March 22, 200323 yr As promise here are some pictures on the return from SDQ to JFK.1. Another AA 300-600R landing on Rwy 17 @ SDQ or MDSD..2. Level at FL400 again on A554 back to JFK3. Just coming inland we got a holding instruction due to wx and congestion at JFK, seems the fog was still hanging around with some thunderstorms in the area.4. While we were entering the hold @ Bergh.5. Finally got out off the hold after 2 turns, look at the tilt on the radar, that was all wx we were flying thru. Light to moderate rain with occasion turbulence, what an exciting day.6. Landed safely behind company 757 and taxi to the terminal. This was about 5:30PM and there was no change in the wx since we left in the morning.7. Shot of the one fo the 767-300 parked on a hard stand a JFK.Well thats it from my trip to SDQ, more to come........Hope you guys like the shots..I enjoy what I do and I'm happy to see and hear from people who like my hobby/job LOL.Later Joe.

March 22, 200323 yr Joseph,Those were great shots as well. What altitude were you at in the hold? 129 knot winds sound strong for a lower level. (than cruise)
March 22, 200323 yr Good observation Greg we were @ FL300 RVSM attitude and then descende to FL280 in the hold. Yeh that was a lot of wind, but once we went below 10,000 the winds were about 16kts. The upper winds were the reason why those thunderstorms moved so quickly..Joe.
