Photos of the day

I’ll be buggered if anyone here has tried to pretend it was one of their’s when it wasn’t.

Oooh – I’d invest in some armoured trolleys if I were you!!!! I’m pretty sure I remember that very thing happening at least once.

Anyway, I only asked what people thought

I don’t see a problem personally, a.net pics are clearly identfiable and I’ll be buggered if anyone here has tried to pretend it was one of their’s when it wasn’t.

No – if I were the selfish type I wouldn’t share as many of my own pictures with you all, would I now?

But they are mine to share!

Anyway, I only asked what people thought – so lighten up yourself. :p

Ok, ok. :p 🙂

What’s wrong with sharing? or are you the selfish type?

Plus, posting links is better because then the views count for that picture. This is correct.

Lighten up man! If you had took any attention before having a moan, you would have seen the copyright is quite clearly intact on the bottom of the photos.

Bandwidth isn’t being wasted by me posting the links, if I were posting the pics as attachements on the other hand…..

I can understand posting our own pictures – you’ll be amazed to learn – but I can’t for the life of me see the point of posting links to pictures we haven’t taken ourselves.

Are there intellectual property and/or copyright issues here?

What do you think?

Then why is it necessairy to extend the runway?
Concorde has V1 at 180 knots and rotates around 200 knots at MTOW :eek:! But it can approach at a good landing weight at 140-150 knots, slightly faster than a 747.

It is still too short to comfortably operate the bigger widebodies on long-haul flights non-stop. Those 400m would make all the difference for the time being.
A couple of years ago we had European 742s doing flights to Sanford.
They had to make a tech stop in Gander on the outbound flight due to ‘runway limitations’.
Currently it is only long anough for 747s to New York and around that area.

How was concorde able to land and take off at Edinburgh? That must have been really tight!

Not at all! The runway is still about 8400ft.
AF can get their A340s off of SXMs 7000ft runway direct to CDG!
Concorde was only ‘popping’ down to LHR more often than not so was very light. Climbed like a fighter jet! Used no more than half the runway.

The rail isn’t such a problem in Edinburgh. It’s more the hills behind it that blocks expansion. The rail isn’t such a big problem – tunnels are easily dug.

Actually it is, because the railways have to be flat and can’t have an incline it would need major re-routing.
Although apparently there is anough room for up to 400m expansion just now with the railway where it is, and the M9 at the other end.

Here you can see the B*****d railway line preventing easy expansion of EDI’s runway!

You can tell why Newcastle have got to extend the other end of the runway 😀

WOW u no ur stuff

That isn’t a contrail, because contrails are only visible 50-100 meters after the engine (depending on the type). Here the aircraft is probably flying in a humid area. I can’t explain this effect completely, but it isn’t a contrail.
There are contrails however. As you may know, fuel contains under others Hydrogen (H) and Carbon (C). The Hydrogen, which is a connection of two atoms (=H2), undergoes a connection with O2, which we breathe. The waste product of burning Hydrogen is H2O. But, for example, H2+O2 doesn’t connect. You therefore need 2H2+O2, which creates: 2H2O. This is called a reaction equotation.
Because our engines aren’t running on pure Hydrogen, this equotation does not apply to this system. However, this is what makes contrails. The water that comes out of the engines is still in the aggregation state of gas. When it is exhausted from the engine, it quickly cools down from the very hot inside of the engine to normal temperature. Very small parts of water (or ice) make a cloud. Contrails are actually just clouds. Because the parts are so small, they don’t drop to earth. There is of course other crap exhausted from the engine, but we don’t see that because it isn’t present at a big quantity and has other boil and melt temperatures.
Tried to explain it my best, if you ahve further questions about this chemistry, feel free to PM me.

Neat photos! The contrails and heat haze are very well captured.

Am I the only one who gets a white box in the top left hand corner of the page whenever I view photos on jetphotos.net?

You are not the only one! I get swamped with pop ups weneber im in jetphotos! good shots!

Yes I have to agree with MEA380 on the 747 contrails, they are superb, and the flybe heat haze is just amazing!

the 747 contrail is really fantastic, amazing !!!

All 3 of them are fantastic.
