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.

Post by Maikel van der Heijden »

Good day all,

To kick of 2011 as a spotting year I visited Frankfurt (FRA/EDDF) on the 3rd of January with a friend.

We got in the car at 03:30am and arrived around 8 o’clock, just in time for the sunrise. Weather forecast wasn’t good but it turned out to be a lot better than predicted. Temperature was all day around freezing point. We did see 3 of the 4 A380’s Lufthansa currently has so that’s not bad.
