So, a cup of coffee and my feet on the dashboard until something came by was in order.

And to think your getting paid for this Matt.   ;D

Don't you think you should give part of your paycheck back this week, just for the pure enjoyment of being there?   ::)  

Great shots and don't forget to clean the boot marks off the dash.   ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Sorry, but it's a Fokker 100. They are a charter lease from Germaina and operated in Air Berlin colours.

Nobody beats a guy I know at EBUL.

Last sunday there were 5 ga-planes in the pattern or over the airfield, so lots of engine-noise. Suddenly the man point to a white dot high up and said, that's a Harvard. So I point my lense up, take a shot and zoom in on the LCD-screen... and it sure was! He could recognise the sound of the engine amongst 5 other engines!

Sad to say, but I can tell you if an Air Bus is taking off or if it is a 737 whist inside the hanger  :-[
