Once you start getting shots onto jp.net you’ll find it much more rewarding. I say that any free publicity is good publicity, and so planepictures.net is still worth it in that sense. But it takes a very interesting shot to get a decent number of views on pp.net, whereas jp.net gets a lot more coverage even with normal shots. The average views is around 350, and you can quite often reach above that.

A.net is worse than jp.net in that sense, average shots will not often get nearly as many views. But when you get an interesting one on a.net, the views can sometimes be astonishing!

My worst 2 commercial flight experiences were on three-holers (out of 84 flights in the past 10 years). They belonged to AOM, and we were flying to/from Havana to LGW. The main problem on the inbound flight was the broken air conditioning which wouldn’t turn off, and only a few lucky passengers requested blankets in time. The rest of us spent 9 hours shivering. Very poor crew and service, screaming kids, poor leg room and untidy aircraft. Ugh, never again.

However, my other three-holer experience was on a Delta MD-11 N813DE a few years back from LGW-ATL, and that was a very pleasent experience. No real IFE, but atleast it was tidy and we had a friendly crew.

There will be a weekly Calgary service on a Thursday, departing at 1505. Then a weekly Toronto via Montreal service on a Friday, departing at 0905.

Starting on 21st and 22nd July.

This could be my first chance to photograph them, on the Thursday service at some point in the next few weeks.

The EL AL flight does not operate to New York. It’s simply TLV-STN-TLV.

Great find!

Nice ones Wilag, 757’s always look great from that angle.

Great shots! What is the reg of the Britannia 757, I can’t quite make out the gear door? Thanks.

It’s BYAF, you can see it just above the cockpit.
