Trying out my new camera at FRA-airport

[Micha]

I bought a new camera on Saturday (Fujifilm S6500fd), so of course I just had to try it out while plane spotting on Sunday Here are some pictures - I'm pretty pleased. The pictures were resized only and since it was typical dark February weather, the result is pretty good IMO.

What, no Air Canada 767, I am upset . I get into FRA at least once every 2 months

Cheers

Nope - haven't seen one Sunday afternoon is usually the territory of Asian airlines, but even they were scarce this Sunday

Excellent pics, Micha ... I take it you took the pictures from the vantage point near the A5?

Yup!

Nice pictures.
And I'm a little amazed to see one of those Russian classics. Isn't that a Tupolev 152? I don't think we get them in Amsterdam anymore. Maybe the noise restrictions are tighter? I wouldn't want to fly one, but I love to see them flying.

Very nice shots! I like that "old-style" Lufthansa paint scheme.

It's a Tu-154. AFAIK it's the same here in FRA, but it's a Russian governmental aircraft. I guess they got a special permit.

Ditto - I wouldn't mind seeing more of those
