Well I suppose that the plane's sensors can detect the heat of the missile's rocket. About active and semi-active missiles, I beleive that the detection is based on the signal send by the missile itself and/or the launcher. The ECM system is able to "understand" if the plane is locked as I...

hey don't worry I certainly won't take it bad :lol: About the 350D : it's as good as the Nikon (could I say more ? :D ) but my 1st impression was not so good. The grip is real small and so the handling was not as comfortable as for the D70. But it's a good idea to give the 350D a second try. Maybe I...

Hello,

About the Rotodyne, it was famous for its noise I think.

I don't dare to imagine a Rotodyne at Zaventem :lol:

Regards

About buying a prime, it's not really what I'm looking for as it lacks of flexibility. Anyway, thank for your comments. About the wheigt of the 50-...

Thank for your answer. Well 1000 € is for the lens only :D So the 50-500 is at the top end of my budget. But what could decide me (apart the range) is aperture : 4-6.3 for 50-500 4 for 100-300 How good is the 50-500 when light isn't so good ? I've read good advice about either lens but if 300mm coul...

Hello, As a newcomer in aircraft spotting I'll get soon a new dslr. My choice is narrowed between D70/D70s/D50, final choice not yet done but as specifications are rather similar, the price may be the deciding factor. About D50 is the 2,5 fps limit (vs 3 for D70(s)) a real drawback ? About lenses, a...
