Some older (pre- '09) stuff...

[Hussman75]

Hi all... Been a few weeks since I've posted anything. Figured since I really can't get out for much
spotting (quality or otherwise) around these parts, I'd post up some of my work taken prior to 2009-
my pre- NYCA days... Some 737's to start, will follow up with other types at regular intervals!

Enjoy!

-Brian

I'm Loving that last 732 Aloha!!! SWEET!

[cancidas]

i agree with fred, that aloha is great! i also love the angle on that AAL 738.

[Hussman75]

Thanks, fellas! I wish I had a better shot of the Aloha Funbird, but the rest are as- if not more- heat hazed than what's posted. Was a real treat seeing her that day, especially since Aloha is no longer with us... The AA bird was taken at MIA, about 700 feet east of the 94th Aero Sq parking lot, out in the grass, which gives great angles on 12 departures... Just wish we could still park in the pull off area- made walking just a tad easier when they were landing on 30!

[jerslice]

I love the Aloha 732 and the M(R)etro 732.

[Hussman75]

Thanks man! Wish I'd had the chance to take more of MetroJet, but timing worked against me back then...

Here's a few more for general consumption... Some 727's from the late '90's and up to about 2003. Mostly scans of photo negatives or slides, and also some of my earliest computer edits, so the quality isn't so great...

Too many to point out....great collection, Huss. My favorite though has got to be the T-43.

[flyboy 28]

Hot stuff, man. Really a ton of awesome captures. :borat:

[Hussman75]

Too many to point out....great collection, Huss. My favorite though has got to be the T-43.

Thanks as always, Phil! The T-43 is one that forever sticks in my mind, as they used Lackland-Kelly for radar patterns, given it's location and deconfliction from both SAT and the swarms of T-37's, T-38's and T-1's that would dominate the pattern at Randolph. As a basic trainee, the 'Gator was forever flying radar downwinds almost right over my dorm (barracks), day or night, and eventually my flight gained enough lattitude to where I could take a few seconds glance up and wish I had a camera- without incurring the rath of my TI! Sharp memories from a time when this career was a fun adventure as opposed to the mental puzzle it has become...


Hot stuff, man. Really a ton of awesome captures.

Glad you like them! Stay tuned for more!

A couple to keep everyone interested tonight...

Another bunch to add tonight... Going to delve into the widebody arena this time!
(all but one shot are scans...)

Start off with a few 747's...

Will post some MD-11's and L-1011's in the next few days... Enjoy!

[moose135]

Great stuff, Brian! Thanks for sharing.

[Ychocky]

Beauty.

Loving the Dash 8 and the Hairdryer quad (Bae 146)

I never realized that VS livery was used on their 747-200's. When I last flew them from Newark they had the white (Ivory?) body, red tail and grey titles, and that was 2000!

Lovely stuff, thanks for sharing :)

[Hussman75]

Moose- No problem! It's pretty fun to go sifting thru the archives looking for stuff that might catch a few eyes... Glad you like them so far!

Ychocky- Glad you like that shot of the two "slowpokes" out on the ramp! Virgin took about 8 Rolls powered -200's off the used market (mostly from Air NZ, but a few from Cathay) between '98 and '01, as cheap and available lift to cover their eastern US routes, while the -400's and A-340s were used to expand the network on longer haul sectors. If memory serves, from '99-'01, Newark saw two of these a day, with occasional subs by their few remaining Pratt powered bretheren.

You aren't hallucinating! The Rollls birds WERE painted in the traditional arctic white & bright red with gray lettering on delivery, but most of them were re-painted in the silver/red well prior to being sold on or sent to the desert. I believe that the 1 or 2 Rolls birds that were delivered in late '00/ early '01, may have been delivered in the new colors directly from the paint shop, but the original 6 came painted red & white. (I'd have to spend a while browsing A.Net to verify the last two deliveries, but for some reason that seems to stick out in my memory...)

[Jetinder]

The 727s and DC 10s looks very cool, the Aloha 737 looks cute.

[Hussman75]

...the Aloha 737 looks cute.

Cute? That'd be the first time I've EVER heard an airplane described with that particular word!
Thanks for the compliment and for giving me a chuckle, as well... :lol:

[Hussman75]

Been a few days, and thought I'd add a few more shots to the thread... MD-11's, L-1011's and a few Turboprops... Hope you like 'em!

NOW WERE TALKING!!!!
The L-10 is one hot looking plane!!!
I agree with the Classic 732 being cute, it all just looks Right!
The dc 10s just look beefy, the 767 looks bloated, 757 looks like Linsy Lohan, the dc9 looks cute and the maddog looks like somone got tired of making aircraft but wanted more seats! 747 looks like a fat $&@! But still very elegant, the the a380 just looks ugly. 707 looks like a Racer and the 727 looks like a lawn dart.

But now let's see more L10's!!!! That is one sexy bi!ch right there!!!!!

[Hussman75]

Alrighty, Fred... I have a few more of the "Sexy Bitch" to whet your appetite... Not great quality, but
not so bad, either... Enjoy, man!

Glad you like it! It about blew my mind when it showed up that day, as I'd had no clue that EI
had leased in an L-1011- fully painted- much less operating it into EWR. Wish I'd been able
to get some more shots of her, but three frames was all lady luck handed me that summer...

Well... Figure it's about time to close this one! Last posting, going to go variety here, and just post a bunch of random stuff... Hope everyone's enjoyed!
