Weird JFK & LGA Google maps devoid of aircraft
Google maps is currently showing JFK without a single aircraft at a gate! In fact there are only a handful on the taxiways. LGA is also without aircraft. However EWR shows plenty of planes. Weird...

They likely have updated JFK and LGA thus far and not EWR yet.

As this is not related to any specific airline, it will move to the appropriate destination forum.

I would say this is a mystery.
