I am having a problem with vignetting in photos taken against a clear blue sky. In the most recent cases, they were shot with the Canon 10-22 lens from 10mm to around 15, and I don't notice it as much when photos are shot at 22mm. What is causing this? Is it a problem with the lens or are my shootin...
Jump to postDoes anyone know what the occasion is for the official government plane of the Netherlands to visit Phoenix today? They landed at Luke AFB first and then ferried over to Sky Harbor. I was over at Luke and saw some official looking Suburbans/Tahoes lined up where the plane parked. Couldn't tell from...

Jump to postHow were you able to get a good view? Last I was out there several months back they are building warehouses all along that western side where the planes are and it was all fenced in, off limits and private property. The view from the east side is quite distant.
Jump to postI wonder if I can check the liveatc archives and see if there was a communication with center for that shortcut. I'll have to take a look. I'm pretty sure it would be ZAB but I don't know what sector and if they have a feed from it.
Jump to postAt this point I'm just an armchair flight follower using the apps flightaware & flightradar24 and one thing I've noticed, it seems to happen on almost every flight, is that flights don't stick to the planned route. If you look up a flight on flightaware it lists the routing. Then if I go over to...
Jump to postQuick question about that Air Drake plane. Is that considered Part 135? I know it has 30 seats which is max for a Part 135 flight but the max payload of a 767 is way more than 7,500lbs as required by Part 135.
Jump to postHmmm. It must be a glitch with the jet tip app then. they're listing it as an "E275" type and the E2 designation but there are none of those planes here. I kept trying to figure out what is different about this plane vs the others. LOL
Jump to postI am confused by the E175 E2. I've seen it show up on the app as a rare plane at my airport, and there's always only the same one. N304KM, operated by Envoy for American Eagle. But I can't tell the difference. This plane is listed in the photo db here as just a 175. But there is a listing for the E2...
Jump to postDoes anyone know why there would be an Aussie A330MRTT parked at Cutter or how long they will be here for? There used to be annual drills at Luke so I would assume it is related to that. Usually the Aussies and Belgians come and participate in drills once or twice a year (at different times). Nope....

Jump to postdoes anyone know what plane the Cardinals owner flies? I think he has his own, different than the team plane. And speaking of that, they brought two planes up from Marana today. The familiar Cardinals logo painted plane, and another ex Delta 777 N866DA. Why both? tomorrow they're introducing the new...
Jump to postIf you're wanting to spot, SDL has a bar/restaurant with a view of the runway. Sorry can you elaborate on SDL? google not very specific Scottsdale Airport.

Hey guys, what happened to Breeze Airways? I see the Charleston flight missing for 2 weeks, scheduled for Dec. 17. Are they bailing out a month after starting??
Jump to postI see that they've got a whole flight list scheduled for the Canyon Blue N872CB plane on the flight tracker sites but has it been delivered yet? I see nothing after the Moses Lake/Seattle test flight and then revenue flights. Did they accidentally assign that plane # or did I miss it?
Jump to postWhen does widebody season begin at PHX? Thanks. Third week in December. To an extent it has already begun with AA. AA has 3x 787s daily plus the normal 777 to LHR. DL begins ramping up Thanksgiving week but yes, the majority are the third week of December. Widebody season is already here. American ...

Interesting to see that these china airlines charters are regularly scheduled. Anyone know why?
I wonder why they have to go through LAX on the return?
Jump to postYup. I was talking to a couple guys who were out there and according to them the flight carries company managers over here to check on the progress of the plant and possibly take and/or return some employees from training in Taiwan. Got some nice shots though, I'll be uploading them soon. They also ...
Jump to postDoes anyone know what would bring a large plane from Taiwan to Phoenix today? Is there some special event going on?

Jump to postI see that both of the retro livery planes flew today from Renton over to BFI with a 3 hour shakedown flight. They're getting closer to delivery! BFI is where the delivery center is.
Jump to postI just saw mention that Southwest is also only able to take 66 MAX8 Aircraft this year instead of the original 114 deliveries due to supply chain shortages at Boeing.

Jump to postN8778Q was just delivered BFI-PHX. N8773Q is currently enroute to be delivered as WN8510. Wow, I don't know how I missed that! My flightradar24 alert showed me that 8773 was on the way but I couldn't make it to the airport because of work, and I never saw the alert for 8778 but that one arrived dur...
Jump to postThe latest new bird is on the property now. N8772M. Looks like they skipped 8769 and 8770, and of course 871HK still under construction, and I haven't seen 8766.

N8620H and N8619F are still flying around in their Canyon Blue colors, does anyone have an idea on when they will hit the paint shop to get their new special liveries?

Jump to postSouthwest 7M8 N8767M delivered this morning BFI-PHX as WN8500. I've noticed in the number sequence they skipped 8766. Is that one just delayed? After they delivered 8765 we got 8767, and the airlinerlist source shows that there is an 8768Q which is probably the next one but no 8766. They have all t...

Would this picture get cut due to sun glare off of the windows? What is the general rule for glare - no glare allowed at all? N8575Z_6330.jpg *sorry for the duplicate. I tried to edit the original post because it doesn't look like the attachment photo linked - it won't let me delete this duplicate.

Jump to postWhen I listen to an ATC clearance they'll say something like "expect flight level three eight zero one zero minutes after departure..." but it (probably, based on my experience) almost always takes much longer, like close to 30 minutes, to reach FL380.

Jump to postAny tips or suggestions on taking pictures during the summer? Are there any spots that are better? Do photos have a bad problem with heat distortion here?
Jump to postNever seen photos of PHX overhead either, but MIA and LHR have been done, so why not PHX? Worth a shot I'd say. Does PHX have a VFR corridor running overhead/next to the airport? I found this PHX Class B chart and it looks like there is an east and west transition route but those I think are for tr...
Jump to postI am curious about doing it at PHX. Has anyone done it there? Does ATC allow it? Since the terminal layout between 2 sets of runways is similar to LAX I don't see why it could not happen. But I have yet to see a photo.
Jump to postAll the news media is reporting this is an 18+ or 19 hour flight but the actual flight time is way less. In fact, at 17:10 currently, there are probably a half dozen flights that are a little bit longer than this! Tomorrow's SQ22 is only planned at 18:05. The return flight is showing 16:44. So if to...
