Good evening!

1. US Air Force 737NG
2. Gulfstream V maybe

parked nose on to the road.

Many thanks to all!

What was the US Air Force 737 doing here?

Hey Emirates,

I was just at the airport as well.

Unfortunately I couldn't take any regs since I tried some night photography on landing planes.

However I need the following regs if possible .

DC10 DAS departed after 9pm
MD11F eva landed around 9pm
small GA plane landed just before the EVA

Many thanks

Chris

Abducting some people who are supposed to be terrorists, take them to Romania to torture them

From what I could read off the 737 its tail, the reg was 10040

The Martinair 763 was PH-MCM (new colours)
Egyptair A330 SU-GCJ

There was also another nice visitor:
HB-JEA Embraer 135BJ Legacy G-V Executive AG

I saw them all passing by on approach for RWY 02. Imagine how hard I was 'studying'... :-s

I understand that "time flies when you are having fun" but if it is October already then I have missed a summer's spotting. LOL

THe Gulfstream was probably CS- DKB GV which I saw on Monday 23/1 at around 08.30 parked nose on to road.

Could you show us some results on this? I'm interested!

Here two pictures I made. I wasn't there for a long time and since there were not many planes landing on 02 I had only 3 chances to try to make pictures

Anyway, I'm pleased about the result for the first time, but I still have a lot to learn. I've taken the pictures with ISO 800 and an exposure time of 20-25sec. I think it's better to take them with smaller ISO values in the future.

If anyone has more experience don't hesitate to share it

Nice ones though!

I bet the first one was an Airbus, looking at the lights at the wingtips?

Avro · Post by **Avro** » 23 Jan 2006, 18:06

First one was an MD11F of Eva Air

And second one was a small GA plane...
