Playing with my new camera: Local GA pics

Ok Roger! I’m looking forward to that! 🙂

Prepare for an egg shaking mission in Madrid Jochen, just found a 4th one to join the party. I’ll go booking soon now, maybe end of the week. BW Roger

LoL Moggy. Here we also call those things egg-shakers. 😉

Don’t often see the words ‘lovely’ and ‘R44’ in the same sentence :p

Thanks for the pics.

Moggy

Thanks Neal!

I know these pics aren’t perfect (yet). I think I shal need to find a better spot to take pics at this airfield. The planes are just flying too high when they pas the local group of spotters. I took that cub pic on the oposite side of the field.

Regards,

J.V.

Nice photos. I like the first shot of the Cub.

Neal

Did someone notice that I’m more experienced with historic aviation? 😮

Well, let’s make it a Rockwell then.

Greets,

J.V.

I knew you’d get it Roger 😀

Jochen that converted Islander is indeed a good looking one. This conversion, which is a very difficult one as all original Islander parts are removed/replaced is better known as the “Rockwell 690B Turbo Commander” :diablo: :diablo: :diablo:

BW Roger

Well it seems Islanders can be made to look attractive. The turboprops, winglets and paint scheme looks purposeful. That HR200 is a nice aeroplane by the way 😉

Wot camera have you got?

There is one thing I know for shure after my short experience with this camera: I got a very good zoom-lens which gives more options than my minolta. I can get better pics from a distance now. I also know I shall need to practice a lot more before I start to take RAW pics. But I still have good hopes that I shal be able to handle the camera a bit in time for LFA.

But it is an improvment for shure Roger!

Greets,

J.V.

Hi Jochen,

Are you happy with the gear so far? And is it an inprovement over the Minolta?

BW Roger

And to close the slide show:

1973 built Beech E90 N259SC.

Any comments are welcome and thanks for your time!

3. Robin OO-FBI 😎
4. Another Robin DR400-120 OO-TOY :p

OH NO! They have found me! 😮

Then some other local birds:

2. Piper Pa 28-140 Cherokee D OO-PRA
3. Beechcraft F33A Bonanza OO-JKM

We have everything here at EBKT! See this Lovely Robinson R44 Astro OO-LEX:

I wil not stop now! :diablo:

Here is another one: a local Robin HR-200-120B OO-SVK (previously PH-SVK)

After the departure of the Grumman came a nice little suprise. This was a Piper Cub OO-HBG. (does anyone know where this plane is based?)

Now some little planes:

Starting with:

OO-WAN, a local based Grumman American AA5.
