Re: Chengdu en Lijiang, april 2010

Some of the civil aircraft as seen at Chengdu and Lijiang Airport. As Chengdu is not known for an abundant number of sunshine days it is no suprise that the blue skies are lacking from my pics. Added to that I also had to shoot trough a thick glass window that was probably last cleaned during the re...

Chengdu en Lijiang, april 2010

During my holiday in the Chinese provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan I visited Chengdu Shengliu airport and the local airport of Lijiang. The day after the earthquake, a PLA IL-76 visited Chengdu airport to pick up aid equipment just when I was waiting to board the KLM A330 back home. http://i392.photob...

Re: Online storage (photo backup)

and if you're afaid that it could be stolen, you can even hide it in a regular book. Just cut out space in the middle pages. Fortunately I don't have to do that myself, but it's just a thought.

Re: Codes or names?

I'm a spotter (and photographer) since 1981 and I know quite a few abbreviations but I'm always very annoyed when these are used in thread headers. There's just no way that someone can make me believe they don't know the (common) name of an airfield they've visited. Using abbreviations in your own d...

Re: Spottersplekken rond Schiphol,de veranderingen en toekomst

Wellicht wishful thinking maar zouden die nieuwe borden verband kunnen houden met de aanstaande herdenking van de THY crash?

Tja, ik wist dat ik er iets over had gelezen maar kon me niet meer herinneren waar en een zoek aktie gaf ook geen gewenst resultaat. Wellicht kan een mod de topics samenvoegen.

Geluidsscherm Polderbaan gaat niet door

Goed nieuws te lezen in De Telegraaf. Het (anti) geluidsscherm dat naast de Polderbaan zou moeten komen gaat niet door zo meldt de luchthaven Schiphol.

Go to prison for three years or pay a fine of Rs 1000? Something is out of balance if you consider the exchange rate of the Rupee.
