I think planes are further apart than they look in this photo< but too close for comfort< nonetheless!

That's exactly I felt. The truth is it was very foggy morning in Los Angeles on the day of this photo

Thanks Gavin! This is a composition merging a series of 3 images. Definitively not during Covid time.

EMB110 Bandeirante turboprop cockpit. No autopilot. No flight director. No flight management system. Just mental arithmetic. This shot even captures the extensive overhead panel.

Yes Sir...got a few hours in one of these "NO SPIN" sweeties! My dad left the lock on the sliding canopy once and wanted to open it so I could reach out and retrieve it! Well, being young and stupid I was to afraid to open it for I thought I would fall out. Wow, how time flies by. That must have been some45-50 years ago!

N444X is a V-Tail (BE35) Beech Bonanza. NOT a Cessna Skylane! The picture is not of a Skylane and the picture clearly is for a different plane. (N444FX)

Such improvements over previous aircraft were incorporated into B-29’s .
Good to see the pilots were at least social distancing!

Okay, thanks Stuart! I was in Anchorage briefly last July. I'll try to get further north up to Fairbanks next time. Who knows when that might be...

Thanks Gavin - Unfortunately I didn't know it was coming until it had arrived, but still great to capture such a rare movement.

Is this called a ghost flight? Looks like something out of the movie "Airplane" in the opening credit's.

This is the departure of the 4th once weekly SIA cargo only flight into and out of Adelaide but this shot shouldn't have happened.
Written on 29/05/2020 by Gavin Hughes
The wind was 8 knots from slightly west of north normally dictating runway 05 ops. A Fokker 50 had landed just minutes before this on 05 and group had gathered for the A359 departure expecting a 05 take-off.
The jet pushed back, tail to the north-east as expected but when it entered the taxiway it turned for runway 23 instead of going down to 05. All of us got stranded in the wrong place and the best shots were only ground shots.
They say you can choose your friends but not your family. Well that can apply to aviation photography, where you can choose your location but you can't choose the rotation spot and in this case it just had to be with a tree between the plane and me!
Written on 29/05/2020 by Gavin Hughes
This is the departure of the MASKargo flight that had arrived less than two hours before and in the meantime, the wind direction had changed making the duty runway 05 from 23 when it landed.
This is more favorable by not having to go to the opposite side of the airport, but with a relatively short take-off run, the rotation was far back enough to still be caught with some heat haze and that tree being in the way.
I'd intended going out to get some practice with two new lenses and hadn't noticed this on FA arrivals until after I'd printed the list (which these days isn't very long!) so it was a nice surprise.
Written on 29/05/2020 by Gavin Hughes
I was told there had been another MASKargo flight a couple of weeks earlier but it had been at night so maybe MAS are doing semi-regular flights here but that's only speculation.
For those who like to know...this was at 0900, and as you can see, the weather wasn't bright, plus this was about 3/4 mile from my photo spot. Taken on a Nikon D7500 with a Sigma 100-400 mm lens @ 400 mm.
Those planes were fun to fly on.

Super shot of one of the true masterpieces of design and engineering.

For Frank Theriault, De Havilland designed another similar looking fighter, the DH103 Hornet which was based on the Mosquito and using techniques learned from the Mosquito. The story on Wikipedia is worth a read.
Mike and Brian...This particular aircraft did crash and was destroyed November 27, 2008.

What I didn't realise when I made my comment was that ANZ had (at least) another one, ZK-OJO, which was the one that visited here in '07. I got pics of the 'other' side of OJO and the livery was the same as this one.
By 2015, OJO was in the white with blue tail ANZ livery and by 2018, in the new white/black livery.

Thanks Darryl. We don't normally get Lion aircraft here so it was a rare moment for us. The best we got was Lion subsidiary, Malindo using B738s. Hopefully one day, they'll be back.

Great stuff Caleb - you're a lucky man to have such visitors AND to know about them coming/going.
