Zoom 767....nice condensation again  8-)
     

Thomson 767
     

Traffic is building up...Thomson 757 departing as a bmi A330 lands
     

Where did it all go???? Another Thomson 757 leaves as a Cathay Pacific cargo 744F comes in
     

That same 757
     

Weather starting to brighten up now....just in time for this lovely Thomas Cook A330.....complete with wingtip vortices.

love the A330 with the vorticies

Wingtip vortices! Cool!

First and last ones are my favs.

Just look at the amount of effective washout showing on that first image.........outstanding !

Your dedication paid off... awesome series!!  8-)

I still wonder how you are able to get such nice unobstructed views. Were you standing on a spottingplatform? No fence in sight.

Quite. I'd never really noticed that on an airliner before - in fact I can't really remember seeing it (noticably) on any full size aeroplanes.

One suspects that spray is probably the correct term, in the aeronautical use of the word condesation.

Great sets of shots

Manchester has a pair of spotting platforms - on top of earth mounds which must be 3 or so metres high.

Here they are

Along the second runway at Manchester there is a hill/mound which runs parallel  ;)

Fantastic shots Mic, Thanks for posting, Mark

More great shots!!  

I wish we had a few spotting platforms at PHL instead of squeezing the lense through the fence!!

Take a closer look at the engines

Dont tend to go to the AVP as most of the shots are taxying, especially when the second runway is in operation....As stuart said, there is a raised footpath which goes around the whole runway, including a higher mound at the holding point and a convenient tunnel for the river Bollin which provides an easy way to access both sides....it's often VERY muddy during the winter though

Mound at holding point

Tunnel for River

Kris - I've got a couple of nice Brussels airline BAe146, might post them later

EDIT

here's a pic of the place in slightly better weather...notice the fence and the bank

Lol! Oh yes - my mistake! Having said that, compared to 777 engines those are so small and insignificant...

Ahhh, wouldn't fancy the tunnel today!

Kris, you should get there sometime....maybe during the summer you could come over and do an aircraft tour of the UK
