Title: Plane spotting @ LHBP

Some of my best shots:

Planes landing on 13R, and SkyEurope taxiing for takeoff from 13R.

very good pictures Robert, not often you get so see a L1011-Tri-Star these days, exept for the storage parkings in the desserts.

Christian, we see them here in the UK quite a lot! Our airforce bought a job lot from BA when they retired them! They are now the workhorse for flying British troops around the globe from RAF Brize Norton. They are due to be replaced (and our age old fleet of Victor Charlies) by the A330 MRTT over the next few years if the deal ever gets finalised!

Javier, when you mean local airport, do you mean WSSS?:8

I went plane spotting at BHX/EGBB recently. Wasn't too exciting, I was listening to the controls and it seemed that the airport was so empty that all phraseology was forgotten: "park it in that bit, you know, the bit with the terminal"! However, a pilot did join me and I had a good chat with him.

Thank you very much ;D Although many of the pictures are not so beautiful because of the haze, I made a comparison in FS, and I found that the game graphics is really perfect...compared to my other images as well it is as real as possible ;)
