ECUAviation These are all great pictures. I would love to see more and more. If you take anymore post them or hit me up with a PM and send them to me. thanks for the rest. Oh and welcome to FA.
Nice pics, ECUAviation. I do wonder if that last picture is in fact a 767 (the one that looks like a government a/c). The fuselage looks a little fat to be a '57, but I’ll grant you that the light and glare make it a little difficult (for me, anyway) to be sure.
yeah i dont know…i guess i was focused more on the colors and such haha…but who knows…
I must say ECUaviation, that’s an awesome camera. What is it?
Its not the VP’s plane, those are painted with the blue going over the full length of the bottom of the plane, and also have the engine cowlings painted blue.

Searched through some 767 photos (based on planeaholics observation of the fuselage width).
This is the closest paint scheme I found, could be them.
Its a Kodak Z650 with 10X optical zoom (38-380mm), and an additional 5X digital, which is what i am using on all of these pics. here are the other statistics:
f/3.2-8.0 aperture range
1/1000 sec - 8 seconds shutter speed
+2.0 to -2.0 exposure compensation
80-400 ISO
the camera only cost me $200, but its usually around $300-$350. its a point and shoot, not a digital SLR, but it sure gets the job done. it does take AMAZINGLY sharp pictures when in normal optical zoom mode.
Sounds like you got a pretty sweet deal with the camera. Those pictures are great!
that looks like it, but the only thing i see different is that on all the pics i see of Blue Panorama Airlines, the whole tail and all tail surfaces are blue. in the pic i have, the tail is white with blu accents. other than that, id say its pretty much right on. thanks!
yeah it was a pretty sweet deal…ill have more up tonight. i work 3-7 in a computer lab and i track flights over my area. when i see a few good ones coming i run outside with my camera and pop off a few shots. i usually use the full 10X optical + 5X digital zoom and do a 4-picture burst.
Ya, they may be a stretch anyhow, looking at most of there pics I gather that they are out of Italy, and I think you said you are down around Greenville, NC. Couldnt find any pics of Blue Panorama in the US, but their website looked like it was some type of charter carrier, so who knows.
The first thing I thought of when I saw that last picture was it looked like one of US Airways special paint schemes honoring it’s roots. (piedmont, allegheny, ect…) I dont feel like looking now, but wasnt one of those a 757 with blue like that?
All of their “throwback” planes are A319s. They do have some state themed 757s for their hub states (They got rid of “Ohio” though. ), and they may have some more, but the Allegheny, PSA, etc., as well as their sports themed a/c are Airbii.
Thanks, it had been a long day…
Wish me luck today, going to have some fun picking our way around the crap. 591AF
TRY TO GET SOME GOOD STORM AND CLOUD PICTURES SORRY FOR YELLING JUST BLEW SOME MONEY AT THE MONTREAL CASINO LAST NIGHT.
I’ll be seeing the same crap, just from the ground.
Leaving for car ride to California in the morning, should be interesting…

Wow I would be making the best of time. I would be tracking tornadoes with this weather. Although I don’t think you will be seeing them if your leaving in the morning if you were already near Tennessee or Missouri then I think you would see some bad storms.
Yeah, it looks like I’m going to be missing the big storms, it’s the snow I’m worried about.
a few from yesterday

Just missed the moon! I love those rare shots when a plane is silhouetted against the moon.
From Jersey?! That’s a haul. I’ve driven from OH to L.A.(10-day stay), then to S.F.(1 night), then N and E to Yellowstone for a week. [Gee, can you tell which segment we actually had to PAY for lodging?! ] Anyway, been there, done that, …will fly from now on. Have a safe trip!
