    Plane spotting today @ JFK

    Went with a buddy of mine today, who used to work in the tower at JFK. Spotting from the TWA Hotel rooftop bar/pool, within the airport, A380's, Dreamliners, 777's, Embraer 190's etc. Perfect day with a south wind they were pulling off the 13's. BTW, no buybacks at the bar.

    My Dad used to work at JFK in Customs when we lived in Levittown. He used to say the greatest thing about working there was when you finally got home.
    He got me the Beatles autograph when they came in 1964. Wonder what it’s worth now

    SHORTLEG, I sent you 2 PM's for your #, anyway, I'll send another one. He had to know Charles Mattina. I don't know what year your dad retired but it had to be close. Mattina left teaching in, I would say, 1977-78 to go to Customs at JFK, I'm pretty sure his brother was there already. My friend, who lives in Westbury, loved the job, hated the commute. You can put that on eBay, with a reserve price, and you never know.
