tdogg Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 What a coincidence Phantom I saw one of those today too! and a few others, was a bit of a dull day, of course as I'm typing this the sun is coming out :doh:/> I don't mind though sometimes shooting in the grey skies can add a nice touch to the pics(for me anyway lol) This 727 is looking her age today If it's free I'll take it!!

martin_sam_2000 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I was lucky enough to see one of American's new ERJ's here in Ottawa today. Got pictures but I wont get them online till tomorrow sometime ( I hope..moving on wed so I am not sure if I will get them up). I am still on the fence over this.. I love the gray colour and I think they look better than the Aluminium, but I just can't get passed the ugly tail! Oh..and I also got to see a CF-188 and a couple of Alpha Jets!

dylan Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) it was a 747 kind of day yesterday I hear Rule Britania every time I see one of these this was one dirty plane Edited April 9, 2013 by dylan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 and some other stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 So as promised, here are some pictures of what I got too see around work over the past week or so. first the "new" American ERJ a TACA A320 that diverted from Toronto due to weather, I was hoping for a neet picture but I got a Star Alliance scheme <_</> Another first for me, the first Air Canada Express E-170. It is still registered to AC but it flies under the callsign "maple" which is Sky regional's. a generic CF-188 transiting through..gas 'n go and the highlight for me, an RAAF Boeing 737 Thanks for looking, Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Weird colour on the radome of that hornet. Nice photos BTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Weird colour on the radome of that hornet. Nice photos BTW yeah... I wish I had a chance to get a close up but we were just to busy. It was like a dark gray epoxy or something that was applied over the tip. Very rough application, you could see the tan through the brush strokes and the rear line was nowhere near straight. your guess is as good as mine, but I would assume a scratch or something that they sealed.

Bigasshammm Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Made three tight circles directly above my house today. Maybe 1500 feet. Good to see that the boys are home they had been deployed for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdogg Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Slow day at YHZ, only saw 3 this morning but hey they aren't bad catches. ERJ-145, KingAir 200 and a 727 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dkobayashi Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Canadian forces AETE tutor parked here today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdogg Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yup went back out again today, another rainy grey day, and I love these days as much as the sunny ones. Sure the pics are a bit darker but for me it's about more than just the perfect shot over and over of planes I want to capture them in the full range of operations so yeah they may not be A.net worthy but they are worthy of a place in my albums! :D/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 After a long week at work, a little aviation therapy was called for Friday evening. It helped that it was 80 degrees with a gentle breeze... On Saturday, we had a couple of interesting visitors. This C-21A, 84-0079 was in from the Michigan Air National Guard in Battle Creek. This Swift Air 734 brought the Milwaukee Bucks to play the Charlotte Bobcats tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kevan Vogler Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I was out at the local airport yesterday playing around with my new camera when one of the flying clubs out there brought this L-60 Brigadyr out to play: There was something of a headwind and she got off the ground with barely any take off roll at all.

Kevan Vogler Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yeah! I was impressed by the size of those carriers. What caught my attention was Nimitz herself. She's the first of her class and she still looks sea-worthy despite being 38 years old. No kidding! I remember seeing the Nimitz at Puget Sound in 1987 or so. She was in for a refit and so the deck was totally empty, standing on that empty deck and seeing how much space there was on it was mind blowing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I was on Nimitz back in 77 (or 78?). Still had that new carrier smell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I cant remember if it was 762 or 761 Don't know about hail, but 761 is the one that was rebuilt after two(!!!!!) ejections. Was also the 409 colour bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdogg Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yeah I remember hearing that about 761. I kinda liked the big red X on the tails of AETE birds more than the little ones they have now. I'm a little biased having spend quite a bit of time drooling over their equipment while visiting my dad at work lol. Forgot to add this one from yesterday, sadly couldn't get a better shot of it but it's the first Dornier 328 jet that I've seen in person, and what a paint job! Guess I'll have to try and get a ramp job like Dylan so I can get nice and close for those wicked shots! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) yep get yourself a job as a rampie, best way to get cool shots of airplanes. like these Edited April 15, 2013 by dylan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
