Hej all, for work I needed to be in Baltimore and the quickest way was to fly directly from Amsterdam to Washington. As I never been in Washington, I added a bit of the weekend to the trip, also for some planespotting. Washington-Dulles 5 August 2022 Shortly after arriving, I made my way to the top-...

At what time did you shoot the spcl Transall across the museum ?

In the morning or afternoon ?
is the fence quite high ?

Cheers,

Hi Stephane!

It was taken late morning/early afternoon. It was through the fence as the fence itself was to high.

Cheers!

Hi all! My last topic from the Toulouse-area for now as we’re heading back home. Anyway, on the way back from Toulouse to our vacation home, I made a quick stop at Francazal again to see what’s new: 1. With the US-Bangla ATR gone from it’s spot, I was now able to take a picture of this Chengdu Airli...

Hi again! While driving towards the city of Toulouse, my son and I noticed a BelugaXL doing circuits around the airport, so we decided to see if we could spot it, as I hadn’t seen one before. 1. Light was a bit tricky but the first interesting aircraft seen was this A320neo F-WWTZ, which is going to...

Hej! A quick stop at Francazal on a warm and sunny Sunday morning gave the following interesting catches. 1. This Skybridge EMB-120 I-SKYB has been at Francazal for a few years but it was the first time I noticed it. It’s now parked in the corner near the control tower, with all doors open and will ...

Very nice!

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers!

I think in US only GYR offers this kind of level of access to photograph. Maybe VCV in some level too, but only because of the loooong fence line. Nice shots! Earlier this year I was very disappointed when visiting Goodyear due to ongoing construction work, preventing access to the fence. And, inde...

Yes, all from outside the fence. Be prepared to wade through the cornfields to get close to some of the aircraft.

Cheers!

Hej all! My wife wanted to go to see Lourdes and who am I to deny that? Well, as long as we could make a quick stop at Tarbes-Lourdes. And so we drove the 1,5 hours to the airport and what was planned to be a quick stop ended up being an almost 1,5 hour session. Luckily the wife and kids were patien...

Hi all, As our vacation home this year is just a 35 minute drive away from Toulouse, I kept an eye out for Beluga-flights as I still needed to photograph these. Everyday, early in the morning, the flights pop-up in Flightradar24 and so the family and I made the short commute to Blagnac to witness th...

Nice pics again Anton, :clap: Never been there myself , but it's high on the list. Do you walk around the fence, and no problems with local uniformes....? Thanks! Yes, you just drive/walk into all the nooks and crannies at the hangars. As the sun is best in the late afternoon, I never experienced a...

Hi everybody! On the way down to our vacation home, we made a nightstop at Chateauroux Airport. I took this opportunity, of course, for some photographing in lovely warm golden hour light. For those planning a visit to CHR, it’s not as packed anymore as last year. The French E-3Ds are gone, as is qu...

Some nice catches!!

Cheers!

Great shots!!

Love the Convair.

Cheers!

Very cool!

Love the B737-200 and the C-26 as well!

I’ll be visiting IAD in early August, hopefully with some nice catches as well.

Cheers!
