Spotting station

Sorry, no airliners... Just two of my most favourit sound machines photographed this week. The sun was shy though.
Barely anything beats the rumble of a Tornado in full burners.

Loved these litte Scooters ever since we were on exercise with them. Amazingly big sound for such a small aircraft.
Sundog returning to base..

Today with some sun. And it's an airliner, kind of...
XL6 arriving from Finkenwerder

Would have wished for the XL to arrive 15mins later, but I shouldn't complain as weather, time, location and my time budget rarely ever go together...

Amazing beyond words! Nice to see an artistic image of a very unusual looking plane.

Thanks. One of those "must do" images I had in my head for years. While the timing wasn't 100% perfect - 15mins later would have been awesome - the weather was just perfect that day with high clouds and rapidly building ground fog for sunset.
We only get the Beluga maybe once a week and at totally random times. To see it just in time with an ok sunset azimut and these weather conditions is pure luck. I should add that we had dense fog all day long just a few miles west..
I'm so glad I made it as chances weren't big to ever x off this image from my list.

Let me add this one even though my lens was slightly long so that I clipped the tail.
I definitely prefer the artsy over the usual spotting stuff

And for those who are into helicopters...

The best looking A220 anywhere in the world.

VH-X4A leaving Melbourne Tullamarine on my last day there back in March when I was down there for the 2025 edition of the Avalon Airshow.

And a great opportunity to showcase how off-white Delta's white really is

For color referencing/scale modeling snow in pictures is perfect, but it's not really the type of weather I like.
I recently used the cold days to sort through some of my older holiday pictures.
Here's one from 2011 showing an Airberlin A319 passing over Potokaki/Pythagorio beach on a short final. Was a perfect fit for the 15mm lens.

Gorgeous! I'd love to visit Greece someday...
