@Seimou, This airspace change is OK but more unpredictable as aircraft can turn at any moment rather than follow the designated airway. So sometimes things can go in your favour and other times not. Luckily for me the East UK Airspace remains unchanged and there are a few waypoints still near me (OXLOW, ADKIK, GIBSO), so you can tell which aircraft are aiming for these points when they are still over the Atlantic. I would say that there is a slight improvement in traffic levels and I even had some surprises like that Emirates A380 from MXP, which is very rare here.

I have sent you a PM with further information.

Regards,
James

Hi everyone, looking back at February, this is one of those images that come out looking extremely good and i dont even know why, maybe there was great air quality for a second because all of the other pictures i caught that day were much worse.

Sometimes I am really surprised how good photos you are able to make using your Nikon!

Hello everyone,

Here is my first post from August, and it comes from Canary Islands where i spotted South-American Air traffic.

LATAM Brasil TAM8066 GRU-MAD 36,000 PT-MUA B777-32W(ER) 505KTS Star Wars-Galaxy's Edge Livery



Most Latam aircraft crossed over at Lunchtime with very heavy sunshine but i managed to catch some latecomers when it wasnt that bad, and i was certainly happy about this one.

I have taken too much of aircraft pictures this summer and it will probably take me forever to process all of them but i will be slowly adding up other photos and videos .

Take care

Hi,

These photos were taken near the border between NL and Belgium where you can see a lot of traffic from Asia descending to LHR. An opportunity for me to catch some unfamiliar airlines.

Wonderful Job ! Almost all of them pass through Slovakia sometimes great to see them through your telescope.

@Seimou Thanks!

Just found another one that I took whilst spotting at AMS. A small opening in the clouds presented a wonderful contrast. So much love for the new Condor liveries
