[Greg]

well mostly SWA 737's over the house, got a L1011 today. Later I'll see the BA 767 and then the Aer Lingus A330. :D Maybe an Air Jamaica A310 Hooters comes in at 1:50 still in school then. :(

[MeltedPixel]

the only planes i have come over my house are ones with contraisl up at FL300+
We also have a couple local airports, and we have a ton of Cessnas come in.
I saw around 30 planes in 3 hours today, consisting of planes with contrials, commercial airliners without contrails, and smaller aircraft.

[B777-400]

I never get planes over my house...sigh

a few days ago...just one Air Canada A320 flew overhead

[Alohajet]

Meltedpixel those airplanes at 35K are the kinds that I'm spotting.

[N391DA]

I was out today for about an hour... saw a CRJ, ERJ, and some MD-80 series aircraft and a couple of bizjets.

LGA/JFK/EWR departures to Boston
EWR transatlantic departures (TAP A310's, CO 777's, among others)
IAD transatlantic departures (at FL 250-350, and almost always with contrails)(UA 777's, NW DC-10's, BA 777's, BA 763's, UA 763's, Austrian A330's, etc.)
Sikorsky S-76's heading SW and NE on their way to and from the Sikorsky Factory/Plant


EDIT: I forgot to mention some JFK/EWR Transpacific departures (NW 744's, Air China 744's, etc.)

Hi guys,

I use a monocular for dot spotting with 40 times magnification. I saw only two planes yesterday on June 20, 2003. These were:
DAN 146 (Maersk) B-737 FL360 PARAK-PATAK routing
UPS6807 B-767 FL360 BEGLA routing
Today we had strong wind, no contrails were formed even in high altitude and I saw:
MAS 4 B-747-400 FL400 BNO routing
CFG 871 B-757 FL340 PATAK routing
EVA 67 B-747-400 in new colors FL380 PATAK routing
BUC 641 (Bulgarian Air Charter) TU-154 FL360 PATAK routing
SXS 636 B-737 FL380 PATAK routing
UAE 19 A-330 FL380 PATAK routing MAVOR, BNO next
BUC 615 TU-154 FL380 PATAK routing
Anyway, dot spotting is my favorite hobby that I do in most of my free time if weather allows. :)

Hi fellows,
I saw two aircraft in the past two days.
June 28, 2003:
UAE 9991 B-747-400F FL360 BUDOP-PATAK 19:43LT ( I managed to read off some of the letters in the EMIRATES writing on the fuselage!) :shock:
June 30, 2003:
HDA 500 B-747-300 FL320 or 340 BUDOP-BNO 13:46 ( no contrail, I am guessing the FL because the pilot hasn't reported anything out of "Dragonair 500". :x It was handed over to lower ACC sector in Slovakia)
Registrations would be appreciated. :wink:
Bye.

[Bully]

UAE 9991 B-747-400F FL360 BNO 20:14
There were no contrails at this time due to weather conditions.
Bye for now,
Good spotting! :)

[Bully]

I saw 5 airplanes overflying Hungary on July 6, 2003. Of course, traffic is much better than these few aircraft around here, I just didn't have chance to spot more.

BUC 719 TU-154 FL360 BNO 19:59
There were no contrails on this day. Weather is windy these days here.
Does any of you guys do the hobby with high magnification mono- or binoculars (like, 30-60x)? Much enjoyable.
Bye. :)

Well, this is my first post here. Last night, it took my wife and I a little longer to eat dinner out on the deck than usual. When she asked what I was doing, I told her ". . . dot spotting!" Her only response was, "Is that what you're calling it now?"

Here's what I saw;

7:52 United B737

7:56 American MD-80

8:07 American Eagle EMB 145

8:20 United B737

8:21 United B737

8:39 Alaska B737

8:44 Alaska MD-80

8:52 American West A320

all inbound to SFO at around 10000'


BTW, is there that much of difference between a 10x40 and a 10x50 pair of binoculars? I've got a 40.

[BA747-436]

[nox]

what type of radio do you guys use to monitor this stuff
and isnt it illegal
????

[N27015]

Nox we use a radio scanner to monitor ACARS, what you hear is not voice message but a "burst" of digitnal noise. Once you get the scanner up and running, you need a decoder, like AirNav or WACARS.

Good luck

[Greg]

I saw a AN-124 on approach to BWI from my back deck around 12:30 pm today. :D

[N27015]

And oh, it's not illegal at least in U.S. but in some other countries (cities) it might be illegal to own a scanner (like singapore).

As long as you dont show off to the cops, you should be fine

[bapilot2b]

I use a Yupiteru 3330 scanner, and a pair of 10X40 binos, more logs to come as soon as the WX improves!!!

[mikecweb]

And oh, it's not illegal at least in U.S.
True except for michigan.

[Bully]

Hi all,

I saw the following two aircraft on August 28, 2003:

PAC 421 (Polar Air Cargo) B-747 FL340 routing BUDOP-BABUS 16:27 (no contrail, I even read off the "POLAR ..RGO" letters on the fuselage, the others were covered by the wing) :shock:
BUC 401 TU-154 FL380 routing BUDOP-BABUS 19:07

Coming back soon with a "dot spotting" trip report we did today early dawn, 46 miles to the North.

[Bully]

We went for a trip with friend to the other side of the upper area westbound track UL602 at early dawn. Observation is better in the morning from the North of this routing, and in the evening from the South due to light conditions so you have to travel a couple of miles if you want to get clear picture in your telescope. It was needed to depart in the night to get there by sunrise. Unfortunately most of the long-haul flights (many BAWs, KLMs & MAS) flew over still in the dark between 04:30-05:30 AM. This is not a main routing over Hungary, just almost 30 percent of the morning traffic flows through this area.

Location: Apc, Hungary
Aug 29, 2003:
GFA 009 A-330 FL400 routing BUDOP-BNO 05:53 (new c/s)
GFA 007 A-340 FL380 routing BUDOP-BNO 06:03 (old c/s)
NWA 41 B-747 FL360 routing BUDOP-BNO 06:08 (Gee guys! It was beautiful, in old livery.)
BUC 505 TU-154 FL380 routing BUDOP-BNO 06:09
BGH 5907 Tu-154 (Balkan Holiday) FL360 routing BUDOP-BNO 06:12 (very nice, indeed)
PIA 715 B-747 FL360 routing BUDOP-BABUS 06:15 (old c/s)--Firstly instructed to proceed to BEGLA point but fortunately controller changed it to BABUS point, thx to the pilot, giving us a chance to see a Pakistan Jumbo in the old livery with its green belly (hopefully not the last time).
BUC 545 TU-154 FL360 routing BUDOP-BNO 06:18
KLM 1358 B-737NG FL340 routing BUDOP-BNO 06:39 (no contrail)
SXS 522 B-737 FL380 routing BUDOP-BABUS 06:32

Good spotting! :P

[Bully]

Weather gets cloudy so it seems we won't have much chance to see anything in the near future. :x

[ReachForTheStars]

I never see any planes anymore.
Used to see loads, because I used to live under a flight path, about ten minutes from Melbourne Airport.

In one day, it was pretty standard to see a few Ansett 767's or 737's, and a few Qantas 747's fly over, along with a handful of Uniteds or Cathays or other similar international carriers.
I spent the best part of the first 18 years of my life walking around looking at the sky :)

[Bully]

Hi all, :)

Here is the list of the planes I saw: (sorry for late reply to topic)

Coming back soon with some dot spotting trip reports! :D

[Bully]

I did a long journey with 3 friends yesterday just to observe some overflights in the Northern side of the country, distance was 118 km (73 SM) to hometown, Budapest.

Sat Nov 08, 2003. Location: countryside in the outskirts of village, Vizslás, Hungary. Telescopes used: 30- and 24-times magn. monoculars (friends), 40 times magn. (mine) :shock:

THY B-737 LITKU-MOPUG (heading South-East) 13:30

SIA 317 B-747-400 FL310 PITOK-REBLA 15:33
BAW 107 B-777 FL390 LITKU-NARKA 15:49

Unfortunately we arrived late, only a few jets overflew this time that area so we managed to see more cows than airplanes. This trip was not too successful. :x
BUT! We did our most successful "dot spotting trip" next day! (today)
We visited the countryside 150 km off to the South at this time where there is a main upper area routing with some contengency tracks and observed more than 50 huge airplanes. :clap:
I'll be back with the report ASAP.

[Bully]

So here we go :D

Hello,

I saw only one plane on Sun Nov 23, 2003:
MAS 004 B-747-400 FL360 BUDOP-BABUS 14:47 (requested FL380 @ 14:34 and climbed soon)

Fri Nov 28, 2003:
Today I have just observed Gulf Air's flight which hasn't even landed at London Heathrow yet, still flying somewhere over Slovakia, soon to be over the Czech Republic and Germany.
GFA 005 A-330 FL380 BUDOP-BABUS 15:35 (in beautiful new colors!)

Good spotting. :)

[matt1168]

Let's see over my house...

Spirit MD80's about 700 feet above my head (kinda loud...)

The occasional Comair CRJ in from CVG...

And lots of charters, not to mention the odd, yet consistent Air France A340 that comes around once/month.

I sure miss seeing the low-flying CO ERJ's coming from EWR and CLE... :(

[GrantT]

Had a baaaad few months WX wise, only had good WX to see a few, hoping cold clear winter days come fast so I can start posting logs again!

It was incredibly clear with lots of traffic on Monday but unfortunetaly i was busy :(

Heres a KLM 744 i caught a couple of weeks after i bought my camera.

<IMG SRC=http://www.jetphotos.net/user-uploads/dotspottingklm744.jpg>

[Foxtrot]

Well, I don't take pics, but I do spot using a pair of German binoculars.

Saw a DL 738 heading west and an AA 763ER heading east.

[Gulfstream1291]

I live something like 20 miles from LAX soI see
China Eastern A340-600
Lots of Qantas 747-400
Korean 747-400
I live close to LGB so......
JetBlue A320
American S-80
Horizon CRJ
American 737-800
Happy spotting! :lol:

[Anonymous]

I've seen loads of A/C up there at 30,000ft or so with my new "bins" that I got for Christmas!

Err, 2 C-17's, Northwest DC-10, 757 Continental, 767 Delta, loads of 737 Easyjets and a few 737's, 747's and 777's British Airways :clap:

My binocullars are 10X50 if you wanna know?

[matt1168]

We get lots of private and executive jets around this time, because it is cheaper than PHL for the company big-shots. There haven't been any charters (as it has been below 0 degrees farenheit), but we get a constant flow of MD80s (Spirit from FLL, PBI, RSW, MCO, MYR, DTW, DEN and TPA), 3 CRJ's every day (Comair from CVG), and 2 D28-Jets every day (DL from BOS).

[MD11Forever]

Just to help ressurect a "dead" thread, here's a few "dotspotting" shots. :lol: :D
This one is easy... KC10 in the pattern for KORD..taken with my Minolta Z1 even.
<IMG SRC=http://www.jetphotos.net/user-uploads/Pict1795-mod.jpg>
A NWA B757...
<IMG SRC=http://www.jetphotos.net/user-uploads/Img_2347-mod.jpg>
A JAL B747 in the pattern for KORD...
<IMG SRC=http://www.jetphotos.net/user-uploads/Img_1061-mod.jpg>
This one taken tonight, almost too easy. Delta Comair/ASA CRJ southbound, probably from Green Bay.
<IMG SRC=http://www.jetphotos.net/user-uploads/Img_3783-mod.jpg>
And this one, also taken tonight...not positive, but I'd put my money on a JetBlue Airbus westbound over my house! Only thing I can come up with that has a dark blue tail and white fuselage...
<IMG SRC=http://www.jetphotos.net/user-uploads/Img_3779-mod.jpg>

[herpa2003]

Saw a C-130 with a completely orange tail the other day. Wasn't a Coast Guard one though. Does anyone know of someone that operates a C-130 with an orange tail?

[JJR]

You probably saw one of the C-130's from Schenectady county... we see those guys do touch and goes alot all year round in Albany... probably cause were only like 10 or 12 miles From SCH..... Thier call sign is "Skier" and they are the ones that do the Antarctica run when somthings goin on down there... Just a guess at who you saw, but they've got orange tails....
-JJR

[Simpleboy]

in nor westers we get everything that comes to NZCH except 747s and occasionally 767s.

<IMG SRC=http://www.jetphotos.net/user-uploads/Pict1795-mod.jpg>

Actually, it is not a KC10. Note the winglets, the KC10s do not have those. Therefore it must be a MD11. As for the airline, World Airways would be my best guess since they have a fully white fuselage and tail.



And this one, also taken tonight...not positive, but I'd put my money on a JetBlue Airbus westbound over my house! Only thing I can come up with that has a dark blue tail and white fuselage...
<IMG SRC=http://www.jetphotos.net/user-uploads/Img_3779-mod.jpg>

The JetBlue planes have a blue belly. This one is missing that. It probably is a Air Canada A320 or more likely a A321.

[BA747-436]

World Airways MD11 have a world on the tail and world titles. So im 50/50 towards the world airways desigantion. Looks more like a cargo config as well, notice the lack of windows? As for a KC10 lol :P
As for the A320 looks more like Continental but i know they dont have them, not jb though :)

[MD11Forever]

My bad ID on the KC10...you know the opposite wing does kind of look like the refueling boom...that's what I took it for. But now that you mention it, it hangs waaaay too low...
Got me on the JB Airbus too... :D Ah well.
:wink:

[herpa2003]

Saw this flying over the house today and was able to get a pic:

<IMG SRC=http://www.jetphotos.net/user-uploads/worldmd11.JPG>

World Airways flight 8869
Fort Drum, NY (GTB)-Frankfurt, Germany (FRA)

Came to Drum from El Paso, TX

[Bully]

I saw a U.S. Military flight in old (the previous, blue) United Airlines colors, having an identification of "Reach 842" on Aug 14, 2004. It was a civil Boeing B-747-400, flying at FL330! 8) It was really nice as I could observe it at late afternoon in very good wheather conditions. We have a lot of Reach overflights since the beginning of the war against Iraq.
Today (Aug 16, 2004) I saw the following ones:

[airplanegeek]

depends which way the wind is blowing for arrivals/departues at DEN. besides that, i'd put money on DEN being the contrail capital of the U.S. it's not uncommon to see 10 active contrails at any one moment. i think the most 30K+ feet a/c i've spotted at the same time was 16. :shock: that's what happens when you live in the middle of the country. :wink:

[Legend_Airlines]

This thread should be called "last year's dot spotting"

[Bully]

...DEN being the contrail capital of the U.S....

Wow! It must be cool. However, I think it's hard to beat Hungary in this aspect.
Get in the ring! :smilewin:

This summer sucked for "dot spotting" I only saw a few days that wernt cloudy or hazy and even then the summer sky isnt all that friendly for it.... hopefully winter will be nicer.....

Had an AA 757-200 and an OAI DC-10 fly into GTB today...

[herpa2003]

Today-

2 USAF C-130s
2 USAF A-10s
1 US Army AH-64 Apache

C-130s and A-10s were flying pretty low over the city, just to give you an indea the Apache was flying higher than the C-130s and A-10s were.

[herpa2003]

Today-

2 USAF A-10s
1 World Airways MD-11

[Crunk415balla]

Way to many to count here. Where I live you get Aircraft headed to LAX and all the SoCal airports, plus planes from all over headed out to the Pacific. I often see DL's 764 ATL-HNL flight pass over. Its not uncommon here to see 4 or 5 contails all moving at once when you look up here, I counted 9 at sunset last saturday, too bad I was out of film.

[herpa2003]

USAF C-130 buzzed the Veteran's Day parade twice today...very low pass at high speed followed by a steep climbing right bank...made for a good show!

Also saw a US Airways Express Dash 8 today...

[Chris@YYZ]

while raking leaves today, I say
2 Baron 58s
a few small cessnas
a BAW 772
a BAW 744
an ACA A332
a couple JZA Dash-8s
and an Alitalia 763

[YYZPICS]

A couple of days ago, i saw a NWA A330 and a AC A330 banked rite over my house picking up alot of condensation, i wish i had my camera.

[herpa2003]

^^^^^^^
NWA A330 in YYZ??



Saw a USAF C-130 flying over the city today and while I was shooting some hoops I saw a US Airways Express CRJ on approach to FAY. Also saw a US Airways Express DAsh 8 on approach yesterday.

NWA doesnt operate A330s to YYZ, or is it a new development?

[YYZPICS]

NWA 330 = Contrail:wiggle:

[Chris@YYZ]

ahhhhhhhh, ok, I was thinking, "Aw shit, I've missed ANOTHER rare visitor!"

[andrew_c]

Took this a while ago:

COA772 enroute to KIAH

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/crazyfoo88/Aviation/continental777dotspotting.jpg

5 mintues later, another COA772! I am fairly sure this was Paris-Houston (may be wrong).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/crazyfoo88/Aviation/continental777dotspottingtwo.jpg


KLM744 going to Chicago (I think)

We get lots of overflights in YXU, one time I could of had Three 767s in one frame! Always cool watching them fly over.

[Genessee]

Always cool watching them fly over.If they would only stop at YXU :)

The only one I've gotten a decent picture of was a JAL 747. No idea where it was going, or coming from. Perhaps I need to be more observant :)

[Electric-Jet]

I dont have to dot spot because the house i just moved into is at the end of the runway at RDU. so some of the more interesting planes i saw today really low over my house were

AA 767 replacing the 777 for the season
fedex A300
UPS A300
Omni air DC-10
Murray Air DC-8
4 F-15s in formation
F-18
USAF C-130

Take out the camera:)

Take out the camera:)

I would if I could but my camera broke and the camera I have now is not equipped for such. Well, not for much of anything.All I got was a really bad photo of the 767.Heres a link to the photo. The plane is lower then it looks and like I said the camera sucks and it was low light.

Yea looks like you banged up your camera pretty good.

Thats not the camera because that camera broke.the one I used is a Casio Z110 that I won in a contest and it has a really bad lens and it sucks.

I love houses like that, the noise doesn't bother me at all.

[Electric-Jet]

I love houses like that, the noise doesn't bother me at all.

It actually isn't that loud because the planes are so close to landing that they reduce the engine power. When I lived in NJ, my house was under the JFK flightpath for runways 13L/R. The planes were at about 3000 ft, and were much louder than the ones now at 500 ft.

[herpa2003]

Saw 7 US Army OH-58Ds in formation yesterday, pretty low too! Also about a week ago I saw 2 USAF C-17s, 2 USAF C-130s and 2 USAF A-10s.

[herpa2003]

Just got back from a quick trip to Bragg. During the drive I saw-

1 white high-winged prop aircraft, not sure of the type as it was pretty far away. It was flying low and making some pretty steep banks, however, so I would guess that it was connected to the military somehow.

2 US Army UH-60 Blackhawks

2 USAF A-10s in tight formation. The banked approximately 90 degrees to the right, made a quick turn and then I lost sight of them. Still pretty neat to see, however!

Even though Bragg is a bigger military base I still saw more interesting aircraft when I was up at GTB (Fort Drum, NY). Interesting visitors spotted up there included a Volga Dnepr Antonov (on numerous occasions), numerous C-5s and C-141s, Navy F/A-18s, USAF F-16s, Navy P-3 Orions, and even Air Force 1 and 2. Civilian aircraft spotted there included numerous L1011s, 757-200/300s, 767-300s, MD-11s, 717-200s, 737-700s, 737-200s, etc.

[herpa2003]

Saw a USANG Shorts 330 today, as well as a USAF C-130, US Airways Express Dash 8 and US Airways Express CRJ.

[YYZPICS]

2 griffins buzzed my house in formation today, thats about the only military i see:shakehea:

[Electric-Jet]

heres the AA 777 that I took from the front of my house.

[Canada154]

My house is right under the right downwind path for YYZ's 6L/R approaches, so i get lots of planes turning over my house to base then final. when they arent landing, i get lots of heavies departing over my house then turning east towards the atlantic.
