Returning from well deserved holidays which I spent in the northern part of Germany, now I´m identifying the planes which passed over me. Many SAS (MD80s !) and Norwegian instead of the usual Easy Jets, Air Berlins and Ryanairs, some Spanish and JAPANESE :D .
Her are a few:
Attachments
Air Bridge Cargo B747 VP-BIK. I really like these colours.

It´s nearly impossible to get a good picture of ZZ330 in the air, because of the dull colour, the only good shot I could manage was when it was standing on the apron at Hannover ;)
Nice Aerosvit !

BIZ might be something like a Learjet 45.

Hi Guys. This is my first post, and I'm fascinated by this 'contrail spotting' Until recently, I was working as an Operations Controller at STN. Medical reasons forced me to bring my 25 year aviation career to an end. With more time on my hands, I enjoy spotting the high flying traffic. Luckily for me, being located just outside Cambridge in the UK, there is plenty of contrail traffic to be seen. I'm really impressed by the pics on here. I love sitting in my garden, equipped with high power binoculars, my Icom scanner, and my iPad using Flightradar 24. Looking forward to seeing more of these pics. :D

Why not? ;) But always you can write about interesting aircraft that you saw over your area. Something like rare type/livery.
