Hi Everyone,

February is looking a lot more promising

We had very clear skies on Saturday, unfortunately i was working during the morning and could only watch them streak overhead but rushed home to catch a few afternoon shots. I was also after that Martinair MD-11 that DC10MD11 caught, but he flew too far south.

02/02/13:
DLH402 JFK-FRA FL340


CKS412 LEJ-WRI FL360


KLM255 AMS-ATL FL340


More clear skies forecast for tomorrow.

Regards,
James.

Hello,

after many wet days the weather calmed down with lots of sunshine today ; but unfortunately many pictures distorted due to air temperatures. Some fighter planes could be seen at high altitude,a pair of Eurofighters,a Tornado and a single Phantom which I include here.

Hello,
just to add something new from this month, here is World Airways Cargo N742WA. Seen a couple of days ago, I just found out today that this is the only 747 they have in service, so I can say "I´ve got it" . I have to admit I´ve paid more attention to their MD11 fleet. As there´s more snow predicted, I guess there will be no more sightings this month...

Greetings from cold Germany

We had about 15 minutes today , where there was a little bit of blue in the overcast sky. Three aircraft could be seen before the "window" disappeared, a Ryanair, an Easy Jet plus one which I cannot identify. Coming from the west, probably Benelux, this one looks like a Fokker 100 with a livery I have not seen before, so maybe one of the experts can solve this puzzle.

Kind regards

To me it looks more like ERJ-134/145 ...
Could be Eastern Airways then but I can't find any livery of them with blue on the wings ...

Hope it helped a little
