More than 170 photos were uploaded last week! This sets a record, but we hope to break it by next Sunday!
We really had a real variety last week.
We may begin with general aviation and bizjets this week!
First of all, a rare aircraft: a Transat Aerolac MD 03! Never heard of it before? I hadn't either until I saw the picture! Many thanks to Antonio for the photograph!
Then, a Yak52, a Pitts S-1 and a Beech 200.
Right, a few A380 pictures now right before the first delivery of the aircraft to Singapore Airlines for its commercial entry in service! To view all the pictures for MSN021's convoy, click here
Finally, Airbus planes, a 747 et a Do-328! For instance, a Czech Republic A319ACJ came to Toulouse on October 9th!
That's all we have got this week. We hope to have even more pictures to view for next week, including photos fromthe A380 delivery in our weekly Screeners' Choice!
Pictaero opened just over a month ago, and today the 1,000th picture was screened and accepted.
More and more of you are visiting and signing up on Pictaero; uploading photographs, collaborating to the online content, sending your comments ...
We would really like to thank you all for that!
The uploading process has been revised according to your suggestions and we hope to set up - very soon - the pictures' positioning and many other surprises we are working on at the moment.
Do not hesitate to contact us to send us your needs, your comments and what you would like to see on Pictaero.com.
The whole team is tuned in to its members!
Overall, nearly 1,450 photos have been uploaded by all the registered members since the website was opened. We will let you know for the 10,000th photograph online!
This week, I have decided to start with a brand new aircraft that has not been seen yet: the first A320 for LAN Airlines. Then, you may see the first ATR delivered to Aer Arann in April 2007.
Many thanks to Yvan for that new A320!
Then, two rare aircraft; a USAF DC-9 visiting Toulouse-Blagnac (LFBO/TLS) and a Bell 301 during its flight display at the Paris air show in 1981!!!
It is the props' turn now. Old aircraft and not as old (but nothing that new)! Fokker, Constellation and Lightning.
Finally, two unusual photographs; one for the plane's colour, the other for the colour in the background!
That is it for today. See you on next Monday for our weekly Screeners' Choice!
Four different categories this week.
We have chosen a large number of Airbus aircraft to start with! Both for their quality and their composition, such as an A319 wing taken in flight, with a beautiful sunset, and an A330 in front of threatening stormy clouds!
Concorde - when it showed up - still is a thrilling plane, although it is no longer in the air!
Before we finish, let us stop at a selection of light aircraft, some of which are very rare in the Western world!
Finally, not knowing where to place those two pictures, a photograph of a Dassault Rafale B, during the Bex Air Show, and a EuroAir MD-83, providing Aegean with a temporary uplift capacity!
Once again, thank you to all of you and see you next time for our Weekly Screeners' Choice!
Good evening,
As you may have noticed, Pictaero has encountered a few technical problems since Saturday 22nd September. In fact, because of a configuration problem on our main server, sending pictures was impossible.
We have just finished mending it an hour ago because repairing it was long and difficult (we had to find the problem - which was very complex - and correct it).
Everything is settled now! If you tried to upload pictures within that period of time, you will find the list of the pictures that could not be uploaded on the upload form: Then, click on "Continue" to proceed your upload.
We would like to apologize for any inconvenience, we tried everything we could to keep the website online and available.
David, on behalf of the whole Pictaero team.
