hah!!! Saudi 744 and eyebrowless xiamen?????? @#$%$##@#$$% !!!!!

 

lucky you norman! next time i go spotting, hope you be there. lucky charm. by the way, your xiamen shot is very good just like the last time. and if you notice, the flight is fully auto. as if there is no no pilot at the front. what's the apperture you used? 7.1?

Fendi,

 

I did posted this trip in the MH Family post, remember ... :D

Was actually looking for the regulars ... :(

 

Azahan,

 

Not me nor my wife the lucky charm,

'cos the Thurs session, we only catched MH & AK only :(

But this trip and the 1st trip with you guys

Syakir aka Norman Jr was around... :lol:

He's the lucky guy... ;)

 

Xiamen was captured in F6.3 1/400 ISO100...

 

Jonathan,

 

that B737-700 is without eyebrow and is a brand new plane for Xiamen Airlines

 

I didn't know that...

I know part of the trade is to know each and every aircraft's history

but hasn't acquire that one yet...

Maybe Syakir can... :D

 

Some more guys;

 

the same Arab tucking-in his gears;

HZ_AIV03.jpg

 

Same guy as no.2 above

--more to come ... pls bear with me ,.... hahaha...--

 

PS to Hazani & Nizam

Don't worry guys.... I'm still with the Simming world

it feel just like a spottographer who sent in his Bigma 500mm lens for servicing;

that's how a simmer felt when his RAM is not in the PC.... :lol: :lol:

Norman, what camera r u using?

In my opinion, handshake seems to be visible in the CX shot. What's the shutter speed?

Overall, very nice! ^_^

 

Shot this few months ago...

 

HZ-AIY 747-468

Liau,

 

I'm using a cheap prosumer only...

Pana Lumic DMC-FZ5 :p

 

It has Mega Image Stabiliser... ie without that the CX even worst :lol: :lol:

 

The pix was taken at F6.3 & 1/160sec... :p

 

However, surprise of the day was this KiloXray

 

I tought she gonna join the queue at CharlieOne,

 

but instead she turned on DeltaFive,

mh330c403.jpg

 

Line-up on Rwy OneFourRight (intersection departure...)

mh330c405.jpg

 

Spooled up her engines infront of us (Weather Stn near CharlieFive...)

mh330c406.jpg

 

And Rotate almost to the end... :lol:

mh330c407.jpg

 

What a sight!!... :lol: :lol:

 

And all the time at least two 737's are holding near CharlieOne

and that they've to wait to clear the wake turbulence :D :D

 

Could be a ferry flight.... :blink:

Norman, the love of aviation...spotting can be done alone, with Jr or families.

 

C4 take off by the airbus is normal.

777 does it too, only when we are light.

 

All depends of take off weight and power setting, if it allows such position to take off...no worries.

 

Bare in mind, runway shorter..something happen before or at V1, stop distance available is critical, within limits.

Hehe.. I m using Panasonic Lumix too... FZ20

Normally I use shutter speed no slower than 1/250 to avoid handshake and get sharp pics...

The eyebrow is those little windows above the main cockpit windows on the 707, 727 and the 737. It is those windows that the first thing a pilot will do entering the cockpit is to get some A4 paper to cover the window with. Or as I said it, a design mistake by Boeing, that's why the latest 737 don't have them because Boeing finally realized their error. :p :p

Ok, whaaatt... Use your right eye on the viewfinder,

left eye to look for the aircraft,

 

'cos the EVF is slooowww and always freeze... :angry: :p

 

BTW Pana corrected the position in FZ30... ;)
