JFK ATCT and DPA Fly-In

I thought I'd share with you some pictures from a recent fly-in into JFK that was organized by the Downwind Pilots Association. We (not me, as I couldn't get a plane) flew into JFK and then toured the tower before departing up the Hudson River to HPN, having lunch, and then returning to FRG or ISP.

A friend of mine was the front line manager so I was able to stay around after the tour had finished in order to take these pictures of them departing. Unfortunately, I only had an iPhone so the zoom was not nearly good enough for the speckles of objects that they were flying. As a side note, it is very humorous to see a small, tiny little Piper or Cessna taxiing amidst two A380's, 747's, and a 787. You can't help but say, "Oh, how cute is that little baby plane!?"

Here's one more. If you look really close, you can see one of the aircraft lined up on Runway 31L at KE, and the other holding short of KE on B.
