Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: Airbus

This is my repaint of Mike Stone's Airbus A330-300 into CSA, or Czech Airlines, livery. Because I haven't got his permission to distribute it, I haven't, but at the very least I wanted one for my AI traffic files for Ruzyne (Vaclav Havel) airport. I've tried to take a screenshot that resembles my previous photo of the actual plane, but it was hard getting a good angle in the simulator. It's in roughly the same spot at Ruzyne, but I've had to angle the camera back diagonally. One other inaccuracy is that the A330-323X that CSA have acquired has Pratt & Whitney engines, not Rolls Royce engines. Oh well....I don't really have the time to build a new model.

Changing transport modes for one shot, I spotted this A380 (or what looks like one) from my train into Frankfurt. If my spotting is right (please correct me if I'm wrong) this marked only the second time that I managed to get a photo of an A380, after I photographed the very first one built in Paris Charles De Gaulle some years ago. Although I can't prove it, I'm assuming this one is operated by Lufthansa, as they are the primary operator of the A380 at Frankfurt am Main airport.

This was another shot that I took of the A380 with the next roll of film. Unfortunately, I had to change rolls as it was taxiing towards us, but luckily, it was going very slow. This might be my best of the bunch.

This isn't the best photo that I got on the day I was in CDG, but it's the only one I have developed right now. This is the one and only Airbus A380 that Air France currently operates, which makes it the largest airliner in service in the world (unless some other airlines have received deliver of their A380's). This plane was significant enough so that the flight crew made an announcement on our A330 that it was coming, so I finished the roll of film with this shot. Once I develop the next roll, I'll have better shots.
