Some more photos from Sunday. Between 1600-1700 I observed lots of traffic, but it was just impossible to capture all of them. When I had 2-3 planes cruising above at the same time, I had to choose only one which I had to concentrate to photograph.

Awesome!

Today in Vilnius a high level NATO meeting started. Lots of interesting government aircraft came in the morning, airport was packed to full capacity.

I took some pictures:
The highlight US Air Force E-4B :

Uk Air Force Bae-146 parked nearby

Polish Tu-154:



Also a lot of other govermental Gulfstreams, Challengers, Falcons, An-26s, German A310 and others from all NATO member countries.

Most of these planes will depart tomorrow (Friday)
I hope some of polish members might see some of them cruising above Poland tomorrow

[grztus]

Aha, so this is the reason, that my ACARS have been showing today two NATO AWACS: LX-N90447 (NATO 14) and LX-N90448 (NATO 21).
Thank you Asdrius for information.

Hi,

All NATO planes departed on Friday afternoon. Many interesting planes including USAF E-4B and GAF A310, flew over Poland. But I found no pics, it seems there were too many clouds over Poland that day

Some new pics from today:

ContrailsUK, excellent pics as usual.
Especially the Martinair 763 whose livery I just adore.

Asdrius, your photos are better and better.
Congratulations on the 777-200LR.
As far as I know this is the first shot of this aircraft on our Forum.
