All in all pretty good year for me. I've got more than 10 top pictures in 2006. I'll try to post only most important things, but its gonna be hard to pick only few :)
I have to split my stuff in two categories. "Catch of the year/needed frame", and "Special colors and markings"
My two most important planes that I've got in 2006 are China Air Force B733 and USX PSA CRJ-700 in Star Alliance colors. For this PSA CRJ I drove over 6 hours each way just to get it :) Enjoy :)

Here are my top 10, in no particular order. They are a mix of unusual or rare (at least for me) subjects, and shots that I just really like :D
From way back last January - USAF C-20 arriving at LGA
http://moose135.smugmug.com/photos/85856454-L.jpg
I think most of you have seen this before...maybe my favorite shot from 2006
http://moose135.smugmug.com/photos/112836874-L.jpg
Why I like the JFK cargo area
http://moose135.smugmug.com/photos/96090441-L.jpg
My first time seeing AF1, almost missed this shot
http://moose135.smugmug.com/photos/94487100-L.jpg
How does an airplane with vertical take off and landing capabilities overrun the runway?
http://moose135.smugmug.com/photos/86019736-L.jpg
First JetBlue visit to FRG
http://moose135.smugmug.com/photos/93927121-L.jpg
Fat Albert making a run at the beach!

Here are my top choices...
I love this pose by T7 (this was AA167 coming from hard stand to gate for my 14h 20m hop to RJAA!)
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/N774ANlr.jpg
Highlight of WSSS spotting... I even let go georgeous WMKK to arrive overnight to shoot this bird.... my first sighting :D
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/Airbus3801lr.jpg
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/Airbus380lr.jpg
I love special colors, especially when they are in perfect light & angle.
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/HS-TEKlr.jpg
Another superb colorscheme...
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/A40-LJ.jpg
And this was @ Singapore! GA has 7 flights in 3 hours with 737/330/and even 747!
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/GarudaTailsatWSSS.jpg
WMKK is simply AMAZING
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/9M-AAXlr.jpg
My favourite airline :D
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/B-HLTlr.jpg
Intersection Departures are great @ WMKK :D , even greater when its Star Alliance going back for a long 43 mins hop back to WSSS!
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/9V-SRElr.jpg
How can one go wrong from such a view from the hotel room!
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/KLIATower1lr-1.jpg
Habiscus just leaving terra ferma as MH001 to London (long haul flights rotate just in front of you :D )
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/9M-MPBlr.jpg
CYYZ in June,
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/C-FYLDlr.jpg
Note the KLM Jumbo lifting off the parallel!
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RChangela/CGWSAjprrc.jpg
Happy New Year to all and wishing sunny skies & good spotting 2007 to the members.

No, I rarely use automatic - I usually use Aperture priority when shooting. Looking at the exif from the shots that day, it looks like that was how I was shooting.
