Because of Air Shows, we have chosen only a few airliners this week, making our choice very diversified!
I shall try gather them by category, it might be difficult. I'd better let the photos speak for themselves!
A French Centrair glider, in flight, and a T-6 that looks like a "Zero" to start with:
Two Aviojets crossing, a close-up on a French Mirage 2000N and a Dutch F-16 at the Orange air show, last week. Then, a French Air ForceAlpha Jet, with a special colour scheme for the millionth flight hour!
Let's finish with a few airliners or bizjets, the largest being a Regional Airlines ERJ-190.
There you go; it is over now. See you on next Monday for our weekly Screeners' Choice.
As It was explained in a previous article on May 18th, we must perform a second technical maintenance on our web infrastructure.
Therefore, Pictaero will be inaccessible for most of Sunday morning; that is to say Sunday June 1st (CET - GMT+1).
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
This week's choice is quite short, due to the fact that the team members have nearly all chosen the same photos!
And aside from a DR-400 (with which I shall start) and a Mirage 2000, there are only airliners!
Single-aisles now; for instance an old JAT - Yugoslav Airlines' _737_ or a superb SkyEurope 737-700!
Then, all alone is a Luzair TriStar on Paris - Charles de Gaulle apron!
Finally are two military aircraft, one of which is a Mirage 2000B with great lighting effect!
That's about it for the week. See you on next Monday then for our weekly Screeners' Choice.
This morning, between 9am and 11am, we had to perform a heavy network maintenance.
To be able to welcome many more users, and as fast as possible, we are trying to set up a new technical architecture within the coming weeks (the precise date will be given shortly).
So as to prepare the maintenance in the best conditions, we had to perform technical changes on certain sensitive points, such as picture management.
Unfortunately, an error was made during the maintenance. We had to suspend the picture upload temporarily until 11:30am CET (10:30am UTC).
We would like to apologize for that interruption. As you know, we are trying to do our best to restore the website's access, for you to enjoy great service amongst us.
You may encounter some error messages during the next 24 hours (especially while viewing photos), but do not pay attention to them. That is part of this morning's operation.
We will keep you informed when we plan on changing the technical structure in the coming weeks.
Yet another long week-end and I am being late once again! I might be even later than Airbus is with their A380 delayed deliveries!
In my basket this week are airliners and a few rare planes, a few decades old!
So, here are two aircraft from the French Air Force; a Mirage IIIC flying over the Mediterranean Sea and a C-135F with its former cigar-shaped engines!!
Complete change of atmosphere now with shots taken at Biscarosse 12th International Air Show. Shown here is Jean-Jacques Lörtscher's yellow Twin Bee and the Cessna Caravan that flew all week-end!
Now, before I show you the rest, here are three pictures by Claude de Saint Etienne who is leaving us; he is moving in the Centre of France and will not be able to go to Paris-Orly any longer. However, we wish him a peaceful life there, but we still hope to see him round occasionally!
Eventually, classical aircraft: an A310 being scrapped, an An-12 et a fully-red Britten-Norman BN-2!
See you on next Monday for our weekly Screeners' Choice (if I am not late).
