Real Aviation Photos

took this last saturday ....

The abovementioned air show took place on Saturday 14th June at London Biggin Hill Airport. The weather wasn't the best for photos but I got a few decent ones. P-51D: B-17G Flying Fortress "Sally-B": Spitfire Mk IX: Messerschmitt Bf109: Trig Aerobatic Team in Pitts Specials: and finally... The RAF Red Arrows. A pity the clouds came back over to make a rather murky evening.

On a late Friday afternoon, back in April 2003, I had the chance to attend a guided visit to Brussels Airport old Tower. Excellent view over the A pier and it's old apron, and the 02/07R runway intersection. On top of that, 02/07R was in use for landings/take offs. This Sobelair B767 was being pushed back for starting its overnight flight to Johannesburg, South Africa. I stumbled upon these pictures yesterday evening and wanted to try out this popular technique called Tilt Shifting. Albeit, post processing it in my photoshop program. Very first test... I like it. But there is room for improvement...

While I was trying out my new Nikon P520 yesterday, I heard a plane in the distance, zoomed (waaaay) in, and snapped this. I'm not sure what exactly it is. Anyone know?

Some pictures I took on our mini vacation to Las Vegas over Thanksgiving week. Images are large so I did NOT link via image reference nor Attach, direct link to my web site: http://robainscough.com/images/6c3d33e209c10d1c077f972622aef439.jpg http://robainscough.com/images/43bbc1c26a59f054d6377741f98eefca.jpg http://robainscough.com/images/99a3b13a6734d1c83de5a8029d0c9869.jpg http://robainscough.com/images/0c7b40a9db92d3f4ca08df4b72df7dd3.jpg http://robainscough.com/images/b86204d2323ec39620c4438d2f0d5b8c.jpg http://robainscough.com/images/829cc8602cd26834b04d5737fd0f1829.jpg http://robainscough.com/images/f9a9283f2fe9a20acd178ef44faca85…

Just a shot outside my office taken with my phone of the boss comming into Vegas

Just a couple shots from this summer - the sky was smooth as glass... Regards, Scott

I thought I checked "Disable FSX haze layer" before I went flying!

Was headed to Dubai from Afghanistan.

I've been on a month long vacation touring the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, and Southwest. I come home tomorrow, the 29th, and a few days ago had the chance to take a GC Heli flight. Here are some pictures of that wonderful flight---enjoy! Cactus

Hi Guys, A few shots from the last ever RAF VC10 sortie from RAF Brize Norton yesterday VC10 K3 ZA147 + ZA150 RAF Brize Norton 20.09.13-1 by jonf45, on Flickr VC10 K3 ZA147 RAF Brize Norton 20.09.13-1 (2) by jonf45, on Flickr VC10 K3 ZA147 + ZA150 RAF Brize Norton 20.09.13-4 by jonf45, on Flickr VC10 K3 ZA150 + ZA147 RAF Brize Norton 20.09.13-1 by jonf45, on Flickr VC10 K3 ZA150 + ZA147 RAF Brize Norton 20.09.13-5 by jonf45, on Flickr VC10 K3 ZA150 + ZA147 RAF Brize Norton 20.09.13 by jonf45, on Flickr VC10 K3 ZA147 RAF Brize Norton 20.09.13-1 by jonf45, on Flickr VC10 K3 ZA147 RAF Brize Norton 20.09.13-13 by jonf4…

A friend sent this to me. Interesting bit of history of early aviation! Every so often, usually in the vast deserts of the American Southwest, a hiker or a backpacker will run across something puzzling: a large concrete arrow, as much as seventy feet in length, sitting in the middle of scrub-covered nowhere. Turns out it is part of the early Transcontinental Airmail Route. On August 20, 1920, the United States opened its first coast-to-coast airmail delivery route, just 60 years after the Pony Express closed up shop. There were no good aviation charts in those days, so pilots had to eyeball their way across the country using landmarks. This me…

Love this plane. -P50andPilot

AMAZING.

Just thought I'd share a few images I got of my trip to Dubai onboard Emirates A380-861 A6-EEG (only 1 month old at the time) routing MAN-DXB! Boarding! Pushed back. Flaps retracted and taxing, they are huge and noisy! These wings are also built here in the UK about 30 miles from Manchester! Almost at 23R, behind a BA 320. And up we go! This aircraft really does catch the wind! The M6 motorway just below the wing as we had out towards Warrington before the big right turn to head East. The Cabin. Enjoying an episode of Top Gear whilst watching the onboard camera! The touch screen remote, which also doubled up as a way of…

Hi, A few from the field from at Myrtle Avenue on Saturday afternoon, weather was decent for the most part but the sun did a disappearing act on a couple of annoying occasions! Was nice to get the returnig BA Dreamliner, AeroMexico/Skyteam 767 and the Iberia A330 :smile: B737 SP-LLC London Heathrow 03.08.13 by jonf45, on Flickr A319 EC-JXV London Heathrow 03.08.13 by jonf45, on Flickr B767 XA-JBC London Heathrow 03.08.13 by jonf45, on Flickr A300 D-AEAR London Heathrow 03.08.13 by jonf45, on Flickr B767 G-BZHA London Heathrow 03.08.13 by jonf45, on Flickr A320 EI-EZV London Heathrow 03.08.13 by jonf45, on Flickr A330 E…

Still getting to grips with a new camera but I had a day of fun (and burnt my bald spot...). These have been shrunk as they were going into another forum but I've been having difficulty posting recently so I thought I'd experiment here while I had them handy. The world's fastest helicopter. The pilot was in his heaven finding as many unlikely attitudes as he could. The world's fastest helicopter in its new clothes: This looks like it's sole purpose is to spread death. A 'classic British icon' to most people younger than me but I went through my transition from comfortably ignorant child to (comfortably ignorant) adult at the depth of th…

I'm lazy, post is here.

Airbus's new baby, "yet another photo" http://www.airliners.net/photo/Airbus-Industrie/Airbus-A350-941/2290606/&sid=e374157135ce0681d9ec0e4a25d0b19f I could've sworn Southwest had retrofitted all of there 737's with blending winglets by now, guess I was wrong! http://www.airliners.net/photo/Southwest-Airlines/Boeing-737-3H4/2290581/&sid=e374157135ce0681d9ec0e4a25d0b19f

Hi, Had a cracking day at Schiphol at the start of the month, only did the obsevation platform, but got some nice ones all the same. Heat haze made photographing the far stuff rather awkward, and we only got a few freighters, but you cant have everything!! Glad to have got a couple KLM MD-11s before they retire too MD-11 PH-KCK Amsterdam Schipol 05.06.13 by jonf45, on Flickr B737 PH-BXA Amsterdam Schipol 05.06.13 by jonf45, on Flickr A319 JY-AYL Amsterdam Schipol 05.06.13-1 by jonf45, on Flickr A319 G-EZGB Amsterdam Schipol 05.06.13 by jonf45, on Flickr B777 PH-BVD Amsterdam Schipol 05.06.13 by jonf45, on Flickr B777 B-2080 Am…

Fabulous day today, sun shining and great displays form the likes of the Red Arrows, Britling wing walking teams , Typhoon, and red Bull teams I want to point out im not a photographer i borrowed a 7D cannon and a 100-400 lens for it and just shot some stuff!

I just recently got done a dream trip of mine.. Taking a train cross country.. I went from Philadelphia to Seattle (and stayed a week) via the Cardinal, and then Empire Builder. Then Seattle to LA via the Coast Starlight and stayed a week and then back home to the Philly area via the California Zephyr and Cardinal... Best trip of my life... While in Washington State one of the first things I wanted to see was the Pacific Ocean.. The easiest place to get there from my hotel in Tacoma was Ocean Shores.. Anyone who knows the area also knows one of the most popular Orbx airports is on the way to Ocean Shores and I couldn't resist stopping in and having a burger.. Quaint l…
