Hi there!
I’m a newbie here but I know some of you. Maybe we even pass each other at Cazaux Spotterday or for the A380 maiden flight 😉
Let me introduce myself : I’m an aviation enthusiast (what the hell I’m doing here?! :p ) and I work in the aviation industry in Toulouse. I’m practicing photography and I would like to share some of my pics with you.
So what about a little diary here, with pictures from Toulouse : deliveries, flight tests, exclusive shots, some surprises, etc…?
Let’s startwith what could be called a real beauty!
The special “Orchids” A330-300 was delivered to China Airlines on friday last week. Hope you’ll like it!
Are 1024pix wide pictures ok for you guys? Do you prefer thumbnails?

Steph,
The pictures on this thread are, by any standard, excellent.
But this is now a very large thread indeed and could cause performance/bandwidth issues for some users.
Would you mind starting a new thread for 2008?
Thanks

Thanks!
What engines are on the China and Hainan A330’s ? They look like over-sized RR’s…
Rolls-Royce Trent700 engines.

By the way, you can have a slightly better view on what came in front of my photo lens by downloading and playing my slideshow.
It’s here : Airliners2007
(or through my PhotoBlog http://www.konnek-t.com/dotclear/index.php/2007/10/06/90-retrospectives )
It runs on PC (.exe), it’s 100% virus-free, almost 90% fat-free (A380 inside!:p ) and is 4min long.

Every single shot you post, Steph, is amazing. You really know how to take a good photo. I can’t wait to see more additions to the Toulouse diary!
By: T5 - 31st January 2007 at 20:43
Excellent shots, Steph.
My attention has been drawn to the China Eastern A330 though, posted some months ago. After my trip on one a week and a half ago, it has sentimental value. :p
By: PMN - 31st January 2007 at 20:14
If I could describe those shots in words, I would. Unfortunately I can’t, so for the moment all I can say is WWOOOOWW!!

It’s me again. It’s been pretty calm here these days, and the weather was not so fine. In addition to the fact that I was a little bit diverted from the flying things, I don’t have many shots to show you.
Nevertheless, weather permitting, there are still some things to do around the runways! 😉
Playing with colors, for example…
