Nice photos guys. I have also noticed conditions are still quite hazy, probably due to relative humidity - around 60% here. But they are slowly improving. Heres my catch of the weekend:


TAP511 (routing over here because of French ATC)

KLM744 PH-BQI
Image

unknown C-17 heading west

Any idea on this one???
