I took this yesterday while in a 4G inverted dive with an F3.
Ok so maybe I was just standing on a rock and it flew past me.

Damn, thats a cool pic, and given that the wings are still mostly swept back I'm assuming it was doing a fair speed:D

The AN124's used to be regular but now a rare sight. Usually just a case of being in the right place at the right time...very ad-hoc into Shannon it is..

Thats the way it is with any big jets in Shannon unfortuneately, you never know what you'll see come in or go out

Should be going to Washington next month for a day or two. Just put in flight duty requests. Want to get to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum beside IAD. WIll provide a lot of links to my pics when I get back.

Have also requested to go to Chicago on the day of the Chicago Air and Water show.

Must keep an eye on the shuttle timetable. May try to get to the Cape before a launch to get pics.

Have jsut become able to request transatlantic flights so am playing with my possible timetable

I was in Washington last year, got to the Smithsonian on the National Mall (the main public one) but not the other facility at IAD. The IAD one looks absolutely massive, it's beside one of the runway thresholds so you should easily see it on landing.

The Smithsonian on the Mall has an incredible aircraft collection, mainly up to the early '60s, and lots of space stuff - I presume the bigger, more modern stuff is at IAD. If your looking to get pics (and you should!) go early because the place gets busy, and as you're close to the planes it's difficult to get a clear shot.

Reminds me to upload my own shots...

Myself and the missus were out in Ballymun at the weekend having a gawk at where the Ikea shop will be. I knew it was close to the airport but I had no idea it was this close:

Many thanks Steyr. I was very lucky as it did a circuit of Ballymun and as it was heading back to the airport they passed right over us.

Hers are a few of the my better shots from the Paris Air Show on Saturday and from the fantastic CDG Terminal 2E yesterday evening.

Flew Cityjet Air France from SNN-CDG and having not flown with them since 1998 its like flying business class compared with EI/FR with complimentary croisants/roll's and 2 rounds of complimentary drinks and bar on both flights and free newspapers at the boarding gate in CDG for all passengers. The crew on the way over from SNN in particular are a credit to the airline.

Load was about 90% from SNN in economy with only about 3 empty economy seats on the return last night so hopefully WX will stick with the route.

Thats the idea behind the paint job its called a "retro jet".:) A few other airlines are into this too.

Thats the one missing from my collection! Have all the other (current) Europen ones. I really like that livery on a A320. Your mind plays trick sand you think its a different (older) aircraft.

Love the shot of the Arabs in the Rafale cockpit,thats getting worked up up abut getting a new toy. I love the shape of the Rafale fuselage.

Shame AF didn't have their new A380 present,even a flypast would have been good. Am sure its not ready for delivery yet.

Just in case you do not know, the AA 777 is in a special livery - From AA - "We're now proud to be the Official Airline of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and their first-ever Lifetime Promise Partner. In honor of our joint resolve, eight aircraft (a 777, a 757, and six American Eagle Embraer aircraft) will carry a special livery, building awareness globally of our vision of a world without breast cancer."

I am experimenting with photo's. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Steyr · 06-07-2009 5:20pm

Armin,

Who owns the Apache, is she Dutch? Just thinking she cant be British due to the lack of Longbow Radar.

alpha2zulu · 06-07-2009 6:58pm

Just came across some really nice pics of the delivery of the Aer Lingus A330 EI-SHN IN 1994 and 737 EI-BXK in in one of the Irish posts on airliners.net. Message number 98 on that thread

Amazeing to see how old fashioned the A330 cabin looked in 1994!

Hey Steyr-
I've seperated these, I'd prefer if you didn't reuse these ones, sorry.
It was a training exercise, I'll post some pictures of the aftermath later, if I can.

Is this at LHR? I spotted that B777 myself,was wondering what the livery was for. Thanks

Foggy43 · 07-07-2009 9:16pm

Yes, I took this at LHR. I took it from the EAA building that will start to become Terminal 5D on completion of T5C.

Armin_Tamzarian · 16-07-2009 1:36am

Some recent ones from the UK.
They're not the best I'm afraid.

and last but most definitely not least...

Its genuine, they waived the altitude restrictions so the F-18 could go as low as they wanted.

Armin_Tamzarian · 19-07-2009 1:21am

As some of you may know there has been an ongoing project at work to return the XH558 to the skies.

They've managed to get a couple of flights off the ground recently.
I would have liked to have attended some myself but unfortunately I was away.

Here are some pictures a friend took of a recent flight.
AFAIK it was Captained by Sqn. Ldr. Martin Withers of Black Buck fame.

This is one of those stories that's so crazy it is probably true.

Here's how it goes: A Russian movie company hires two Sukhoi pilots to film a couple of stunts. The pilots agree to take off without a canopy.

Apparently following a plot-twist in the film, the back-seat pilot ejects from the aircraft while the front-seater keeps flying.

(As a friend of mine notes: "Why use dummies when you can use real Russian pilots? Those guys are amazing." )

The front-seater later claims he flew beyond Mach 2.0 ... with an open canopy! And then he says: "While on this speed I even managed to pull out my fingers in glove for an inch or two outside - it became heated very fast because of immense friction force plane undergoes with the air."

Oh, and this was all done with Sukhoi's tail number 801, which is nothing less than the SU-35UB prototype -- one of the most advanced jets Sukhoi ever built!!!
