Wow, great shots. The only thing that takes away from them a little is that they aren't leveled.

You can do that in most graphics editors including IrfanView (Image/Custom Fine Rotation). You will have to crop it slightly afterwards but it makes all the difference. Do it before resizing the image.

I've never seen a KLM Retro before! Very cool! Number 1 is especially good imo. So you have the Nikon D60? Are these pictures with the lense it usually comes with or did you buy a new lense? I'm thinking of buying the D60 myself. :)

These are taken with the 18-55mm it comes with, i took them and had to crop/zoom in on the camera to get the close ups, really thinking about getting a longer lens though....  Camera is very easy to use, i would recommend ;)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Mic, keep an eye out on this site ->http://www.ringwayreports.co.uk/ringway.htm

check the scheduled movments page for the date you are going.....Looking at this months it seems like they rotated them for each day, click the link on the main page and look for the KLM flights, then check when they use BXA ;)
