I know exactly what you mean

Asdrius - 2008-06-10, 19:12

I know exactly what you mean
Today was also the same weather. The number of unproccesed photos is getting bigger and bigger

Photos from Saturday. It was a really good day, I saw B747SP and IL-76

2008/06/07

10:35 UM996; FL380
B747SP EP-IAD Iran Air; IRA763 OIIE-ESSA



10:59 UM996; FL350
B737-400 UR-VVE Aerosvit AEW216 ESSA-UKBB


11:34 UM874
IL-76 Transaviaexport; heading east (KRAKI-LAVAR)

It's hard to track those IL-76 flights. I don't know neither the registration or routing of this flight.
Just heard the callsign on radio and it was something similar to Transaviaexport (TXC).

12:59 UN858
A310 CA-02 Belgium Air Force, BAF062, heading east

Not a good photo (against the sun) but rare plane (first time I see it)

Keep going! Time for processing will be during rainy days

Hello,

Looks like you got some exciting catches there Asdrius.
I managed to capture a photo as the weather significantly improved today.
