Hi everyone, these past days have been definetly more active for me with the coming of much better weather
(which of course has now vanished :-D ) and much more freighter action over my home.
I hope good weather conditions come soon again, then i will be happy.

Then this glorious Vistara/BA meeting, which i put in a collage because it was really symmetric.
Hope nobody minds this kind of design.
It took place 49 Km away from me.

And at last this departure that really didnt go the way i expected it to.
The aircraft flew a departure that allowed it to climb much higher than it was good for me and it got caught in the heatwaves.

Today i saw many unusual visitors in my airspace, and a very interesting weather situation.
The weather had changed every half hour until the evening.
I was very happy about all the interesting passerbys, although most of them passed against the sun hence ruining
the overall quality of the captures.

Hi,
edited from March 19, a sharp enough image of a Qatar B777.
The Qatar 777 have been eluding me for some months now, i finally caught a good one this march.
