Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left and slightly towards the camera.
The plane has a grey belly, with a blue stripe outlined in yellow running along the body from around the nose, with blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper fuselage over the wing root.
The tail is white, with a thick blue strip towards the top containing a yellow ellipse that itself contains an image of a stylised blue flying bird.
Lush green grass fills the foreground, with more patches of grass visible under the plane marking the edges of the runway and taxiways in the background.
Trees line the skyline in the distance, with grey skies filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, single-engined, high-winged light aircraft flying from left to right with flaps extended from the rear of the wings with the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off.
A mauve and grey stripe runs along the body from the nose, getting slightly wider as it moves towards the rear, overlaid with the registration "G-GOOS" in mauve on the rear fuselage.
An additional grey stripe runs along the top of the rear cockpit and the base of the tail.
A similar but inverted stripe runs along the spats covering the fixed undercarriage.
Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

On the right is a woman with long dark hair and wearing a black top that rises over her right shoulder and blue jeans, playing a brown bass guitar with her left hand, looking closely at her right hand on the neck of the bass.
In the background, amplifiers and an assortment of red crates stand against the black walls.

Bonus Photo of the Day 21st March 2025.

The bassist from Essex-based band Fei Comodo (possibly either Phil Walker or Jay Styler) performing at Tiger Lounge, Manchester, 30th November 2006.
I met these guys a few times (they were friends with The Idiot Rate), but I think this was the only time I saw them in action.

Long exposure of a man with short dark hair and wearing a black t-shirt and beige trousers, playing a brown bass guitar and looking directly at the camera.
A flash has frozen him in place, while a long exposure gives the impression of movement, with red and yellow secondary images of him painted to either side.
A drum kit is visible behind him in the bottom right of the frame.
Red and tiger print drapes cover the walls, while the ceiling is yellow.

Long exposure snap zoom close-up of the face of a man facing to the right, with dark hair that is very short on the sides and fairly long on top, wearing a green t-shirt, and looking down and to the right of the frame.
A flash has frozen him in place, and a long exposure mixed with a snap zoom out gives a sense of movement, with added red, yellow, green and blue stage lights going off, painting the frame with coloured lights.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined, 3-tailed, airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway.
The plane has fixed undercarriage, suspended from the rear of the wing-mounted engine pods, and connected to the fuselage by stub wings coming from the bottom of the body.
The plane's belly is a light grey, with a green stripe running along the side of the body.
The 3 tail-fins are green, with the outer faces of the outer fins having a wide white band outlined in black, with a black line drawing of a stooping eagle over the word "Atlantic" in black.
Green grass either side of the runway fills the bottom of the frame, with trees in the distance, with tree-covered rolling hills under grey skies beyond that.

N700KC, Canadair Challanger 601-3A, at Manchester Airport, 20th March 1992.

Slightly blurry side view of a white, twin engined BizJet taxiing from right to left.
There is a thin blue stripe running along the body,. sweeping up to fill the rear of the tail.
The same blue stripe fills the rear of the up-turned wingtips.
The registration "N700KC" is on the side of the engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage.
A grassed area and concrete apron fill the foreground, with more grass and a runway leading up to black hangars in the distance.

#AvGeek #aviation #planespotting #photography

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just metres above a runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, undercarriage lowered, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off.
The plane has blue "Air France" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a series of diagonal blue (and a single blue) stripe on the tail.
Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, with a large, grey terminal building stretching across the frame, which has a white and orange plane parked in front of it.
Hot exhaust gasses from the planes engines turn the air in the bottom right corner to jelly, making everything in that corner indistinct.
Grey skies fill the rest of the frame.
