I am still up in the north of Colombia, and took a few more photos this morning at Santa Marta airport. Not sure what the Twin Otter was doing there, but lucky to get a couple of photos of it. Judging by the clouds and weather, it would be a turbulent flight today.









smooth landings.

Great shots HT, I like that scheme on the 73.

Always a pleasure checking out your spotting

thanks for posting nice to see aviation on the other side of the world.
are you working in over there or holidaying?

Nice pics, and yeah I agree the 7-3 livery is a lovely one.

This trip is only a holiday, and very nice it has turned out too. Lufthansa have been doing some fantastic 72 hour sales, and despite rising fuel prices, there are still a few great bargains around, so when I saw Colombia so cheap, I could not resist!!! Off to Norway on Monday, then down to Switzerland a of week later, and then in May to the Azore Islands (Portuguese), so there should be a few more interesting shots coming up. The camera is getting a lot of use.

I still cannot get over how safe, friendly and relaxed Colombia is, not what I was expecting.

Regarding the photos, the camera is still doing a great job, but slowly I am beginning to long for a large sensor camera, so I may update in time. Still love the Pansonic though, as for its size and weight, it is doing a great job. One disadvantage though (especially for landing/take-off shots) is that it will not do burst shooting in RAW mode, only JPEG. Usually for take-off/landing shots I just set it to burst mode and let it fire off 3 photos a second, so that one is about right, but only in JPEG mode. The 18 X optical zoom is fantastic, makes things much easier when you cannot get close. And being a Leica lens then the optical quality is good too. Nothing is perfect though....

smooth landings.
