A couple of screenies of a Continental 737-400 departing Newark on a beautiful Friday afternoon...
Ready to spool engines at runway 4L...

Taken by a lucky spotter driving by on the New Jersey Turnpike...

Looks like Staten Island below with an inbound JFK flight in the background...

It's Erik. Back to SI for the summer?
I've got a great view of Newark's 22L final approach path from my apartment in the city. On a clear day you can pick them up as they make their right turn over Teteboro and follow 'em all the way to the Turnpike.

Unfortunately no. Since we live on the 16th floor I do have a great view of the turn from my couch. When I fly into Newark (in real life) I can see my apartment building if I am on the left side of the plane.
We are also on the LaGuardia approach for runways 22 & 13. Planes come up the Hudson at 3,000 feet before entering the final approach pattern for runway 22 (up and around the Whitestone bridge). Much lower, around 2,000 feet, before making a right hand turn onto the runway 13 glideslope.
You must get some JFK traffic, no?

Yup, but i live on the northshort of staten island near the goethals, so i get some low newark traffic pretty often. But I do see JFK traffic heading out over the atlantic :D
