Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge North

Solid views of departures on 31L from this location adjacent to John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK/KJFK). You'll need a long lens to get up close with the planes, but the lighting works most of the day because of the wide turn out over Jamaica Bay and into the departures sequencing.
