I think instead of saying ****-pit, you should just say cockpit
Does that AeroConder Shorts 360 actually move?
I’m certain I saw it taxiing last week, but can’t be sure?
Is there any other areas that are suitable for take-offs and landings?
The runways are ideal 😀
Ahem!!! 😡
Andy (airliners.net photo screener) 🙂
PS: we probably would reject your picture, but not for “stupid” reasons – 1. there are reflections from the window in the right hand side of the image (which could be corrected with a little careful use of photoshop or even more careful shielding of the front of the lens when you shot the picture), and – 2. noses are OK, but noses with the nose chopped off (if you understand what I mean) usually are not. What airliners.net demands is attention to detail, moreso than do the wannabe sites like JetPhotos and Planepictures. Once a photographer gets that message about real attention to the small details, if their basic image quality is OK (which your image has), they usually enjoy pretty high success rates on airliners.net
I’m not so sure about high success rates on Airliners.net. 9 out of 10 photos are viewed by more visitors to JetPhotos.net than they are at Airliners.net.
Another reason I tend not to bother with Airliners.net, aside from their choosiness, is the fact that everything about the website is money. What sort of a website charges people to use a discussion forum? :confused:
Number 6 is Glasgow again!
That AeroConder Shorts 360 is parked up the side of the runway, which seems like a slight giveaway.
A 757 this time? BA 757s don’t seem to common at Glasgow, so I’ll opt for a charter airline, maybe Thomas Cook?
Number 3 looks very much like a 737, perhaps a -300. I know for a fact from the “Babcock” building that its landing in Glasgow.
Is it easyJet?
I’d like to give it a go, but I find them much too choosy.
They seem to reject photographs for stupid reasons, that’s why I prefer JetPhotos.net. It’s in the screening queue, but since this was shot through a glass window, I’m not so sure that it will be accepted.
Nice shots.
When are they from?
I saw a 747-200 at Glasgow at lunchtime on Monday as I arrived from Heathrow.
Travel City Direct was in, but I wasn’t around to see it depart.
I’ve got a few plastic models in 1/200 and 1/250 scale:
Thai Airways 747-400
Excel Airways 737-800
Monarch Airlines A300
British Airways 747-400 (Chelsea Rose)
British Airways 767-300 (Scotland)
Airtours International A330-200
United Airlines 747-400
& more..!!
I stopped collecting them when I discovered Gemini Jets though. Don’t be ripped off by airlines charging £10 or more for a pile of plastic, when you can buy a branded, good quality model from ebay at the same price!
G-MIDM. Both in the old livery.
I flew G-MIDM on Monday.
Excellent shots, the ones of London are very nice! 😉
It’s an interesting website and the clips are put together perfectly. The music also works brilliantly.
Very nice.
I notice the steps going up to the Air France Concorde. Are the public allowed to go inside, because that aircraft doesn’t look too safe, balancing on just a few poles?
That SAS one is looking very nice indeed, but the Singapore Airlines seems to be wearing a somewhat “unofficial” Star Alliance Colour Scheme. I’m sure the titles were supposed to stretch over the entire side of the fuselage with the airlne logo just beneath.
Excellent…!!
That US Air Force 737-200 is interesting.
