I decided to give the ‘B Team’ a run out today, so all of these images were captured with my trusty old 350D and the mighty Sigma 80-400 OS zoom – with mixed results.




Enjoy…. 😀

Nice takes. is the ETOPS writen on the front of the US 757 for passenger reassurance?:D Had the 330 gone tech again?
Most, if not all American ETOPS aircraft have it painted on the outside. Don’t know why though:confused:
The A330’s are tied up on heavy maintenace checks and painting at the moment. They have been replaced by TWO 757’s. Things should be back to normal at the end of the month so get ’em while they are hot

It’s unusual for 23L to be used for arrivals unless there is a problem with 23R. I’m sure it is only a VOR/DME approach to 23L and no ILS and autoland capabilites.

Great shots, US 757 is the pick of the bunch for me!

Nice shots, I was there today. Do they use 23L for landings a lot? First time i seen it with my own eyes, another thing do you know what was up with the US Airways 757? I think it was going to go out but it came back?
