Some nice shots all round. Angry, did you ever get your Sigma sent off and recalibrated? I sent mine off 3 weeks ago and just got it back today, haven't tested it yet though.

No Dave,just parceled it up and it`s going tomorrow,focus was getting very ropey,so high time to get it serviced.

Took delivery of a 150-500mm lens last Saturday and finally got to use it a while ago.....

Taken from about 17 miles and a altitude of 34000ft....

Could it be The Bahrain Amiri flight? Didn't they replace the SP with a 744?

Hi

Looks as though it could be Kalitta Air (N743CK).

Cheers

Phil

Sorry I was thinking of the Qatari 747sp, which now seems to be replaced with a 748i BBJ. Kalitta Air seems probable!

Nice shots from today. My view of N272WA as it flew directly over me.

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #111 on:** May 01, 2013, 09:12:37 PM »

Great shots-especially yours Dave-re-calibration seems to be rather good

Good shot! What utterly different lighting we had for the same subject despite only being a handful of miles apart.

Yes, quite a difference a few miles make. I was in the middle of dinner so I didn't even think to hang around and watch to fly off towards the sun.

Well done everyone, sharp and gin clear

Dave · « **Reply #115 on:** May 05, 2013, 06:47:16 PM »

Very nice Smudge, I'm a fan of those raked wingtips myself, they look quite elegant and give the wings a longer appearance from nose on.

Very little passing through MIMKU at the moment but I did catch Singapore Cargo's 9V-SFP eastbound at dinner time tonight. Sunlight from aft, contrary to my usual shots! Just a little evening light catching the port ventral fairing.

Remainder of the underside illuminated from surface reflection.

Contrails still set to 'OFF'. That's over three weeks now...

I heard passing over BFS,but could not see him due to cloud,and as you mention lack of contrail.

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #121 on:** May 15, 2013, 12:36:05 AM »

Nice shots there Smudge; not too many high flyers over BFS tonight,but noticed this at around 2020ish-quality not great as I am using a 90-300mm at the mo,whilst my Sigma is being serviced

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #122 on:** May 15, 2013, 07:51:30 PM »

Thanks Smudge-I knew the aircraft type,but could not recall the operator-think I have seen these over BFS in the past.

Saw it again tonight,hiding in some wispy cloud.
