    The other thing I’ll mention is that I’ve found that my camera has a grid overlay setting which really helps in keeping the pics level instead of looking like the aircraft are taxing/landing uphill or downhill as I found in my early shots, so if you have one on your Cannon which I’m sure you will then I would advise using it to help keep things level, which you don’t do a bad job of at all but it can save you time when taking the photo rather than “missing the moment” trying to get the level.

    I think you’re off to a cracking start. I can’t afford a Cannon yet and I’m using a FujiFinepix 6500FD with a 300mm lense and for what it is it does very well.

    This is when I first started using it

    Get yourself to grips with Photoshop because that will be your new best friend in photography.

    Keep up the good work

    Ahh very nice, always good to see outside the UK from the more unseen paets of the world.

    No. I believe its the summer Barbados flight.

    Thats the plan I think but I’ve seen 2 744’s in still of late so not sure when it will take over and become regular.

    Great shots. I think I must have slept through a milestone – “NWA GONE!!” when did that happen? I’m taking it that Delta have absorbed them?

    SAS Crj is very nice. Apparently they’re going to be regulars.

    Agreed and I hope they are.

    I really do respect Mr Branson, got his fingers in all the right pies and he ain’t brash about it, still a peoples man in my eyes.

    Judging by the initial flight party, I’m guessing the first flight run at a loss:diablo:

    I was under the impression that they were keeping indiviual airline colours. I’m sure that I read somewhere that G-OBYI was to be painted in FCA colours and reconfiged. Maybe I’m mistaken but I’m pretty sure it said “Ex TFLY 767-300 G-OBYI and First choice inthe same sentence.

    I think I’d rather risk peeing my pants than risk being thrown about like a rag doll in turbulance and achieving such injuries as a broken back/fractured vertibrae. I recently flew back from Spain encountering turbulance like never before and I never once dreamed of getting up, plus I had a baby stapped to me as well.

    Pee myself or take a risk…..hmmmmm
