Not bad, what time were you there? As you missed the daily 777 and continental 757 from Newark.

you should check out some of my shots from there ;)
An emirates 777 visits daily, there is also an A310  from PIA. both in the mornings usually around 10am'ish. the Continental 757 is usually in at 12:30.
