Lufthansa’s first production Boeing 777-9, returning to Paine Field (PAE) on October 6, 2026, after its sixth test flight.
The head-on angle shows the engines and wing flex, with mist flowing over the aircraft beneath cloudy skies. The clip continues through touchdown.
The flight crossed the Pacific Northwest and included a test run over Montana before returning to PAE.
Do you prefer filming head-on approaches or side-on landings?

Paine Field (KPAE)

Found this special American Airlines Livery at CLT, Charlotte, NC TODAY.

N167AN, an Airbus A321-231, arriving at CLT from IAH - Houston at about 11:50am.

This was the first time that I went to EWR to spot planes, ever since then I have gotten better with the camera settings and timing. This is a couple of years old hence Spirit still flying.

Salut ! 👋

Je voudrais me lancer dans le plane spotting depuis chez moi et photographier des avions qui passent à très haute altitude.

J’ai un Cubot P80 et je pensais acheter ce téléobjectif Apexel 60× (voir photo). Est-ce que cette combinaison peut donner de bons résultats pour photographier des avions en vol, ou est-ce que le résultat risque d’être trop flou/sombre ?

Est-ce que certains ici utilisent un smartphone + téléobjectif pour le plane spotting ?

Je suis preneur de conseils sur le matériel et les réglages. ✈️📱

Went down to the area again and tried to get better lighting. Did a bit of editing but I’m not very good as you can tell. Looking for any and all feedback! Thank you!
