The tower clears us for take off.




As I pull back on the stick, the huge jet gently rotates skyward.




A shot from the tower.

Lovely shots, nice plane too. Great paint scheme. Well done!

very nice again Dave! but the quality isn't like we know you. what happened? of course they are good, but when i compare them to your other ones, these aren't so clear...no offense of course  ;)

No offense ever taken. I know what you mean. When I was trying to keep them under 100kb, they started to look,ehh.....not so good.
The third one was the only one that came out decent. I don't even know where the last picture went!  ::)

Oh well.....
The originals were so huge that even in photoshop's lowest "save" setting, I was only just making it under the 100kb rule. Really "ate away" at the pictures!  >:(  

Thanks!

Very cool picks.  I like how the landing light glows even during the day.  Giving the impression there is a bit of moisture in the air.

OK, I found out what happened.
When I was resizing in photoshop down to 800 wide, it was saving the JPG with the sharpening effect turned on.!  :P  Thus making some of the shots grainy!! Really noticable in the last 2 shots.
I think this also happened on the "KLM Departure" pictures!  :P

Oh, well!

Won't do that again!!
