“Sigh”… I take it you were stood around the back of the Kyriad Prestige /Blue Marine for the Qatar and 707 shots?… Keep rubbing it in! π
No, I were on the Nationale 2, “Carrefour” on this map :

Looks like an interesting approach, windy day or just normal for this airport?
Normal approach on rwy 25 :
August 31th, 2006

It’s called “baΓ―onnette” in french, difficult to explain in english…
Ah the Lowa 707, the best look 707 flying.
Landing pics taken on August 6th, 2006, nice weather too :diablo:



Who currently runs the MRS-LBG-MRS Ciblex freighter contract nowadays? Last I heard it was the West Air Europe ATP’s, before going onto AN12s each night?
I heard that too but I don’t know.
Superb shots and quality!
Did you see G500 N551KF yesterday? It took off LBG at 11am and headed towards us at Luton. It only dropped off paper work and was in the air 15 minutes later, back to LBG!
I certainly saw it but I don’t remember, sorry π
Super pics! Lucky catch on the Qatar 345 – thats quite rare anywhere. Not that many shots of her about at present.
Hello, HHH at LBG :

Am I seeing things, or is that a 727 with winglets? AWESOME!l
Many 727s have winglets, pax, cargos, private, VIP… π
Unfortunately I’m back to Paris…
Nice shots there:cool: Is that an ex French air force 707 behind that 727?
Ex-FAF DC-8 F-RAFC.
How easy is it taking shots round LBG? I hear it’s a bit cloak and dagger….
Aircraft are not always parked well to make photos, and generally you need a ladder, however shoot through fences is possible sometimes.
Nice pictures but i think you’re getting a bit ahead with the date
You’re right lol It was August 5.
Allons enfants….!
What size lens was that?
… de la patriiiieuuuh π
300 mm but it’s a bit cropped. Montparnasse tower is not the best view point if you don’t have a big lens, anyway for eyes it’s nice π
Wow , very exotic birds at Orly , I also see many cranes in the background , are they expanding the airport?
It’s on the airport I think.
What’s the background on the SP.. was it delivered new.. or does it have substantial hours up via another or several airlines
