  1. Hi there, does anyone know of any good resources for photos of the EMB E-Jet overhead panel? Any E-Jet model would be fine, it's for a mini cockpit replica I'm planning and although I have a few from specific angles, for some reason it's difficult to find various decently clear pictures. Probably because I don't know where to look 😂 Thanks.

    Nice sunny day so figured I'd do some more camera testing ... couldn't really find a good location, mostly from Parking Lot 7 (mid 10L) and Cell Phone area (28L too low to the ground showing all the heat haze). Tried to upload images but got server error ... not sure why (below Max Total Size of 4.97GB limit) ... so sorry you UK folk, these are on imgur:

    After watching KC10 84-0191 go over my house into MLD on Sunday, i made a run over to get a couple pics. Got lucky as we then had 4 KC-135 arrivals and the delayed C-5 just before the sun disappeared!!

    In case anyone was wondering how the pushback driver knows where exactly to push the airliner out to, here's the little manual in the tug which tells us that. Unless ATC says otherwise with instructions for a 'non-standard push' to somewhere different, this is the guide we follow. As you can see, most prop aeroplane pushbacks are straight back, this is to avoid stressing the nose gear too much. You would think this would make prop aeroplane pushbacks 'easy' and a good one to start learning on when new to doing pushbacks, but in fact they are some of the harder ones to do because the view is not great with the aeroplane being so close to the ground, and smaller aeroplanes …

    This one is about aircraft liveries. Post two liveries you love and to you hate. Good number 1 Love....... 1st is the British Airways Landor. This is the absolute world number 1 most perfect and beautiful livery ever created. There will be no challenge to this nor discussion about it. It's unquestionable and you will accept this as fact, ok? 🤣 Good number 2 The Britannia livery. This looked great on a 757 and I still love it to this day. Now for a couple of munters Bad 1 Wizz Air. There is absolutely no excuse for this gaudy nauseating monstrosity. It's disgusting in every possible way and if I had my way the thing would…

    Just recently a few weeks ago I decided to escape the cold of the North East and head down to Florida fora day trip for some plane spotting fun. I managed to meet up with a few other spotters and did some photography at KFLL as well as KMIA. The overall experience was great to say the least and I look forward to traveling back there again soon. Here is one of my favorite shots I took down at KFLL, which is also up on Jetphotos now. What are your thoughts on Air Canadas newer livery? Do you enjoy this one or the Toothpaste livery???

  13. Shamelessly stealing this idea from another forum I used to be active on. Basically, post a picture (preferably that you took, even if its potato quality like mine) of the last plane you flew on. Every time you fly, feel free to post again. Hopefully we'll get a nice stream of planes Avsimmers have flown on. Also, try and stick to one picture per post, just to keep things easy to read. I'll start: United 777-200ER N77006 as flight United 2012 from San Francisco to Newark:

    Here's some pics I took whilst loading an Aer Lingus A321 NEO the other day. This aeroplane does a daily trip from Manchester to JFK which departs around lunchtime from the UK. It comes back to the UK to arrive at about 6:15 am: In this pic we have it all zipped up and are getting ready to push it out: This is taken from the rear bulk hold looking out past the railing of the belt loader, to the big high-loader which is at the main rear cargo door to load the ULDs: This is the A321 NEO's forward cargo hold prior to loading the ULDs. The Airbus NEO has additional floor locks to hold the cargo cans in place, you can see one of these red additional l…
