||
| Wed 1st Apr 2009 Heathrow visit Although Heathrow is only 20 minutes down the M25 (when it's quiet), I hardly ever visit here. Some nice weather and easterly winds meant this was the day for it. This collection gives you a flavour of what can be seen at the world's busiest international airport |
||
| Tue 17th Feb 2009 Florida 2009 My 3rd visit to Florida to coincide with the Miami Boat Show and President's Day weekend. First visits to Naples (APF) and Fort Myers (RSW). Eclipse pictures are dedicated to Brian who hates them. Gulfstreams are in their own collection. |
||
| Sat 31st Jan 2009 Zurich and WEF 2009 Another trip to Zurich for the World Economic Forum and the biz and jets associated with it. Visited from 29th to 31st. Pics 1-51 are Thursday, 52-84 are Friday and 85-120 are Saturday. It was freezing when we arrived and didn't get any warmer. No sunshine this year but the terrace on Terminal E made up for it. Gulfstream pics moved to the 2009 collection. |
||
| Wed 7th Jan 2009 Gulfstreams (2009) The 5th annual collection of my favourite jets. The first Gulfstream 2 flew on 2nd October 1966 (over 40 years ago) and these jets have been in continuous production ever since. More than 1500 have been built to date. These are a few of them. There are some more old shots in the Golden Oldies collection as well as the 2005 , 2006 , 2007 and 2008 collections.

| Tue 25th Nov 2008 Las Vegas 2008 A trip to Vegas from 15th to 25th November for some winter sunshine and some biz. Supposed to be the 2nd busiest biz field in the US. Amazed at the amount of military seen. Most Gulfstreams already in their own collection.
As well as McCarran, Henderson (HND) and Las Vegas North (VGT) were visited. |
||
| Fri 1st Aug 2008 Embraer Legacy The Legacy is a derivative of the Brazilian built EMB-135/145 airliner. The executive version is becoming very popular now and has recently been rebranded as the Legacy 600. |
||
| Wed 16th Jul 2008 Farnborough 2008 A day out to this bi-annual air show. Difficult to get good static shots so concentrated on the comings and goings. Shots of the Israeli G550CAEW now moved to the Gulfstream collection. |
||
| Sat 12th Jul 2008 Amsterdam 2008 A visit to Amsterdam for the day with Easyjet. Quite a bit has changed since my last visit 3 years ago although the excellent viewing terrace remains the same. Weather not great first thing but improved as the day went on. |
||
| Fri 23rd May 2008 Geneva and EBACE 2008 EBACE is now a regular date on my calendar with this being my 5th visit. Weather was not great on Tuesday and Wednesday but was better on Thursday.

Gulfstream and Legacy pics are now in their own collections. |
