Lufthansa Quadjet Appreciation Post

With the incoming retirement of the A340-600, I wanted to highlight Lufthansa's remarkable lineup of *five* different four-engined aircraft! Lets enjoy all of these beauties while they're still around!

2 jets following same flight path…one has dark exhaust coming out the back?

Saw this tonight in northern Canada. 2 planes following same path, and one had dark exhaust…looked super weird! Whats going on here?
Only had my iPhone on me…so photo quality sucks.

Est-ce qu’un Cubot P80 + téléobjectif 60× permet de photographier des avions à haute altitude ?

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. ✈️📱

F-86 Sabrejet

Sabrejet

I love a jet-on-a-stick. Here is downtown Goldsboro’s North American F-86 Sabre. America’s first swept-wing jet, nearly 8,000 were made 1949-1956. It was our most important aircraft during the Korean War. This one bears the name of James “Jabba” Jabara, the first American jet ace in history. He eventually scored 15 victories, giving him the title of "triple ace". Jabara was ranked as the second-highest-scoring U.S. ace of the Korean War.

American - 777-200 (BOS)

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!
