Can anybody provide me the reg of the Kalitta Air Cargo B747 that left EBBR between 4 and 5 PM?
I have it on photo, but can't read the reg (it was flying just over my head).

Thanks in advance.

Go to Topfoto and take each camera (plus lenses) in the hand. What camera feels better? What camera do you like? Never buy a camera that others mentioned you had to buy because of their experience if you don't like that particular camera. Everytime you hold that camera to take pictures, you get some ...

Holihooo...

I have a picture of the Virgin Nigeria that left EBBR on saturday.

I was at EBBR for a guided tour on the airport, and when the other members of our group were drinking coffee I was photographing some planes from the Wing Tips restaurant. I didn't know what I photographed, but this ...

Maar wat was er eerst, de luchthaven? of de huizen eromheen?

Dit lijkt weer een typisch kip-en-ei geval. De luchthaven was er eerst, die trekt mensen aan, mensen die in de buurt willen wonen (ook de uitbreiding van de grote stad in de buurt), en dan gaan ze klagen dat de luchthaven teveel hinder ...

If you want to have a high frame rate, you can buy the new Nikon D2H (8 frames per second, with a total of 40 frames). Drawback may be the price of about € 4000 (body only).

I've read some books of Stephen Coonts, where I found a lot of information about aircraft carriers. Some parts of the carrier (like the steam catapults, the all-day-living-on-board, the landing procedure) are very ...
