Back in 2003 I was in Zurich to shoot a concert with a rockband. I arrived a day early and took the opportunity to spend the day at the airport, of course. Up early to catch the long-hauls as they arrive from their destinations. First out was a Swiss MD-11. It was calm winds and [...]

During a holiday back in 2002, me and my wife drove past SJC airport on our way south from San Fransisco. As the spotter I am I took the opportunity for a few minutes of spotting.

I drove up to Oslo in Norway to do a photoshoot with a rockband earlier this year. Naturally I stopped by the airport for a while before returning home. OSL has some good spots and I decided to explore them.

I found some old boxes I had tucked away a long time ago. They contained a lot of old VHS-C cassettes. One of them especially caught my eye. It was a tape from 1993…

Quick stop at GSE

Another nice winter’s day here. Sun breaking through the thin clouds now and then, -5 degrees C and lots of snow on the ground. Just like it should be in winter time. I took a chance and drove out to the airport just to arrive after the Stansted flight with Ryanair. Missed the landing, again! I [...]

Today was the last day of operations for BRA B767 into GOT. So, it was a must for me to drive up and shoot it. It has been flying here for 6 months now and I still haven’t seen it. So, today I decided to go. I had hoped for sun, but instead it was [...]

Went shopping today with my daughter and I brought my camera bag, just in case… They said it would clear up during the day… I’ve heard that one before but took a chance. On my way home I passed by the airport hoping to catch the Stansted arrival.

Surprise on the approach!

We’ve had a few days of really dense fog here. A lot of flights have been divirting or returning back to where they came from. So, we’re talking about really dense fog. Yesterday a lot of aircraft went to holding and waited. One of them was Iran Air flight #767.
