The Screeners' Choice is back this week after restful holidays, although many Champagne bottles were opened! Many thanks to the spotters who did not eat and drink (too much) and dropped by at Pictaero.com to upload their pictures and share them with us all!
Our choice is mainly composed of airliners, so I shall start with the only photo that is a military aircraft: a Mirage 2000C uploaded by Laurent Guilcher.
Now, let's start the bigger piece; an Etihad A340-600, an Air France 777 and a school of NorthWest Airlines tails at Amsterdam. Then, smaller birds: a Swiss A320 in the night at Geneva and an Air Caraibes ATR-72.
As a Christmas Pudding, I suggest you take two photos by Yvan Panas and Hervé G taken during the Christmas holidays taken at Toulouse-Blagnac airport, near the Airbus site. The A380 on the left is the second aircraft to be delivered to Singapore Airlines within a few days. The A380 on the right-hand side is MSN010 which has just left to Hamburg for interior furnishing.
I hope you have enjoyed our coming back in 2008. I am expecting your comments and I will see you again on next MOnday for our weekly Screeners' Choice!
2007 is over. We have finally finished eating turkey, foie gras, oysters and Christmas pudding!
As you may know, 2007 saw the birth of Pictaero. After studying the market and worked on what you can see right now, we came across a huge amount of work. And, on behalf of the whole team, I would like to thank you for your loyalty: More and more are joining the community. Pictaer's success is the greatest gift you have given us!
2007 was a dense year in the aeronautical industry with record sales for the main manufacturers, first delivery and entry in service for the A380, ... However, a few events reminded us that everything cannot be perfect: accidents, deaths, lay-offs, ...
2008 will see the coming of many more surprises on Pictaero for you: more photos, more options, ... So, see you soon.
Hoping you had a great time for your holidays!
We have prepared a shorter choice for this week since a few of us have already left on holiday or are too busy on this week before Christmas. We still have some great ones
Let's start with airliners, in great number today! First of all, out from the Airbus assembly lines, an A320 for Thai AirAsia with a special colour scheme. Then, an A330-200 for Qantas, delivered a few days ago. Finally, an Edelweiss A320, an Aeroflot A320 and a Qantas 737.
Eventually, two special pictures: a Dassault MD-312 taxiing and a T-28's engine:
Well, that is all for today and for 2007! The Screeners' Choice will be on holiday for three weeks. We shall see each other again on January 7th 2008 with a brand new Screeners' Choice. Happy Holiday season to you all!
I shall let you discover our weekly choice by yourself. Not too varied actually; a lot of airliners and a very special helicopter!
First of all, the smaller ones:
Done with airliners! Finally, one of our favourites: a Kaman K-1200!
That's all in the bag for today. See you next Monday for our weekly Screeners' Choice!
This week's choice is mainly an anthology of Cargolux's 747! I would like to thank Emmanuel PEREZ for his pictures!
However, that is not all on the agenda! We shall start with Antonov planes, such as the An-225 visiting Toulouse-Blagnac for a heavy loading.
Now come Cargolux's 747 pictures. I have also put a 747 belonging to Air France, lost in the middle of the fog in Paris!
I have almost forgotten about the weekly Airbus airliners! An A330 and the A300-600ST, nicknamed Beluga, seen from behind!
Eventually, two wonderful pictures of prop planes; a MS-230 et a B-25!
That's all on this first Monday of December. So, see you soon for our weekly Screeners' Choice!
