Hey Squeegeeboy. It takes an evening usually, depending on number of flights in a given hour.
I target specific hour of a specific day. And I grab the atc archive for that hour as well, just to have more info.
This way I can try to catch, for example, JFK when they switch patterns to illustrate a different pattern.
(Have not had the will power to go back to new york yet though... too many flights... haha. )
Update: New JFK one.
