@Jimmy: 13:36 overhead EHGR, Airbus A-300 Beluga

The same Beluga with more detail. On the tail a '2' is visible, which belongs to F-GSTB.

Hi folks,

Today around 15:09lt crossing my house here in Purmerend a C-130 from the USAF.
Aircraft heading direction west coming from the east.

Thanks to my lovely wife i have now a Canon 1000D body with the 18/55 kitlens.
The photo from this C-130 is made with the 1000D body and the Voightlander 100/400mm on maximum zoom.( which i used on the 300D body)
I can't get the photo sharper then it now is.( i don't have photoshop i use only Irvanview)
If anyone have some tricks about the sharpness from this equipment please contact me.( i prefer Dutch but English is also welcome)

Hi,

Just seen here in Purmerend the A6-EHJ A340-600 Special thema Etihad.

Kind regards, Jeffrey.
