Very cool!
I use FlightAware quite often too, to get real world routes for Flight Simulator. That one is handy as I can track flights on my mobile when I'm picking people up from the airport :) http://twitter.com/#!/flightradar24 |
Re: Planespotting
Some time back, I was on the flight deck of one of these...
http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft...30/c130_04.jpg On that trip we did this... http://www.visualintel.net/USAF/Weap...04_Bk2am-L.jpg And flew under these... http://www.solarpowerwindenergy.org/...ines_thumb.jpg I didn't do any of this, but the 30 or so Italian troops on board did... http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/...k_1415696c.jpg And I didn't have to pay to use the on-board facilities or put up with the awful colour scheme of Ryan Air :thumbsup: |
Re: Planespotting
That reminds me. In the dim and distant past I had spent quite some time flying in one of these...
http://www.militaryaircraft.de/pictu...06_005_800.jpg Always interesting flying below tree level and under the pylons. Some aircraft we equipped with external skid mounted video cameras and I remember watching one tape where the co-pilot called out 3 times "wires" while the pilot flew on oblivious to the impending disaster. Suddenly the helicopter altitude drops and you see nothing but grass! Amazingly they didn't crash. Then there was the time another crew struck a tail rotor while in a low hover hiding out in a wood :lol: |
