| Gloomy day, but I wanted to catch that KUZU flight Peter mentioned earlier today... You can see the light changing from shot to shot. So here it goes: Cessna 560XL Citation Excel performing a windy landing:  Delivery flight for that Beechcraft:  Cessna 551 Citation II/SP:  Another Hawker Beechcraft B200 King Air:  Luxembourg Air Rescue MD Helicopters MD-902 Explorer entering the airfield:  And finally the ULS Cargo Airbus A300B4-203(F):  I secretly hoped for the KUZU green livery, but I settled for this one too:  Pretty for an 1980 aircraft:  One final sight before I had to go:  That's all for today folks. See you around! And thank you a lot, Peter. |

| strange weather indeed! Some nice visitors though. I decided to do a last minute position change for the Kuzu/ULS Airbus as the light on approach was not really good. two pics:   Peter |

| Touch down! Love your shots. I saw you leave in a rush and I had the feeling that you wanted to be next to P7. Worked out pretty good I'd say. C ya. |

| Good shots in these weather conditions. Well done!
Olivier:
My favourite is the Beechcraft with its beautiful unsharp propellers. Which speed did you use ? Less than 1/100 s ? And wich ISO settings (100 ?) ? Under sunny conditions is rather difficult or even impossible to go under 1/100 s. I suppose the bad light did help. |

| Dany: Indeed, for the first Beechcraft (N8036Q), I had forgotten to bring my speed down. I always select my speed when I am shooting planes. For the second one, I used 1/125th of a sec @ 160 ISO to get the nice effect on the propeller. |

| Thanks for your reply. The proppellers of beechcraft had probabbly a higher rotation speed than those of the Luxair Q400 where one still can see the blades. Or 1/125 th of a sec is longer on your camera than on my camera.  |

| No it depends how fast they are revving. The Beechcraft's pilot gave a bit of gas to bring his plane in alignment with the runway fighting the crosswinds. Hence the nice effect. Got lucky. |
