Had a quick break with my girlfriend in Paris this week. Flew out of Manchester (EGCC) on a Ryanair 737-800 to Beauvais (LFOB), then got the bus/train into Paris, had some good fun there (including proposing to her, well, if you're gonna do it, Paris is the place eh? She said yes btw). Then back on the train to Paris Charles DeGaulle (LFPG) to board an Easyjet A320-200. Some pics, mostly of the aeroplanes and stuff. Note the Ryanair 737-800 NG using the forward airstairs, also note the Arabian military aerial refueling tanker taxying past us on the concourse at a very wet EGCC. You can also see our A320 and a Thomson B737 have both taxied across 23R/5L on the way to parki…

American Airlines donated this retired MD-80 (N491AA) to Oklahoma State University to be used as a living laboratory. It currently sits out at Stillwater Regional Airport. Here are a few images from back a few months ago when my Aerospace Structures class went out there. 20160906_095045_HDR by David Covarrubias, on Flickr 20160906_092027_HDR by David Covarrubias, on Flickr 20160906_085112_HDR by David Covarrubias, on Flickr Link to flickr album: https://flic.kr/s/aHskD8Nw2R

Hello, The Bourget started it's 2017 public opened days today, and I was there for the show. Unfortunately as always boeing is booing the public as it removed the 787-10 ANd 737MAX that were there for the business part of the show. So sad I could not see those birds even on static. Though Airbus did a bit the same this year with only the A380 in flight and that A380Plus in display. Unfortunately google would not let me do a galery with more than 500 pictures so they are two parts : https://goo.gl/photos/fU3bJJEHwWXyVW7bA https://goo.gl/photos/9UZqeAZw1xERsonu9 I've not a big reflex camera I'm not a good photograph enough to spend thousands of euros in …

Hello all! Today the first Lufthansa A350-900, D-AIXA, is going into service and is going to fly to New Delhi. Yesterday a special flight took place, from Munich to Hamburg and back, and I got tickets for this flight! Here a few photos I took! The tail cam is great!

Hi Had a day trip to Madrid on Thursday 18th of May, threatened with thunderstorms but only saw rain when we got back to the uk(shock!!) In fact it was so warm, the heat haze made photographing anything over the far side very difficult/completely pointless ;) A few pics: B787 N438AM Madrid Barajas 18.05.17 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr B747 EC-MDS Madrid Barajas 18.05.17-1 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr B737 OK-TSP Madrid Barajas 18.05.17 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr ERJ-145 EC-KSS Madrid Barajas 18.05.17 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr B787 EC-MMX Madrid Barajas 18.05.17-6 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr A319 EC-KHM + ATR 72 EC-LSQ Madrid…

As you guys really love flying in and out of LOWI.... here is the real thing from above: https://goo.gl/photos/E5F3Etw1CnMbwFyx9 https://goo.gl/photos/vDmu8ufio1z4muiX9 :-) Bad weather, all over Europe. But some good glances over the Alpes.

Hello. This morning, I was part of one of the four special flight Air France made for the introduction of it's first Boeing 787-900 that will start commercial operation tomorrow. The flight was from Paris CDG over Bretagne (West of France) and then back to Paris CDG. Unfortunately low clouds prevented us on this flight to really see the ground from up there, though we stayed quite low (15,000 feets for the whole flight). Well enough talk as this is a Picture forum. For those interested you can find a set of pictures, before, during the flight (even a few quick ones in the cockpit) and after. https://goo.gl/photos/TsAp4HBku1iEvjT19 Cheers!
