Whats the point of a college that does both when you can do your A-Levels at your local college and fly at you local airfield.

If you’d like to get away from home for a bit then I’d recommend a visit to Florida to do your PPL. 4 weeks in the Florida sun flying around all day can’t be beaten!

Great shots there ren!

Its a 10D your using isn’t it Ren?
You should be able to get them on to airliners.net no problem. If you shoot in large / fine jpg mode, use photoshop elements to (possibly crop a bit if needed), re-size to 1024 x 683 and add a little unsharp mask (not sharpen more).

Should get accepted no problem.

I flew on a bmi F100 a couple of years ago and found it great. If your near the front its fine, noise is a serious problem near the back but the front was good.

Look forward to seeing the A319 in bmi colours, should look very nice.

Should have known it was Kalitta, the aircraft comes in to EMA (20 miles away) before flying out to AMS! :rolleyes:

Thanks for the very detailled instructions, don’t mind a bit of a walk and sure we’ll find somewhere.
Only there for the day but I’m sure I’ll have a great time and hopefully get some good shots.

Thanks Again.

Great shots! I’m a particular fan of action shots so I have a few favourites.
Whats the 747 behind the KLM F70 taking off?

Could you post the directions to the runway spot if possible?
I’m heading over myself for photography on September 2, been before but stayed on the observation deck which is pretty poor for photos really, would like a few action shots this time!

On top of the viewing bit over by the Elmdon building. Up the spiral staircase on the right hand side of the building.

Sounds like you had a good day, I made a brief visit on Sat to get the Belavia (longer than planned as it was an hour late!

Wingflats – the SAS would have been a 737-600, pretty common at BHX I think, although theres an A321 in next weekend for the Liverpool v Villa game.

Heres the Belavia anyway.

The first one is NOT a fake!

It has been discussed before on a.net and said it is not fake. The aircraft is not retracting gear above the clouds, its simply about angles, the clouds are in the distance and look as though they are below the aircraft but are in fact a lot higher, its just the effect.

As for the Swiss posted by theplane, looks perfectly real, you get that kind of effect with a bright lit background and the aircraft being in the shade.

Take a look at this, same kind of effect, is this fake?
