What event was this photo op for?

Awesome

This image was set up by request of Port Authority NYNJ. They wanted a shot of the represented three carriers near the new runway...31L. I told them we could get all three marshalled in 10 minutes on the runway and photograph in ten minutes, start to finish...Surprisingly they went for it...all three aircraft were revenue flights and were filled with passengers ready to depart post shoot.

Excellent!

insane! was this shot from a helicopter?

Just had to say great pic - looks like an 320, 757 and one other mystery-craft.

@NCDesq, it's an A321 and 2 757-200s.

sorry A320

The image was recorded from an 85 foot boom truck parked adjacent to the aircraft.

Wonder if AA got around to fixing that hydraulic leak in the lower rudder on that '75.

Report
No they sent it Roswell, NM for her funeral - where all AA aircraft go to die or wait :-)

Wow what a nice photo!

Cool

"Ladies and Gentlemen this is your captain speaking if you would look out the left side of the aircraft, smile and say cheese..we will get underway momentarily."
