at Newark, as the WTC looks on...

Photographed from the parking deck of the old Pan Am Worldport is an Air China 747SP with some Pan Am airplanes in the background, but most importantly, the beautiful and sorely missed World Trade Center is visible. The photo was taken 10 years and 3 months before 9/11 and during this holiday season, a difficult one, we still must- never forget...

AIRFRANCECARGO_747-200F_F-GPAN_JFK_1090_JP_small.jpgThis is not a high quality photo but a historical one. It was photographed on Ektachrome slide film and processed at the local drug store, but held up well for 22 years, even with lots of dust and scratches that I cleaned up. 9 years after I photographed F-GPAN, it had a pretty nasty end-of-life experience in Chennai, India. Google F-GPAN to read the story of how it was written off

Here is a great 4L departure shot at JFK- and the slide is soft because I was using sub-par lenses. You live and learn...

Unfortunately, this would be the last time I would ever see the twin towers from Newark airport (August 2001), as the next time I would see them was from JFK just a few days before the 9/11 tragedy....
