Found out at the last minute about the rescheduled flyby, so I rushed to the Hoboken waterfront armed only with my point'n'shoot.
I was surprised... they actually skirted the western edge of the river corridor on both passes, then apparently flew out over where I had just come from (Newark).  Roll Eyes I had hoped top get a nice profile shot with the midtown Manhattan skyline in the background, but no joy.

But no matter- I was there to experience it; the photos are just keepsakes.

Nice catch Sean. I wanted so bad to get up there but just couldn't do it.  I'll be up there when they bring her up the river on a barge.

Last time she was on the 747, she did the landing tests.  Good shots.
