My aviation photos (image heavy!)

(1/3) > >>

Dysko:
Since I was asked to show my photos, here are some of them. The quality may vary greatly since I modified many times my shooting and editing techniques. I'll split the thread in several "thematic" posts, the first dedicated to commercial airports.

My usual "hunting ground" is Linate airport, Milan's city airport. I call it "Home of the Mad Dog" since it is one of the few Italian airports where the MD-80 can still be seen.






The main company is Alitalia, but there are some other major European companies.






Since it's the commercial airport closest to Milan, there are many business jets and helicopters, especially during the Grand Prix of Italy (the Monza racetrack is only 10 kms away).










And sometimes there are nice surprises :D


When I want to take photos of "big guys", I go to Malpensa, Milan's intercontinental airport.








There are some enthusiasts organizations that allow us to enter in the tower for guided visits...


...or in the apron for special occasions, like the first A380 in Italy.


Malpensa was also the first European commercial destination of the 747-8:


Other airports where I've been are Orio al Serio, Milan's low-cost-carriers airport...




...and Genoa, an airport on the sea near Italy's most important port. There is often traffic related to cruise ships:

Dysko:
Obviously, I can't miss airshows... I'll refer many times to the RSV: it's an acronyim for Reparto Sperimentale Volo (Test Flight Wing), a wing of the Italian Air Force tasked with pushing the envelope of military aircraft (yes, they are the ones who make rolls with transport planes!)

Some shots from Frecce Tricolori's 50th Anniversary:

Then one of the few good shots I could take at Fliegerschiessen Axalp 2010...


A small airshow in Venegono airport, where the Aermacchi factory is located, organized by the local flying club with RC planes...


..historic planes...




..autogyros...


...and general aviation planes.


Another airshow in Venegono, this time organized by Aermacchi.

Sorry for the long posts, but I couldn't decide what to show you :)
Thank you for watching!
