Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

I was on a spotting trip with 2 friends from the 3rd of May untill the 6th of May. We stayed at the Manchester Airport Hotel.
Flow in the with KL1073 arriving in the morning, aircraft was the PH-BTD a Boeing 737-300.

1. Our ride at the gate.
Image

2. Polderbaan (36L-18R) tower.
Image

3. Climbing
Image

4. Cruise
Image

5. Vortex while descending.
Image

6. Flaring
Image

7. Cockpit
Image

8. Outside view, just before the busride to Terminal 2.
Image

9. The Manchester Airport Hotel. Paid 45 pounds for 3 night, it's nothing special but worth the money.
Image

10. After a long walk (we underestimated the length) we arrived at the first spot.
Image

11. A Qatar A330 reversing on runway 05L, there were heatwaves.
Image

12. EK18 to Dubai.
Image

13.
Image

14. Nice Jet2 Boeing 737-800 with special titles, there is also a 757 in these colors.
Image

15. Not much A300 passenger planes left in Europe.
Image

16. We moved to a further spot where you can see aircraft vacating runway 05R, a lot of backlight. My second part will be better because we moved a lot.
We walked over 15km the first day so we thought it was enough. Here is the Finair Retro.
Image

17. Some regulars.
Image

18. What if she said no?
Image

19.
Image

20. PIA701 vacating 05R, Pakistan also uses the Boeing 777-200ER on the route.
Image

21. EY21 taxiing to the gate.
Image

22. Just 3 more from the hotel garden.
Image

23. New VS A330 to Orlando.
