Can't help you there as I'm only beginning to tell the difference between a 747 and an A340 at altitude

Just a few shots from today. Was very nice to see the TOM/FCA 757W heading to GLA from Las Palmas . Second one is a UPS B763 and i think the third is an AA 777, not sure though.

Correct for all three (in my opinion)

It was very busy in the skies this morning. Captured these two (747 & 777?) around 8:50. At any one time I could see up to 4 in the sky at once.

Nice shot! Now that my exams are finished as of this morning, I've more time for some contrailing watching. I caught two United Airlines 777's yesterday evening about a mile apart, heading in the same direction.

Nice shot, just sit back and relax as the wife says

Dave · « **Reply #33 on:** June 05, 2009, 10:02:26 PM »

Haha very good Casper, surprised the wife didn't mind! My girlfriend's quite camera shy. What better way to enjoy a day in the sun

I didn't hear any noise

Looks like an A340-300 or 747, more likely a 747.

Nice one Don, I'm surprised he managed to link up registrations with the aircraft themselves. The DC-9 was a good catch. And all those by hand holding a small compact camera up to a telescope! Impressive!

Now that I remember, I came across a photographer on jetphotos.net, S. Kustov, whom uses a telescope to photograph aircraft in detail at cruisning altitude. Have a peek at his shots... all very impressive!

String · « **Reply #40 on:** June 15, 2009, 02:40:36 PM »

Thanks, but i wasn't sure if i was going to get them the sky behind me is as black as coal and looks like we could get another THUNDER STORM.

Dave · « **Reply #41 on:** June 15, 2009, 02:53:16 PM »

Nice! Looks like you caught one of Delta's 767-400's!

String · « **Reply #42 on:** June 15, 2009, 02:54:56 PM »

Just caught this one and guess what the thunder has arrived again but it's behind me.

Hi there,
I just signed up to the forums here, lots of great pics, etc.
This is my first post, so I'd like to say a big Hello to everyone.
I think I'll start by posting some shots, to keep in the spirit of things.
All taken this morning over Dublin.
Cheers.

Squad.
