We haven’t seen this plane for a long time here – it’s called the Red Baron because of its distinct paintjob, but actually this is an Antonov AN2, a huge, single-enigne biplane. It belongs to Albatros Air, a company that does sightseeing flights with it from airports in our region.

I could swear that about two thirds of all planes flying over here are from Air Berlin!

This is the perspective you see most of the small planes buzzing around here from :-).

All politics aside, I still think Aeroflot has one of the most elegant airplane liveries out there.

Sometimes something unusual comes along in the sky, like this vintage red biplane that made a very unfamiliar noise. It’s actually a CASA 1.131E, a spanish version of the Bücker BÜ-131, of which so many were produced since the mid-1930s that lots of them are still around in airworthy condition.

The deep rumbling noise came closer and closer and then the Junkers JU-52 visiting our local airport almost flew directly over my head from behind the house, so I was only able to get this belly shot from behind! TIt’s a perspective of this plane I had never seen before :-).

The Airbus A330 from Air China flies daily, but I rarely get a chanche for a good shot – and this is finally one with an unobscured tail logo, although it was still a bit further away.

I may be out of moons, but not out of planes. Here’s a nice side view of the Dreamliner from ANA!

It wouldn’t be a summer without Cessnas and Pipers in the air.

I’m all out of cloud shots, but I have some planes – so here’s another one of ANA’s Boeing 787!
