Scenes From John F. Kennedy Airport - New York

[Thornton Shepherd]

I was recently waiting for a flight at New York's Kennedy Airport and caught quite a few spotting clips. I compiled them and created the following video. Of note, please check out the rare Arik Air (Nigeria) Airbus A340-500, the El Al Boeing 747-400 and the Air France Airbus A380.

Nice production, Thornton. Just out of curiosity, was the 777 takeoff at the end also at JFK or was that shot somewhere else? It didn't look like the JFK airfield to me but maybe you captured an unusual angle.

Hi Philip,

The last scene was, in fact, shot at another airport. I did mention in the video description that one clip was added for effect. It was indeed taken at KPAE (Boeing field). I was there a few weeks ago to take the Boeing factory tour and caught the very first flight of that 777-300ER for Korean Air.
