The Planespotter's PHOTO Thread...
What would a Travel Photography forum on a site called FlyerTalk be without a thread for photography of aircraft themselves? I'll start.
PHL - 6/3/08 Happy Planespotting to all, and happy viewing. |
Here are from my one poor attempt a year ago at IAH. Rest of the pictures here:

This shot was taken early morning April 29th on UA838 NRT to SFO. It was a Continental flight going somewhere else (EWR, IAH?). They were probably two thousand feet below our altitude and likely traveling with UA838 through the night. Just after this shot we turned southeast down the California coast.

It took me a double-take to realize that was two different photos and not an incredibly lucky shot you got. :D

I had to edit this to make an attempt (and a bad one at that) at saying something intelligent....I thought it was one shot too.

PHL back in January...

I really enjoyed seeing this HP/US plane and its antique paint at SFO a couple weeks ago. :o
[Thanks to MileageAddict for pointing out this is a A319, not a 737.] http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3227/...bd1a12afe1.jpg flickr |

:o Thanks, I'm rarely quite sure of what's what. A safety card in the seat back helps.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but Boeing 737s "always" have no winglets, or winglets that extend above the wing. Airbus A319/20/21 have "mini" winglets that extend above and below the wing. EDIT: A picture is worth a thousand words -- 737: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1049913/M Note A320 in background. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1360943/M A320: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1360587/M |

I look at the winglets (when available) for Boeing 737-x vs Airbus A319/20/21.

Wingtips? My favorite is the MD-11. Taken in June 1993 at NRT. More pics during the same IAD-EWR-NRT-HKG trip in this folder: http://rkkwan.zenfolio.com/p756590430

Great thread! I love the old photos.
See my link below, in my signature line ;) |
