VH-KDK Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 We used to see the Pan Am 722s at LHR on our spotting trips. One of the highlights of the day. First seen from the viewing platform on the Queen's Building, when we used to get the Royal Blue up from Bournemouth and then once I had a car, from the top of car Park 3 (I think). How times have changed. And we ain't finished yet! FTX GEN, Trees, P3Dv4, Freeware TDS B722, REX TD EE. 4. Departing from EDDH Hamburg Fuhlsbuttel.

paulb Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Gosh Martyn, I, like you, have such fond memories of spotting trips and airshows. How times have changed. Even at my local airport (Cardiff) you used to be able to get onto the roof for a great view. Its not allowed nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I flew on a Pan Am 727 in the mid 90s to Vegas, one of my favorite type of airliner. Great shot Martyn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great times Paul, used to be able to get around the hangars of most of the GA airports we visited in the UK with the instructions of look but don't touch. I got permission from to very nice Feds to take photos from behind the fence at Canberra a few years ago as long as I didn't use a zoom lens. Still spooked the locals though with one following us for quite a distance. Got some great snaps though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shot Martyn! They were nice to fly in Adam. I had a few flights on Ansett 722s including one trip from Darwin to Melbourne via Adelaide. What a great flight that was.

Cheers John I can remember getting sent home from school in Bournemouth for having hair too long. I read in the Bournemouth Echo last week how some pupils were sent home for having hair too short.

Jack Sawyer Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Wish I had a dime for every 727 I flew on and worked on. This shot Martyn, is one of your best so far. Nice jet and the scenery, weather, colors, all perfect. I wouldn't touch a thing now, in my opinion you're dialed in perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
