Hi.

Now that summer has started, it is hard for us to make good shots during the day, so the morning and the evening are the best times of day to get the clearest photos.

Heres my collection:

1/6/07
SVA904 KIAH-EBBR UM140

WOA8285 KJFK-EBBR UM140

GEC8187 KORD-EDDF UM140

2/6/07

AAL172 KJFK-EBBR UM140

Great shot CW.

In my area the CLX airplanes have in summer mostly no contrails. I see these airframes sometimes up to half a dozen a day, outbound ELLX mosly overhead which give a relative loud noice on its climb. So when I hear inside my home a plane at high altitude, its mostly a 744 of CLX.

Meanwhile the smokey skies returned for a whole week now, typical with easterly winds, so also no joy in morning or evening. With some thundery skies in the outlook, things won't improve next couple of days.

Hope to see this frame one day, but than of course with contrail: contrail aviation.

Hi,

Some good weather over the last few days but aircraft only making very faint contrails if at all as of yesterday. Also visibility and Radiation are still a major problem.

Some photos from 5/6/07
USA750 - KPHL-EBBR UN20

KLM743 EHAM-SPIM UN20

NAO50 KBWI-ETAR UM140

DAL2 EGKK-KJFK UM140

Apache Helicopter

I am informed by other topics in the forums that 3 new airlines are planned to operate between Brussels and the USA:
- Northwest (757)
- Skyservice (757)
- Jet Airways (777 and A330)

Am I right about these new services or are they just rumours? I am almost 100% sure about Northwest but not sure about the other two

Hi everyone !!

I've seen this nice bird on Sunday 17/06 above CRL. It was heading west/south-west around 5:00pm.

I'm 99,9% sure it's a ANA Boeing747 but I would like to ask your help for the registration of the plane, if possible. My guess is JA8096 or JA8956, what's yours ?

Many thanks for your attention and ... sorry for the poor quality of the picture.

Best regards, Seb.

Skystef · Post by **Skystef** » 21 Jun 2007, 15:37

Picture is not that bad Loutri666, I can inform you it was JA8958.
Don't hesitate to upload more and ask for regis.

Hello Ilpavone2004,

This first imagine of you isn't a A330 it is a A320 of Lotus Air
Look at this pictures http://www.airliners.nl/images_NEW/0906 ... SU-LBG.jpg ( I haven't make that picture) the round thing at the tail looks the same on your picture as at this picture.

Sow your first picture is: A320 of Lotus Air

Thanks Tangolima...i corrected my post...

Skystef · Post by **Skystef** » 29 Jun 2007, 18:36

Only one addition from my side this month, mainly due to persisting unsettled weather conditions.

In general I do not like non contrailing shots, but with a Moon bit special.
