One of those few times the shutter speed is less than 1/300. Helps in blurring the props. Firefly ATR72-500 (9M-FYF) This FedEx touched down a bit further into the runway.

SS Lee 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks Guys. The sound from the engines are really different. Sounds quieter too (hopefully not biased ). Thank you very much for that Looks like there isn't anything strikingly different A320neo vs sharklets fitted A320ceo - yeah, the two things hanging there are bigger, but you'll need a second or even third glance to be able to tell them apart Probably easier now with 9M-NEO in her distinctive pinkish livery, but when you have the regularly dressed neo red ants joining the crowd ..... I do agree with that. Not much of a difference, apart from the brighter and whiter landing lights. I somehow find it easier to tell LH's A320Neos apart than AirAsia's. Could be due to the colour scheme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I somehow find it easier to tell LH's A320Neos apart than AirAsia's. Could be due to the colour scheme. The LED landing lights are also on the latest Ceos. LH Neos have PW GTFs - these have fans that are a little larger than those on the CFM LEAPs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SS Lee 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2016 Spotting trip 2 weeks ago, almost 4 hours worth. One of the main aim was to get the A320Neo (my first attempt), though it did not show up.
