It is notoriously difficult to take photographs through aircraft windows especially when taxying so only four pictures have survived today's edit and they are hardly classics. The composition of this picture of American Airlines A319 N839AW at Miami is certainly not classic but it is a little snapshot of the busy ramp at MIA and allows me to note that the most recent AAL livery has grown on me. To see groups of their aircraft at the terminal and in the maintenance area is quite a sight. TZ30_P1040961R

It is notoriously difficult to take photographs through aircraft windows especially when taxying so only four pictures have survived today's edit and they are hardly classics. This shot of Iberia A330-300 EC-LUK is certainly a bit lucky as it was just accelerating down runway 8R. TZ30_P1040972CE

Part of the varied scene at Solent Airport for a couple of weeks now, Cessna F172M G-BEMB. 200_3_P1050063CE

Probably the most photographed visitor to Solent Airport in March 2018, arriving on the 20th, was Cessna 208 Caravan N628JN of Mission Aviation Fellowship. Due to stay for about two weeks in the UK, the aircraft was on a long journey to Bangladesh to work there. The inclusion of the Travis Perkins bulk bag was a difficult editorial decision but it has been part of the scenery at the edge of the apron for some while now. 200_3_P1050066CE
