Do any really big planes still land? Is it still a party at the end of the runway? If so what days / times?

I believe the KLM 747's still show up. I have no idea what times however...

I think KLM big bodies are L1011's or something like that.

There are several every day, so your odds of seeing one are good.

I just watched them for two weeks from Belmar. KLM has 2-3 flights a day. They have a daily flight that lands at 2:45 and a near daily flight that lands around 1. They are flying MD11's

Something with the word 'eleven' in it! :-)

So, in answer to your question...it is no longer a Friday evening party at the end of the runway.

I think KLM was using 747's on Friday's a while back and watching those babies come in was a real treat! Now that they have multiple flights per day I believe the crafts are smaller (but still very large!) and not quite as "impressive". Neat to watch them but scary to hear them in the middle of the night.
