Thanks Gavin and yes I am always willing to go get a plane. This happened to be the inaugural so I had to get a photo! Happy 4th!

Thank you Gavin. It had rained for sure and it was still overcast and warm. The city is only 5K from Logan Airport.

Great photo how did you take it with your camera?

Thanks! Did you know, the F-35B photo and this one were taken only 30 minutes apart? Crazy how the weather can change so fast!
Written on 03/07/2020 by Joan Williams
Yes a lot has changed since the Harrier! Thanks for the comment.

I believe this is the new "fly-in movies" that started up this year!

Also hope the radome is off so you're not getting RF cooked!!
Ahh...this is your captain speaking, ahh... if you smell burnt chicken, no cause for alarm, the engines just sucked up a few birds, ahh... the in flight movie is...

NIMROD!
Written on 03/07/2020 by Joe Pacheco
Also yes you are correct they retired the NIMROD.
Also RAF bought into the RC-135 V/W RIVET JOINT PROGRAM and I believe we added 3 tankers to the RJ fleet.
When this baby hits 88 mph, you're going to see some serious..

The aircraft had arrived from India via Singapore on a repatriation flight bringing home 269 Australian citizens during Covid-19 restrictions. All passengers were escorted to a city hotel for a mandatory 14 day quarantine and reportedly, no complaints, just happy to be home.

I don’t know if this was empty on departure or if it had some cargo on board, and again, dealing with smoke haze on an almost still morning.

While waiting for the arrival of Cathay Pacific’s B777, this taxied out for take-off and is standing at Bravo 2 holding point for runway 23. Hadn't been able to get these shots before - invested in a new ladder!

That’s so pretty! Keep good work taking pics of airplanes!

This is Cathay Pacific’s Sunday only, cargo only HKG-SYD-ADL-HKG flight during Covid-19 restrictions. Until this flight, B777s were used so this was a nice surprise and as well, that A350-1000s don’t normally operate into Adelaide. A fellow photog said it was only the second time.

We’re in winter and with the sun at its most northerly, with this arrival time, landing shots from the north-east (onto Rw 23) are shadow side unless you can access the terminal. The terminal had been closed to non-travellers because of a cluster of coronavirus cases breaking out among Qantas baggage handlers early in the pandemic. From news reports, the terminal is open again but with only three commercial venues operating.
Taken on Nikon D850, Sigma 100-400 @ 100 mm, 1/500 @ f8.
WOW!

Wrong location selected! One of these flights had departed downwind in similar light breeze a couple of weeks before so I opted for the location for a runway 23 take-off. Of course, this time the take-off was from 05 and I had to settle for a going away shot.
Written on 02/07/2020 by Gavin Hughes
We’d experienced some still or very light breeze mornings which resulted in smoke haze settling across the plains. This morning was one and the sun is just making its presence known through the haze.
Taken on Nikon D7500, Sigma 100-400 @ 400 mm 1/500 @ f8.
It had been raining overnight and showers were forecast and they arrived. Given the conditions I opted for runway 05 for at least a taxiing shot and tried a few as it took off - they turned out better than I thought they might. Taken on Nikon D7500, Sigma 100-400, this shot at 250 mm 1/400 @ f8.

It had been raining overnight and showers were forecast and they arrived. The was the location. Given the conditions I opted for runway 05 as at least there would be a taxiing shot if it rained, but the take-off shots, even though going away, turned out to be reasonable, and certainly more spectacular. Taken on Nikon D7500, Sigma 100-400 lens @ 130 mm, 1/400.

Yea, my favourite annual TV show. Pity it wasn't on this year because the songs seemed to have been better than the last couple of years.
Written on 02/07/2020 by Gavin Hughes
Great atmosphere John - looks cold but if this new, judging by weather reports I see from up your way, that may not be the case. Happy 4th to you.
Written on 02/07/2020 by Gavin Hughes
What a great pic Steve. Always like your work of course, but then some planes, some light, add that little bit extra such as this.
Written on 02/07/2020 by Gavin Hughes
Love wet weather pics Dwight, they have great atmosphere when done well. Like the photo info too, always interested in how folks make their shots. Happy 4th to you.

I use to own N3727V BE-77. My favorite plane ever. Most fun to own and fly until it was drown by the Nashville flood of May 2010! Sat underwater for 7 days. Yikes! I wish I could find another. Take care and enjoy every minute you fly N6007T....

I like that FFT is putting the names on the aircraft now (when they paint on the new livery).

Congrats on getting an increasingly rare catch of an "old" Frontier schemebird, Dwight. Full five ...
Ah, that could explain a lot. Thanks for your response.
Written on 02/07/2020 by Dwight Hartje
EXCELLENT 5 * capture here, Dwight. The reflection of the h/lights on the wet surface adds a couple of + + to this snap. Clicks like this with the h/l reflections aren't very common because most photogs won't go out when the wx isn't perfect. You are one of the few who will go out no matter the weather conditions, time of day or night, etc., to get the unique clicks. Bravos. (Tip of my photog cap to you.)

Hi, Dwight. TY for the compli. And I've just been contacted and told that VT-ALO was actually in storage in Bombay for quite a while. Not confirmed, but one guess is that Air India might have put it back in Active status when the virus caused the severe reduction in passenger traffic. Perhaps AIC decided to fly the fewer pax in an old equipment bird until the virus crisis subsides and then put it back in storage. That's just a guess. Anyway, it was neat to capture an Air India paint. (Wave)

Fantastic overview shot of SFO, man! SFO is a special airport to spot at and defiantly on my bucket list of airports to visit.
Written on 02/07/2020 by Dwight Hartje
Great shot! Yeah, this was one of the early 777-300ER delivered sometime around 15 years ago.
