Hi,
any of you ever shot a plane that was later involved in an accident?
I have had that experience only last night........when I read the local newspaper!
I shot this plane only a few weeks ago:

Just once that I know of (and it's not good enough to get in the DB). Shot on a rainy evening at LAX:
"Two and a Half Men" was filmed in front of a live ostrich.

Yes - both helicopters.Took a photo of A109 N2NR as it departed my home airport and found out that it crashed an hour later,sadly killing all three onboard.I also have photos of the Police helicopter (G-SEWP) that crashed and was written off whilst surveying the A109 crash site.

Quoting Ljungdahl (Reply 4): Yes, there has been quite a few, some examples here
You might want to stop taking photos of aircraft, Johan, it sounds dangerous!
Here are a couple I know I have:
4X-AXG on the ramp at KJFK in 1981.
N401LH sightseeing helicopter, which collided with a Piper Lance over the Hudson River in August 2009, killing all 9 on the two aircraft.

Quoting planespot (Reply 14): I'm sure you also have the LOT 767 that had a belly landing.
Correct!
And an unrelated conversation this morning reminded me I also shot Jack Roush's Raytheon Premier a few years before its untimely demise at Oshkosh.
And sadly, I lost a friend when this plane went down.
At least no injuries in both cases.
HB-ORA was completely rebuilt and is flying again. And the wreckage of HB-POU was sold and it is planned to rebuild it as well.

I do have post-crash pictures of the last two aircraft, check them out if you want. I don't really like to post them here, although I do disagree with the guy who sent me furious e-mails for publishing them - only here on a.net - at all.

When I first started uploading here, Accident category was selected if an aircraft was subsequently involved in one and it seemed that quite a high proportion of ones I had photographed were later involved in crashes.
This is one I will never forget though, the comment says it all! On its next pass over the airfield it crashed
It crashed on 2nd August 1985 at Dallas Fort Worth killing 135 of the 163 on board. I flew on that aircraft on 4th July 1979 when it was virtually new!

July 28, 2010 Airblue flight ED-202 (AP-BJB) from Karachi to Islamabad arrived in poor weather and crashed in Margalla hills north of Islamabad airport. Tragic loss of life of 152 on board.

Back during the Kosovo "conflict/war" in 99... I was the KC-135 that ferried across the Atlantic the F-117 that was shot down and all over the news. I am not sure if I have a pic of it though. Was sad!

Actually, I shot at Juliana and Grand-Case airports some aircrafts which crashed around in the Caribbean area. The AOM-Cubana DC-10-30 F-GTDI, Cubana's Yak-42D CU-T1285, Air Caraïbes DHC-6-300 F-OGES, Air Saint-Martin B1900D F-OHRK, the Saint-Barthelemy based BN Trilander, Trans Caraïbes Vulcanair P.68 (lost during a hurricane strike) and Air France A340-313 F-GLZQ.
And on the European land the Air France Concorde F-BTSC at Brest some days before its crash.

I have recorded Blue Angel #6, Pan Am Lockerbie N739PA a week before its demise, Untied N612UA, the South Tower Ship on 9/11 and was supposed record the New Legacy belonging to Excelair that was involved in the Gols 737 MidAir over Brazil but it never got here. Odly enough, weeks before my friend shot the Gols New 737 at Seattle on roll out day. Sad and strange...
