Antonov Airlines An-124 coming in very early in the morning at East Midlands. Ideally, I wouldn't go for a backlit shot like this, but a spur of the moment trip at 7am meant I had to put up with whatever lighting I was given. All things considered, it could've been worse!

Emirates 777-300ER rouching down at Birmingham in beautiful light, really testing the limits of my 400mm lens!

Emirates A380 lifting up from Manchester Airport in the freezing cold, with the vibrant de-icer still present on the wings

Boeing 747-200 touching down at Birmingham Airport. It will take a while to get over this spot, even for a (mostly) plain white airframe, it will likely remain my catch of the year.

54 years ago today, the Ilyushin Il-76 flew for the first time! Conveniently, I caught this 'young' 16 year old airframe last week, so now I can make a birthday post for the aircraft 🎉

National Airlines Boeing 747-400 cruising at 34,000 feet above East Midlands Airport last Thursday

One of my personal favourite photos is of this Cessna Citation X, infront of an Indian Air Force C-17. I believe the C-17 at the time was transporting gold onboard, which made for a very heavy departure! Captured in September last year.

Video from a friend out at El Centro training with the Blue Angels and Jesus Christ this low pass 😬😮

FlyPro Boeing 747-200 landing at Birmingham Airport, my first and likely last time ever seeing a 200. Turned 40 years old a fortnight ago, so a very old and rare bird!
