@ Bottie
My guess? AMC Aviation A310 SU-BOW

Tommypilot · Post by **Tommypilot** » 06 Sep 2005, 21:59

Its def. a Boeing B737(notice the maingear) but which one...?

Still trying to figure it out!

We (Tommypilot and me) discussed about it and think it's a CSA B735. Any thoughts guys?

Btw no much colour in the picture Bottie, also the exposure isn't optimal what makes colour-loss.

Definite a CSA 735, photographed it myself several times.

@ Bruspotter, indeed relaxing in the garden, looking @ jetpampers on the ground and jets in the air, seems a good combination

Btw a got a Q too: which A320 could this be, Sept 04 at 1751 cruising W?

The A320 from Skystef looks like a Eurofly one.

Many thx for your reply, Ivo.

With a little bit of luck you may get 2 cruising planes within the reach of a 500mm lens, in this case a contrailing classic Jumbo of Cathay Pacific & a non-contrailing and climbing A330-300 of LTU, both going to W at 1632 LT on Sept. 04.

Hello

Great great great!! LOVELY!!!!

Skystef! You lucky guy , I used to see this things too , when the FRA-USA route was still fully located north of my place (so perfect light).

O WHERE THAT GOOD TIMES!!!!!

Now I don't see any scenery's anymore like that. I once saw CX 74Y and a WO M1F maybe a mile or 3 behind each other and cruising the same direction , the same route , and maybe almost exactly the same altitude. both in for FRA I guess.

The great days. Ironically enough the route seen to have been stopped since LH received it's 346's

:(:(

The Far East-LHR/MAN/LGW etc.... route is in the South so very hard to spot due to the bright sun light

Best regards: Yannick

Does anyone know which one this is?
I saw it flying over EBBR on Sunday.

My guess goes to Kenya 777, but I could be wrong.
Anyone any idea?

i love those contrails which break up at the end. there usually produced by 747s or a340s.
this photo explains it all:

3 'new' ones (easy ...)

AN124 · Post by **AN124** » 07 Sep 2005, 23:25

The first one is a Eva MD11
Second one is a Martinair B767

Don't know about the third one, she looks a little white to me.

On the third one its even written under the wing, so definite a B767 of Alitalia.

Always a nice moment to see a B747SP, nowadays choice is mostly limited to the Syrianairs cruising to London. In this shot it catches the last rays of the Sun on September 7, taken @ 2017 LT.

Continuing on the Corendon-planes. I took a pic last week of the TC-TJB. The belly is visible.

Apparently, on the TJA, there's only the name of the company. On the TJB, there's the internet address

See this link for the picture.

Thx for your reply. Now I'm sure that my guess was correct

Hello

Wow , again some more nice pics of nice contrailstrippers

EBBRspotter. Indeed , it IS a KQ 772 5Y-KQS new colors

Saw the same plane cruising over BRU from Nairobi-AMS about 7km alt (or 21/22000ft alt) Friday 26/08. Marvelous. nice pic by the way.

No doubt about this one:

AN124 · Post by **AN124** » 09 Sep 2005, 19:10

Hmm wonder what that one could be.

It would go for a Volga Dnepr AN124 aka Ruslan
