The Amazing 'Visit Abu Dhabi 2012' A333 A6-AFA @ MAN !

Today we got a nice treat, on a perfect day ! The Special Etihad A330-300 operated the normal afternoon service, and we for a run in the test bay. With the temperature around 20 degrees again today, both the weather and subject were great ! Also in was the brand new Brussels Dash-8, operated by Fly-Be.

London Heathrow - March 2012 - ZK-OKQ

Took a trip down to LHR to catch the All Blacks B777-300 as full sun all day was forecast.. However upon arrival we were greeted with thick fog and up until 10 mins before the NZ B773 arrival you could not seen aircraft landing infront of you ! However we got very lucky, and here is the shot !

More photos on Trips 2012 from this day !

Football Traffic @ MAN + Some usuals..

Today had mostly cloudy all day forecast, however with a few added football flights I decided to head down anyway, and luckily almost everything landed in perfect light during the morning, however it clouded over during the afternoon in time for the last of the traffic.

Also caught today were a few of the regulars...

The KLM Retro was a great treat, being the best photo I have taken of it yet, and the best photo for me of the day.

The usual Finncom in great light once again !

Special titles promoting "Lu"...
