Frankfurt 4-6th June

Hi I have had a few weeks off between jobs so I decided to use some of my air miles and head off to Frankfurt for a few days. I hadn't been spotting there since 1980 so it was well overdue! They were on the easterly runways throughout my stay which meant that when I was on the viewing terrace I coul...

Last but certainly not least I spent my Sunday at Haneda. Having caught the Airport Bus into Central Tokyo the Saturday evening I got up early and caught the bus to Haneda. I spent the day on top of Terminal 1 which looks out over runway 16R from where most departures took place. They were using a c...

So day 2 was more of the same. After logging a few from my bedroom window I headed back to the viewing area on top of Terminal 1 for a full days spotting. Again I logged everything that I saw although I may have missed the odd one or two as I did get so bored I nodded off in the sunshine! From my vi...

Hi Lucky enough to have to go to Tokyo again for work. I arrived at about 3pm and was on the top of Terminal 1 by 4pm. This gave me about 3 hours of spotting before retiring to the Marroad Airport Hotel where I had a room with a view over the threshold of Runway 16R where I could carry on watching w...

LOG: Trip to Sydney 3rd March - 11th March (long)

Hi I had to make a trip to our Sydney office for work which gave me the chance to get some spotting! I left Heathrow on 3 March on EK006 to Dubai on B773 A6-EMO. While at the gate I noted TC-JPP A321 of Turkish arriving. We were slightly delayed in pushing back which meant that my already tight tran...

Hi While travelling for work I had an overnight stay at LAX. I stayed at the Hilton and had a good view over the south runways from my room. Here are just a few (poor) photos taken from my room. My excuse for the poor quality was that the room windows were quite thick, they were also dirty and I was...

Re: Phone Apps

Hi

I have Plane Finder on my iPhone. Depending on where you live this can be quite useful for identifying any ADS-B equipped planes flying near you.

Cheers

Narita, Tokyo - 4th September 2010

Hi My last day before flying back to Heathrow so here are a few more shots from the viewing terrace. A bit over-exposed I'm afraid as I forgot to change the settings after doing to some other photos (and I'm not used to all the sunshine!!) http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/colinnwells/DSC_317...
