Your unkown #1 is a Middle East Airlines A-330, coming from or flying to Beirut ... likely it was flying to/from CDG or LHR

@C_J : sure it's an A321?

C_J · Post by **C_J** » 02 Aug 2007, 11:48

Not a 100% of course

But regarding the shape of the fuselage and the winglets, I should think so!

And the Saudi Arabian is not a 400-series, probably a 300.

Ok some good shots ilpavone2004.

But may I remind you to one specific forum rule, which I suppose you didn't read. But that ain't a problem as I'll repeat it for you: maximum width of pictures = 800 pixels.
No next time please scale them a bit down, but keep your stuff coming

.

Hope to start making shots in the near future. Right now, the disturbing heat waves poses blurry pics, so I rather watch them.

It's not a China Airlines but a Air China Airbus A340-300

Unknow 2 don't look like a Freebird. I think that the tail look like a sort of flower, not a bird..

@ ilpavone2004

Unknown 2 is Airbus A321 of Air Mediterranée (F-GYAQ).
Here is a picture of this aircraft. And his tail looks like the tail on your pic.

An Edelweiss is not possible. Edelweiss doesn't own a A321 and the first part of the fuselage of an Edelweiss is red painted.
