One of a few that I tried to get in Hong Kong the other day:

If only I could figure out how to take better pictures through glass though as it was too sunnoy on the other side of the terminal.

Some from my phone last saturday and sunday. Finally found a good place to watch landings at Wellington International. Must get decent camera and go up again some sunny day. Sadly nothing bigger then a 757 lands there but its a cool airport!

Thats where you need to be right under that 738 Sir as it looks like the runway is on a hill, cool snaps.

*Kol* · 28-08-2008 6:22pm

I wsh my camera could take photos as good as your phone!!!

vulcan57 · 28-08-2008 8:19pm

They are excellent pictures from a phone. Seems like a great place to be for spotting, look forward to seeing some more when you go back. Thanks for sharing.

pclancy · 28-08-2008 9:32pm

Its just a Sony Ericsson K810i, not expensive at all any more and has a 3.2 megapixel camera. Ideal for basic shots on the move.

Wait till you see shotsfrom my house, I'm overlooking wellington harbour and depending on the wind I can see streams of 737s and Q300s coming in every evening with commuter flights from all over new zealand. Its a cool approach too, right between two hills.

Am going up for my first lesson in a Piper Tomahawk on Sunday so I'll make sure and get some more snaps on the ground and in the air.

It looks like some of the aircraft in the pictures have seen a better days. I thought that liner are washed up regularly to reduce the drag/?/
Reminds me of some military a/c after a few weeks of frontline duty, such a filthy yokes. :eek:

It looks like some of the aircraft in the pictures have seen a better days.

I assumed these were in storage ?

The pictures from NZ are really cool nice one !

Steyr · 29-08-2008 1:35pm

Thats more than likely an Aircraft Junkyard.

*Kol* · 29-08-2008 2:03pm

JUst parked but probably wont be used again.

Tenger · 12-09-2008 2:14pm

Not of an aircraft alone.

A few here from a recent trip,
Our Aer Lingus A330-200 in shannon, there was heavy rain that morning.

Newfoundland from 36,000ft

The tip of Prince Edward Island in the Gulf of St Lawrence from 36,000ft

The heavy lifters in JFK. I couldnt get a better angle on the A380. It was my first
time seeing one. What an amazing aircraft.

Steyr · 15-09-2008 11:39pm

Excellent shots, typical EINN wx:pac:

Thats still a nice shot...showing the 2 heavies beside each other. Gives a nice comparison. And nice that the B747 is SQ,the only other operator of A380.
Am off to JFK this week will have the camera ready to try get the EK A380. Was that on taxi in or near your parking stand?

*Kol* · 16-09-2008 9:57am

One more

The two were parked beside gate A7 in terminal 4. Local time was 5.00pm when I took the shot. SQ and EK have lounges on the floor above the one where this shot was taken. Have a good trip.

Gotta love the 777 lovely aircraft.

Where were you located?

whyulittle · 19-09-2008 2:09am

Why, is it yours?!

ian_m · 19-09-2008 10:51pm

If it was mine I probably wouldn't be asking.

whyulittle · 20-09-2008 1:22pm

It was taken over Athlone. Headed back in the direction of Lough Ree.

Here are some photos I took a few weeks ago off Vancouver Island. I was in a DH Beaver Floatplane. I have other photos but they wont upload, too big maybe, any ideas how to solve this.

Hi V, have you tried uploading with Photobucket? Its good at resizing them.:)

V Bull · 29-09-2008 7:29pm

Thanks a mill for the advise Steyr, here are a few more for yeh, hope you like 'em.

We took a flight around part of Vancouver Island, fantastic time, and a along came an Otter to fly along side us for a while. Our pilot Bryan, told us that it was unusual for them to fly together and if we would e-mail him a copy of the photos, so I did. From what I hear from Bryan, no one else e-mailed any photos to him, typical eeh (real Canadian slang that)

forgot to mention, thats the Number 5 painting hanger here in Lufthansa technik in Hamburg.

Two 747s as you can see comfortably fitting in the hanger. both are jacked off the ground with landing gears removed.

Normally, taking photos here is strictly forbidden. (because they are generally privatly owned planes) but, this was for a power point presentation and is allowed.

Fratton Fred · 30-09-2008 1:45pm

Wow, that must require one hell of a spray can:D

Nice photo:)

FiSe · 30-09-2008 2:10pm

Seriously now, what size of paintbrush are yous using?

Silenceisbliss · 01-10-2008 10:33am

interesting fact;

both the 747-200 (foreground) and the 747-400 (background) like most other planes reqire two coats of green primer and one coat of paint. so three coatings in all.

ONE coating of primer on JUST the vertical stabalizer on the tail weights up at 85kg :eek:

cyrusdvirus · 02-10-2008 8:17am

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the paint job on a C5 Galaxy weighs upwards of 5 tonnes...

That's a lot of make up for a big lady

SEPT 23 1989 · 02-10-2008 12:58pm

Silenceisbliss just wondering are the corporate logos masked out and sprayed on or are vinyl graphics used on the aircraft?

Sorry totally OT, but just out of curiosity:

Is there such a thing like degreasing the airframe before the paint application or sanding between the coats?
And one more thing what make of paints are you using?
