Hi team,
Just thought i would share a first attempt at ground to air shots.....as if you couldn't tell at least these have aircraft in them.....at the start i had a great collection of tail cones, radome's, and fresh air. I'm using an old Sony cyber shot.....not much room for fine tuning, pretty much point and click, but a good learning tool.
Gavin, Anthony and all you other contributers, thanks very much for the inspiration.....cheers.

Now i just hope they upload ok......thanks for looking .....oh, the last one is an intentional cloud shot....looked like concorde....or is it just my medication

Cheers

Nice ! I see a Concorde too, and I do like the vapour trails off of the flaps in the last plane shot - never seen that before

Cool, did you take these yesterday? I watched that Emirates 777 on approach as well, but from Hornby

I thought I heard the DC3 come in, speaking of which it just flew out over my place, must have taken of on RW11.

Waka, when i put them on the computer they are real big.....i must have missed a re-size option at photobucket.

Albatross, not yesterday....i think about 2 weeks ago now, it was just one of those super blue days.Tried to catch it again today, but he got in before i could get out there.
Thanks anyway for looking.

I think the last one to visit chc was an Air France one, i was lucky enough to have about 10mins on board prior to departure.....courtesy of a friend at ANZ.....Ahhh, the good old pre 9-11 days.

Cheers Dask77....it was strange, it just formed like that quite fast....then broke up, just happened to be looking that way at the right time.

Wow that Concorde shot is great! Its really quite clear! Thats a really special picture.
