 Hearts and Minds.........

Morning after.........
LaGuardia in New York...........OMG......!!!
Thanks Cappy for sending....What an Awful mess!!!!!!










Another Picture of LaGuardia this morning........Have to wonder how much damage to the runways, the runway and taxiway lights.....espcially if it all salt water intrusion........??!!.........the Aviation Geek in me..........loves all 'Airports' as if they are my children............Yea I'm "Corny".......Oh Well..........Thanks Ritchie for this one as well........!!!!.....might have to put you on the payroll...........:)))))))



This Morning.......
What an "Epic".......weather map.....
"Unfortunately"for all the wrong reasons..........
Thanx Cappy......!!!!


I wish 'Godzilla'............would come and "Divert".........
this Storm.........
not to make a joke..........
this is NO joking matter........
and is said,
 only  to make a bold "Point"...........♠
My Friend Bonnie sent this to me...........today.......of the Storm........moving in..........taken in NJ......
Thanks Bonnie......♠ 
Seems there are some 'Fake' pictures going around......
I "Despise" that Crap........!!!!....
This picture is authentic.....to the best of my ability.............!!!!

This picture off the "live" web cam "link" I posted here......earlier....!!!of a crane dangling.......on the 65th floor downtown..........NY..........Pretty scary!



Ritchie sent me this "info"...........and the "Pittsburgh"  airport pic below.........on what they are now describing  "Sandy"......
as a
 "Post Tropical Cyclone"....on the Weather channel a few minutes ago............
 His text below...........
So Hurricane Sandy has completely shut down all flights on the east coast. I was supposed to fly YYZ-DCA today, returning home tomorrow. Wrong! I'm told the following airports are now shut down completely and not expected to resume flight operations till Wednesday at the earliest:

• Philadelphia (PHL)
• Washington, D.C. Reagan National Airport (DCA)
• Washington, D.C. Dulles (IAD)
• New York LaGuardia (LGA)
• New York JFK
• Newark (EWR)
• Albany (ALB)
• Binghamton (BGM)
• Elmira (ELM)
• Islip (ISP)
• Ithaca (ITH)
• Newburgh (SWF)
• Syracuse (SYR)
• White Plains (HPN)
• Boston (BOS)
• Bangor (BGR)
• Burlington (BTV)
• Hartford (BDL)
• New Haven (HVN)
• Harrisburg (MDT)
• Williamsport (IPT)
• Providence, R.I. (PVD)
Craig R.




Pretty well all the airlines have moved their planes from these airports to other locations, in order to protect them from damage. I've attached two pictures of Pittsburgh, taken from the Pittsburgh Airport Facebook page. It looks like the good old days when US Airways used it as a hub.

Hardly the first time I've been stranded by weather. But this time, I'm stranded at home. How nice is that..........I think it is very nice.........!!!!
 
Thanks again Ritchie...........


As Cappy described yesterday, when he sent me this pic of the flight he was scheduled to fly to into PHL....and was cancelled ♠

Below is a  continues......."Live Cam".......over downtown New York..............
I fear at what may lie ahead............!!!
Remembering "Hurricane Isaac" that made landfall,  here in New Orleans and S.Louisiana......almost 2 months ago.......!!!!Its the knowledge that much of our life.........will, no longer be the same.........and the Fear of the "Unknown"......is terrifying....!!!!
I am praying to God......that this turns out  to be an 'Over Exaggerating on my part.......!!!!!





Our Hearts are very "Heavy"............


MissTWA and all her friends here........
Our "Hearts" and "Prayers"...............
go out to all those who are, and will be affected by "Sandy"......!!!!....
I'm "Worried" sick......!!!I just pulled these 2 pictures of JFK........and surrounding airports......and no Planes anywhere........for such a Wide area of  the country.......This is just "Terrifying" to me........!!!

Plus going to "Live" ATC......at JFK.......
there is the most "Eerie" Silence.......
Lord, .....PLEASE....
watch over those who live in the path.....!!!!





Please see below for the "Question"............



Ok......
this ATC srip.........off Captain Vector's
(View from the tower).........blog.....
He....
posed this

"Question".... below.......


"I saw...... this strip yesterday, and happened to notice something interesting." Any guesses?

I have NO idea.....maybe one of my "Aviation" buddies, would have a clue here........!!!!!
 



OK.........."Saints"...............WTF..........

Yep..........my "Saints".............
Sucked........Rotten Eggs last night......!!!!
and Roger Goodell,(commisioner of the NFL) share's some of the responisbility..........!!!
Come Feburary when he HAS to come to New Orleans for the Superbowl,.........let me put it this way, he should opt out for a tour of duty in Afghanistan, where he'll be "Safer"......


Back to our regular, scheduled... 
"Aviation" programming today, a bit later today....
MissTWA(the Big "WHINY BABY").......
signing off for now......
Ughhh

Hey Jules,

Please, please, please check the NOTAMS and PIREPS before even considering heading north to buzz GG on that broomstick of yours tonight!!!

I'm sure the desire will be overwhelming but please, just for this Halloween perhaps think about heading south for a change? How 'bout you go Llama-worrying in South America? One glimpse of those bloomers and they'll be scarred for life!!! LOL!

Hey, where's my candy? I have eggs and toilet tissue you know!

All the best!

D from the UK :)

PeterC said...

Hi Julie I visit often cause it's so delightful. I just get my smiles for the day and quietly slip away. This storm was unbeleivable. I grew up in north jersey and lived in Toms River for years. So I've been in many of the affected areas. All of my family are back there are ok. I do read captainvector. This current strip looks just fine to me so I'm waiting on his answer.

Giulia said...

PeterC said...

That was one of those $100 hamburger flights that due to inflation is now a lot more. I'd flown from VGT (North Las Vegas) to FUL (Fullerton, CA) to have lunch with a former co-worker and friend. Sometime later I was checking my track on flightaware to see how straight the little blue line appeared. Believe me when the autopilot is off it's never a straight line :)) Someone had taken a picture and put it online. Checked my logbook and the flight was 12/27/09 with a note Great Lunch so I must have had a good time.

PS No not mine. Always been a renter or in a flying club.

getjets said...

Oh Peter......you mean you go 'fly' just to go have a hamburger....with a friends.....OMG....How absolutely COOL!!!!!!..I would love to look that one up....care to give the flt #.....so I can see your handy work.....for myself....;))))))))......WAIT...!!!!......I CAN look it up.....!!!.......... didn't they teach you in Kindergarten......how to color in the lines....??.Hey I flunked out...!!....Kidding...!!!!!!

YEP.......I'll be there at the "Old Folks home"........where they'll wheel you in.....for your roast/retirement ..and I consider it a "Compliment" being compared to
♥-Phyllis Diller-♥ or ♥-Lucille Ball-♥........when humor was truly humor....and not have to use the "Shock"...♥-Factor-♥...to make people laugh.......!!!!
COME ON CAPPY.......WE WANNA KNOW.......THE "ANSWER"
