Swiss CS100 MAN-ZRH in J with bonus go around! (with photos, full length video)

As soon as Swiss announced they'd be operating the CS100 from Manchester, I decided I had to book to get a ride on their new toy! A couple of weeks after delivery, I was able to get a seat for £100, and shortly before check in I got an email asking if I'd like to upgrade to business for an extra £80...

London Heathrow to Zurich with Swiss (including photos, full length flight video)

I decided it was time I got a ride on the increasingly rare Fokker 70. KLM are one of the last airlines in Europe operating them, and even they are phasing them out in favor of the Embraer 190. I noticed that on 30 January KLM were using the Fokker 70 in place of the E190 on both the Zurich to Amste...

Re: The unserved route of the week: Brussels-Glasgow

It takes about as long to get from Glasgow airport to Glasgow (with traffic) as it does to get from Edinburgh to Glasgow. It's a straight run down the motorway from EDI, and I guess there is more demand to EDI than GLA. I remember flying EDI-BRU on the BMI Regional ERJ145 some time ago, and the majo...

Hey great pictures Kostek, especially the EK A380! (will be on one of them on Saturday, wuhoo!)

Re: Contrail Spotting: First go but bit of a prob..Help Need

Hi there As a fellow newcomer with exactly the same setup (Skyliner 200P and Revelation 2x ED Barlow), albeit with Canon EOS450D, I thought I'd chip in with my experience :-) I've found the 'sweet spot' for focussing is very, very small - i.e. a couple of mm max for it to look badly out of focus.
