Awesome stuff Brennan, I really like #2.

Where those taken today?
What part of the airport were these from- was 23L active in the morning?
Also, in shot #1, I see you took your photos over the barbed wire- I usually poke my lens in the gap between it and the top of the fence. How did you achieve this, are you really tall?

They were using the road by the taxiway because they were doing something to it.

Theyre actually using the taxi way, just not 23R/05L as they often do, if they were putting aircraft on a road, they would fall through the tarseal........

Trolly we were in the truck and i whent on the sun roof because i wasn't botherd getting out :thumbup:

we don't get the QF 738's as much but both Pacific Blue and Air Pacific both operate them here on a regular basis.

I got out to AKl quite often but never get round to take any pics should try next time.

Cool shots everyone by the way

Yeah that's what i thought. Sad we only get a Pacific Blue 7am departure from here each day and that's it. i think i went on the Air Pacific 738 and 737 a while ago

Here are 14 more shots (1.42mb worth) I took at AA this afternoon- some of them suffer from over sharpening. Nothing too interesting here as the wind was blowing in favour of 05R...

Crikey Trolly, you got one of my aircraft from where I normally snap shots, we must have missed each other by minutes! Where you there between 315 and 4 by any chance?

by **ardypilot** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 5:33 pm

Yep I was there from about 2 to 4.30, not much to photograph with the aircraft that were departing being so high up by the time they crossed the 23L theshold where the best spotting spots are

I left just after -JNO departed.

I was on the left hand side, didn't notice anyone near the fence, mind you the flight attendant had my attention...show me how to put that life vest on again

Went down to the airport on Wednesday to farewell a very special girlfriend who was flying out to Europe

I sat in the lookout for a while afterwards with the camera, and got a few photos. Nothing too special, but I thought I'd post them anyway:
