So far this year I have visited 71 airports/airfields (with [to date] 218 visits to Brussels when I've made a log) in 9 countries with 1 more of each to come - off to Almeria on Christmas Eve.

My total made so far (registrations not photographs) is 8700 (frames & scrapes). Obviously the US trip in April accounts for many of these but Brussels has been pretty good this year, too.

Favourite this year must have been Atlanta, staying in the Renaissance Hotel - just a perfect spotting enviromonment. - 10th floor, a balcony with warm sunshine and room service. What more could a spotter desire.

Least favourite experience - trying to read of nightstoppers at Strasbourg at 2 in the morning in sub-zero temperatures with snow on the ground whilst on the way to Zurich at the end of January for the World Economic Forum biz-jet fest. Zurich was worth the trip but the temperature never got above -6C all day!

Most aircraft seen in a day. Started at Tucson Intl (slight arrest but no real problem) flight to Marana, overflying D-M on the way - over 4000 seen.

If you want to see a full list it may take a while to type!
