High-Flyers photographs

I think the picture is aviation related. She, to paraphrase from an aviation classic called “Last Plane Out,” has a great area-rule fuselage.

(Just so there’s no misunderstanding - that’s a compliment, not an insult!)

hahahah…yeah, if i get that right, yes she does…and it…ahem…they…are quite fine :laughing: ok ok enough of that haha…damn i have being cooped up in a computer lab with no camera while its so clear and the monday sky is full of beginning of week travelers…grr

already a premier 1 and piaggio avanti scheduled to come into my airport back home…wish i was there!!

i’ll be on vacation down in FLA next week, if not, then back home in Pinehurst, NC. either way, should be some good opportunities presented…esp in pinehurst, thanks to all the golfers and rich people, there are lots of biz jets around…sometimes even michael jordan’s (ive seen it…and him…at the airport…

ok this is gettin long…back to stupid psychology studying

Um…does that thing even have interchangable lenses? (i dont think so) That might be why you can’t find any decent ones…or any at all.

Yes I believe so because there are threads on the rim just outside of where the lens comes out of. It came with an extension like barrel that screws on and protects the lens as you zoom in and out.

Fixed

Those threads are mostly for adding filters, at MOST a teleconverter to increase the ‘zoom’.
You can’t actually replace the lens apparatus that’s already in the camera.
Here’s a 1.7x teleconverter that attaches to the front of the camera. (found at the sony website :unamused: )

…and you don’t have to copy the whole message, including the picture, when replying, Junior. :wink:

I was looking at the 1st set of photos that you put on here. I still can’t figure out what the 1st 767 is, but the 1st 757 is a US Airways 757.

That’s because I’m not a flying Martian but MARVIN THE MARTIAN! :smiley:

Love the cloud photos. Despite *my * fusalage lol, I’ve been a Skywarn spotter for the weather service for almost 10 years and film severe weather. Closest thing I do to aviation. I’m by no means a meteorologist, but if any pilots have any questions about severe weather, I can take a shot at it. You all probably know way more than I do, but I love the stuff and it’s amazing how much one can learn out of sheer interest. I have an acquaintenance who has a fantastic website and a DVD available documenting his storm observations from his plane. Not sure if posting the link fits protocol here, but if you’re interested in the URL, please PM me.

Thanks for the camera info “Junior.” I think i’m going to go to a local camera store this weekend and see what I can’t do.

Actually, he’s the IV.

I’m the III, or as my father pronounced it, James the Turd! :unamused:

I see the family tree’s roots have been soaking up sarcasm for some time… :smiley: I may have to shelf “James the Elder” for a new nickname…

Yes, they’re deep and well fed.

I have a long memory and a longer reach…

if i am correct, this is: Martinair A320 @FL280 from Schipol (EHAM) TO Orlando (KMCO). can someone please confirm the airline?

I’m gonna get shot for this because they’re not high flyers but I don’t care, these are some I’ve gotten in the past:

Omega Tanker 707


Lear 45ish?

737-200

NOT Martinair: “As of April 2004 Martinair flies three A320 aircrafts to European holiday destinations. This aircraft is used exclusively for transportation of passengers and seats a maximum of 180 Economy Class passengers.”

hmm, thats interesting, because on the map i checked the flight # and it wasid it was an A320. after it got to KMCO, it was heading down to the caribbean yesterday. i dont have the flight # with me right now, but i can get it later this evening. is it Martinair at least? if not, what airline?

here is how i came to the conclusion it was martinair: i went outside and took some pics. came back inside and checked out what was around my area. there was a martinair (MPH) A320 the flew over right about the time i was outside according to the map (including 6 min delay). between that, a southwest 737, and a jet blue A319, that was the only one that had a red tail like that.

but, again, according to what was shown on the icon on the map, that flight, regardless of the pic, was an A320 flying from schipol to orlando.

so im curious…

That’s one modified A320, to make it from Schipol to MCO.

yeah tell me about it. i dont know, i jsut put down what the info tells me :unamused: :laughing:

yeah know the more i look at it, the more it looks like a 767…so im not sure at all, if that’s what it is, what airline it is and all the rest of the info…

i just need help on the airline. i looked up some martinair pics, and they dont have red on the whole tail cone and everythgin. so i dont know what to look for.

Looks like they fly a 767 EHAM to MCO, then continue the flight with a A320 to Juan Santamaria Int’l. Perhaps you saw the 767 but when you looked at FA, you saw the A320 leg. It is not unusual to switch aircraft but maintain the same flight number for multiple legs.
