Hey epsilon... don't worry about the lense... I'm shooting with a panasonic Lumix FZ5 and that's not even a dSLR... but it gets the job done and it's a friendly bunch around here!

Isn't it great when you can identify the planes that pass over your head? :wink:

Hi all, Today I spotted this 747-sp model, going eastbound around midday... I know the pictures aren't the best, but does anyone recognize the airline? http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/8095/omagunknown36pm.jpg http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/4050/omagunknown49my.jpg Man, I would like to spot a 74...

I think most payware is sold using the internet... There are various designers that allow you to pay over the net. Then you'll get a registrationkey to acces the download-area of their sites. I've never seen the good payware beeing sold in Fnac, only the less trustworthy stuff ( read crappy add-ons)...

Way too late, but for the russian aircraft fans: http://samdimdesign.free.fr/ Thanks for the tip! I downloaded & installed their Yak-40 but am not very impressed: the third eninge is inoperative, no throttles, no master battery/avionics switches, and worst of all no explanation of how to use th...

I nominate any plane designed by Tim Conrad ( not so common plane-types), Milton Shulpe, Rick Piper and Kirk Olsson ( F-16, Mirage F1, F-86 Sabre)

And I nominate www.simviation.com as best FS-site... ahum... :D

Hmm... I'm in contact with quite a lot of British enthousiasts and some of them seem to go each weekend to another fly-in or airshow... I always get the impression that mainland events are the small brothers of the UK-types... And I'm new, so I'm not aware of the scale of any show! :lol: The Schaffe...

Spotting related events in belgium

Hi all, Since I've got my digital camera, I've become interested in spotting aircraft. So far I went to EBOS and EBBR, and plucked some nice planes flying over my house near Ursel. But now it's almost summertime, I ask myself what kind of events are organised in Belgium this year. I know about Koksi...

Hey AF036 I have pictures to confirm all my claims... :wink: I've looked up D-ACRN at airliners and it matches with the tail I saw. ( dotted Lufthansa regional tail) On the PH-MCQ I can say i'm about 90% sure it's correct. However, I wrote down the registrations after viewing the shots at home. And ...

Hey,

Could you tell us what specific model you will use? There's 737-200, 737-300, 737-400,... up to 737-900...

The bodies of these planes differ in length, thus differ in passenger capacity...

Cheers,

Thanks...

To complete the log, I also witnessed the arrival of a Ethiopian Cargo 757, a Kallitta 747, a Eva Air cargo MD-11 , a black Lear jet and a Governmental Airbus A320 - I cant clearly read the markings: Romania or Italy? All landed on 25R.

"Big brother" at EBOS

I'm visiting EBOS from time to time and follow the posts about the airport on this site. I've seen some remarks towards "big brother" who's watching the spotters. Now, to make sure I never get into trouble, what seems to be the problem when going near the airport? I shoot from " het K...
