Great stuff Jason, nice collection of pics, and aircraft. Good to see the metroliners, didnt know Toll operated them.
Oh, and what's your secret, ie finding a missus who's patient enough to wait for you to take aircraft photos, let alone go along with you laugh.gif

i don't know still haven't figured that one out, she enjoys watching the planes too, but with her being preganant you only get about two hours before bathrooms are required!! the metros are nice, if only there was a good one for fsx!!

you hardly see any 747's these days, i love photoing those birds, lots of smoke!!! don't see the 380s either, i rekon that would put the 747 to shame for tire smoke!!!

It'll be engine smoke and electrical smoke, with a little tyre smoke in there too.

Slowin down a real 747 aircraft must wear a few tyres on landing.

the times I've seen the Emirates A380 touch down it doesn't seem to smoke that much on contact with the runway - seems to gracefully touch down and roll out..



Awesome Photo's Justheace Thanks for posting them all cool.gif
