Re: LOG US trip part 1

N401A K-225 pr (ex BuNo 125478) Regarding the K-225, some sources say this went to the USCG as YHOK-1C with serial 1239 before reverting back to its civil serial, who knows more? Help with the last operational units of the three indicated aircraft would also be very welcome. I have this info regard...

Re: LOG Switzerland January '24

Wow. How lazy police can get? Instead sending a car and checking you guys right on the spot, they decide to do the "investigation" via another country. Talking about laaaaazy way out.

Seville La Cartuja Heliport LEEX - Dec 7 2024

Quick visit to the main heliport at Sevilla. I was poking my lens through tick bushes to get a shot, just to find out that 20 feet to the right the bushes are almost non existent :) Four Avincis helis were on the deck. Third yellow one was partially blocked so I didn't upload the shot AB412 EC-FEL ....

Re: Sevilla San Pablo 2024

VH3D, 0065/F-RBAM was outside 8/9/10th Dec and departed to Orleans at 18:30 on 13th Dec. F-RBAY is 0142 and hasn't flown since 28th Nov. We only saw one French A400, 0065/F-RBAM, unless our unidentified example that was pulled out shortly before our departure (10th dec) proves to be French. Mike Hi...

Re: Seville Airport SVQ December 2024

December 7th Day started at the west side but by 9am the winds have shifted and the airport switched runway usage. Another nice spotting location photography wise, but probably the nastiest, dirtiest and trashiest area I've seen in Europe. When I got there first time I thought that the spotting area...

Re: Sevilla San Pablo 2024

A400 0065 FAF (rework, returned to Orleans 13.12 as “CTM2029”). A further A400 was pulled out late Tuesday afternoon (10.12), seen as we departed. It was painted but appeared to have some green-ish metallic unpainted area around the port wing root/upper fuselage which may assist in identifying it. ...

There were a lot of Cessnas and Pipers. I guess that the nice weather down south makes it ideal for pilot training.

Seville Airport SVQ December 2024

Hi I had 3 mornings and 2 afternoons for spotting at Seville airport. Nice spotting locations, nice weather, but the traffic on Fri/Sat/Sun is not that great. Weekdays with the CASA plant running, you can get some nice catches. Here are some of my catches. December 6th https://live.staticflickr.com/...

Re: Martinsburg WV ANG MRB 10/29/24

The hex is mismatched. It shows everywhere as AH-64 with the number you provided above. Imagine my disappointment when both FR24 and adsbx were showing Army Apache coming in, only to see UH-60 landing... Anyway, it was my first Wheeling bird, so not all was lost.

21037 is from the WV-NG at Wheeling.
Thanks! Corrected. This H60 was hard to ID. Scramble has it as deployed to Iraq and FY unconfirmed. Joe Baugher's site has it as 18- but I can't find any other info on this bird anywhere else.

Martinsburg WV ANG MRB 10/29/24

Hi Guys, Haven't been to MRB in at least 6 months, so it was overdue. Navy P-8 and OH ANG UH-60 were my highlights. Boeing Saab 340 still in Silver colors and not converted to electric yet. Also first time photographing/seeing Sonex aircraft in person. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54109820119...

JRA West 30th St Heliport Manhattan NYC 9/11/24

Hi All, I had a chance to roam around west Manhattan for couple of hours and decided to pay a visit to this heliport. Really nice spots for photography and very busy place. You can shoot from outside the fence in the park or like I did, from the restaurant on the pier next to the heliport. I had onl...
