Imran K. 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2007 Hey there everybody, First of all...id like to apologize for the lack of pictures in this post. I started out the morning with high hopes, utter euphoria, and a desire to thoroughly enjoy myself at the airshow. Lo and behold, i received a call from my girlfriend with some pretty bad news, and thus I had to forfeit my day at the airshow and rush off. Thus...I only managed to capture some photos of the aerial display much later on in the evening. However, I have re-planned, and thus I will be visiting the exhibition on WEDNESDAY with some mates. Thus, do stay tuned for more pictures! PRESENTING.... F-WWEA (We Want Emirates Airlines) :rofl: (one disadvantage of having heliconian sky + haze...is your pix turn out..pretty icky sometimes) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imran K. 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Well...the last airshow to ever be held at OMDB has come to an end, amidst blood, sweat and tears. I must say...this years event surpassed all my expectations...and resulted in one of the best experiences of my life. The euphoria...the ecstacy...the sense of belonging...rubbing shoulders with the creme de la creme of the global aviation industry...what can i say... c'est la vie! That fine day...woke up at about 0615...picked up a couple of mates...and off we went. Smugly dressed in our suits, we resembled an investment-quartet of some sorts...ready to purchase that 787 for our clients...but deep down...we knew we were excited 'little girls' bouncing off walls in an aviation-induced high! Passed security...got my complimentary drink...and off went on our little buggy to the main exhibition hall where yet another security checkpoint awaited us. I felt like a stripper...casually removing items of clothing which bore metallic insignia...a free show of some sorts. Gosh i hope nobody pierced their unmentionables...now THAT would be a sight passing through the metal detectors We decided to visit the static display first...whilst the sun was still somewhat low'ish...with bright, exuberant sunlight bathing the entire static lineup. Proceeded down onto the apron...and was greeted by this handsome fellow. A Canadair Challenger 604... Ahh...a short walk allowed me to meet an old friend...who now graduated the air force academy...and pilots this baby...this is for you Jamal! (RE-)Presenting...the F16 'Block 60'. Another handsome fellow...sleek aircraft methinks. Gulfstream II (IIRC) As you all may have noticed in the above pictures of ZS-LOG...a BEHEMOTH with a rather large 'mouth' was on display....and...believe it or not...that aircraft bears rather appropriate titles for MAXIMUS Air Cargo! Well...thats all for now...i guess i should get some sleep..its been close to 30+ hours since my last slumber...im literally passing coffee through my system In any case...and being the evil person that I am..i shall leave you guys with a teaser of what's to come next (Pieter will be VERY happy to see my accomplishments, evident in the photo below!) Do comment away! Turrah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Idham 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) Nothing beats the rotation shot....i'm staring at 777 there almost 10 minutes before making this post...what i've learn about mechanical and aeronautical engineering for past 7 years flows inside my brain while staring at that shot...now i know what i'm looking at....its not about just an airplane, not about just an aircraft spotting...its the art of engineering, only engineers can understand...thank you Imran...

Imran K. 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Well...lets move on shall we? After enjoying the stroll right through the AN124's cargo bay...we proceeded to the Royal Jordanian Air Force C130...parked side by side with the Dubai Air Wing's L100-30. I really love this angle...truly summarizes the grandeur of this aircraft in one simple photo. Here's the L100-30...shiny! Looks like it has just been waxed! After wiping the drool off our faces...we decided to pay the Apache a visit! I haven't seen nor have i heard of this jet before...but i must say...i am VERY impressed! Last but not least...as many of you may or may not remember...spotting is severely frowned upon in this country. However...when an airshow comes to town...security is pretty lax...resulting in many spotters falling prey to the potentially-embarassing disease aptly named... S.O.S (Spotters Orgasm Syndrome) :rofl: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
