Tidings good sirs. I thought now would be a truely amazing time to share a few images of the photographic variety with you gents. These were taken last week when myself and the good Captain boarded our fine stallion of the skies for a brisk flight. The main goal of this undertaking was to get some fine pictures of the treshold of the runway on landing, but as Chief Photographer General, I managed to snap a few more of our boring landscape. So without further ado..
Let us begin with a picture of the man himself. Our mighty fine Maverick who managed to forget his pilots licence on the only day he was required to have it! ho ho! Isn't he a fine gent though?
This is our workhorse. Many an hour this fine vessel has spent dancing on laughters silvered wings. To be honest it terrified me, but the good Captain came to my aid, informing me of it's safety. Just in time too!
This is the cockpit of the aircraft. Very 70's, but comfortable nonetheless.
Two minutes after take-off we reach the foot of the River Bann. Quite impressive from this height, quite smelly and stagnant from up close. We can blame those pesky farmers causing intensive eutrophication in our fine environment. Shower of shites they are.
Portmore Lough about 15 minutes in. Portmore Lough is situated at the south-east corner of Lough Neagh in County Antrim, about 20 miles (32 km) from Belfast. It's a nature reserve as far as I know.
Mist rolling in over the Sperrin Mountains in County Tyrone on the west shoreline of Lough Neagh. This picture did not turn out as well as I had hoped it would. It was truely a beautiful site.
Holding over Portmore Lough to allow a FlyBE Dash-8 to touch and go. Looked to be a training excercise for the pilot. As you can see in this picture, our fine Captain is still at the helm of this great juggernaut of steel and grit.
The mighty fine runway of EGAA, 54° 39′ 27″ N 006° 12′ 56″ W. Here we are at about ~1.3 mile out.
Closer still. I seem to have focused on the rain splatter in this picture by accident. It had so much potential too!
And here she is, the piece de resistance. I had to stand up to take this picture and was holding the camera at an odd angle to get a good shot. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Hooray!
So there you have it. A thread. Enjoy!
