Hello at all!

My 2nd hobby are aircrafts. So I decided to go to the Frankfurt's International Airport for spotting

Please read the guidelines with regards to image sizes and whole of post sizes thanks.

Nice images there.
If you did this in Australia you probably would have been arrested or interrogated for taking photos of aircraft near our airport.
If you take pictures in this country of airports or factories you are a suspected terrorist.

:cheers?

Great images there, espescially the old Lufthansa bird, that thing still airworthy?

Ive posted these 2 in another topic but they may very well go into here also, have to get out to NZAA (Auckland Int.) in the near future, we have an amazing array of craft passing through day & night.

Like the Emirates A380 below, wifey was having lunch there at the lookout when that monster came in.

last week townsville media was invited up in a RAAF caribou to celebrate the aircrafts retirement, and also a lead up to todays skyshow.
they strapped us to the back and then opened the rear cargo doors to shoot another caribou trailing right behind us in formation, was a great experience.

Shame to see these wonderful warbirds go.

FA18 Showing his dirty bum.

And the noisy bits.

Just some Brisbane Airport shots


AIR NEW ZEALAND B777 off to AKL


QANTAS B747 off to LAX


ETIHAD A330 off to Abu Dhabi

Great that someone started up a spotting thread

Here are my contributions - Shot from the carpark of Jetcraft Aviation/TNT a couple of weeks ago.

(Viewing area is currently closed after 2pm due to civil works)

Just for future spotting reference, the new section of Airport Drive has been opened, and it basically takes you right up to Dryandra road, with a left turn and about 500m before turning right into Acacia street to the viewing area!



Congestion back on Airport Drive has been vastly reduced as well - Well done to BAC for footing the bill!

Went spotting at YSSY yesterday with Partner and kids in tow, she was a good sport looking after the kids and joining me on the beach while I did my Aviation nut thing as you do, the air was thick with the smell of Jet A1 and I was a happy camper!

Heres some of the lineup:

Air Austral (UU) Boeing 777-300ER





Qantas (QF) Boeing 767-300ER





Qantas (QF) Boeing 747-400 VH-OJQ



And caught by surprise whilst putting the kids into the car so apologies if the pic is not the best but I had to run to a spot to get this pic.

Emirates (EK) Airbus A380

Just to add on

Virgin (DJ) Boeing 737NG and Jetstar (JQ) Airbus A320 (A3Yuck)

love the work everyone keep it up

i really should park myself at the end of runway 01 one day trav and get some pix. you know that footy oval across from the base on ingham road? be right underneath. only problem is shooting back to towards the airport, the raaf base security people are onto you pretty quick.

Nice photos SkylineFFM.

The day I was in Frankfurt, it was great. However, I did fry like a schnitzel out on the observation deck.

Next time I travel to the UK, I will do another daytrip to Frankfurt.

Sydney and Auckland are also great airports, haven't been to Brisbane yet.

We don't get many exotic heavies here in Adelaide, but the last six months has seen a good supply of bizjets.

Pilatus PC-9 (RAAF Roulettes @ Whitsunday Airshow 2009)

Cockpit of the Pilatus PC-9 Roulette - I was lucky enough to start talking to one of the pilots when the crowds had left (I was volunteering on one of the gates to let aircraft in and out so I was about 4m from the runway)






De-Havilland DHC-2 Beaver

Bell UH-1 Huey







De Havilland Tiger Moth

Gday All,

Lismore was treated to an exhibition of Warbirds on Anzac Day. Went out to the Aerodrome to check out these impressive machines.

T-28 Trojan





The sound of this beast sent shivers down my spine......couldn't imagine what a squadron of them would sound like!

Yak 52





And this was a special treat.....an L-39 Albatross. Although this was only used as a training aircraft it still was impressive to hear the whine of the jet engines only 20m away. Unfortunately it didn't take off while we were watching but were lucky enough to arrive just in time for it to land. They were offering joyflights in this weapon at $1600 for about 10-15mins of flight time......not surprising it didn't take off in the hour we were there.





Hope you enjoy

Cheers Jason
