N478CT Around this time of year, making a morning run to IAH is really not in one's favor as the light simply isn't on the photographers "side". So I thought to myself... would it be worth it to make a quick run to IAH to catch the "Big A" even though I knew the light would not be in my favor... I think it was :-) [Canon EOS 30D + EF 100-400 L IS USM] (mehr von N478CT)
Wishing something bigger would cross my lens, I had to settle for one of the hundreds of COEX ERJ's we see here at IAH. [Canon EOS 300D + EF 100-400 L IS USM]
F-GZCO Inaugural night flight for AF 31 (IAH-CDG). As of today AF will operate two (almost) daily flights into Houston. [Canon EOS 300D + EF 100-400 L IS USM] (mehr von F-GZCO)

VP-BBJ Seen in it's new livery and heading straight from Houston to Geneva!! Wish I caught this rare bird in better weather. [Canon EOS 300D + EF 100-400 L IS USM] (mehr von VP-BBJ)
HB-JJA I think I was the only IAH spotter to see this brand new beauty leave on it's inaugural business flight back to AMS. KLM will have 5 business flights a week and this Privatair BBJ will be operating these flights as KL 663/664. Thanks goes out to my wife for sticking it out with me quite late on a work night to see this beauty leave :-) [Canon EOS 300D + EF 100-400 L IS USM] (mehr von HB-JJA)
F-GSQJ Late afternoon sun shining on this LONG beauty. Will be a nice change to see AF operating the CDG route with their bigger T7. [Canon EOS 300D + EF 100-400 L IS USM] (mehr von F-GSQJ)
F-GSQG Just the usual AF 777 pictured here at IAH.... O' Contraire!! AF teased us spotters today as flight 36 was operated by a B773. Although the B773 is not scheduled to operate AF 36/33 until the end of the month, this sure was a nice surprise :-) [Canon EOS 300D + EF 100-400 L IS USM] (mehr von F-GSQG)
UR-82060 Man O Man, Have I been waiting to see this beast!! We do see our share of Antonov 124's here in Houston, but today we were very lucky and got a rare glimpse of this beautiful and majestic cargo giant :-) Flight 995F operating CWF-IAH.

B-2055 While only on the Westchester Bridge for less than 10 minutes, we have our 1st out of 3 run in's with LAX Police. We kindly explain to the officer that we are just visting from Houston and would like to catch a specific flight that we can only get today as it does not come in on Sat and we leave on Sunday too early to get it again. He kindly says we can stay but only till it arrives.... 30 mins later here she is arriving as China Southern 327 Heavy from Guangzhou. [Canon EOS 300D + EF 100-400 L IS USM] (mehr von B-2055)
9V-SGC Had to put down my delicious Cheesburger and grab my camera as this giant soared on by operating as Singapore 20 from Changi. The view from the infamous In & Out is a spotters dream come true. One can enjoy good eats, good times, and of course great spotting. This place is a must visit while in LA. (mehr von 9V-SGC)
