Some photos I took this morning, featuring a stunning sunrise, some morning dew on a spider web in the nearby park and the special United Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner on downwind for EBBR 25R. Enjoy your weekend! ☀️🍁✈️🕸️ #avgeek #canon #mechelen #2800love #nature

D R A G O N F L Y Over the past few months I’ve slowly moved away from my photographic comfort zone and so I have literally focused on a completely different subject: dragonflies. Since then I have begun to appreciate these magnificent little creatures. More pics will follow soon! #nature #canon

Today’s Lufthansa flight LH492 FRA-YVR is taking quite the northerly route over the Atlantic Ocean. Current latitute is 76 degrees north. If skies were clear, I’m pretty sure at least some passengers enjoyed great views while enroute over Greenland 🇩🇪🛫🇬🇱🛬🇨🇦 #avgeek #flightradar24 #lufthansa

Earlier this week I spotted Lufthansa’s special 100th Anniversary Airbus A380 enroute from MUC to BOS but clouds got in the way. Few days ago I had more luck when it showed up again, this time operating Lufthansa flight LH414 MUC-IAD. The return flight diverted to SNN. #lufthansa #a380 #avgeek

My very first encounter with a Lufthansa 100th Anniversary Livery. Depicted here is Airbus A380-841 D-AIMH operating flight LH424 MUC-BOS. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for these ones in the coming months, as winter is now approaching (better light and much better seeing conditions).

Of ik me ingeschreven heb voor tickets van de Oasis Live ‘27 tour? HELL YEAH! Of ik ook tickets zal kopen als ik bij de gelukkigen ben? HELL NO! Tot 250 euro voor één (van de beste) staanplaats(en)? Ik ben niet gek hoor. Ik ben gewoon benieuwd of ik zal worden uitgeloot 🥳🎶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

How it started vs. how it’s going… All jokes set aside, the fires at tonight’s Sanicole Sunset Airshow - as a result of pyrotechnics - looked quite serious, but fortunately firefighters managed to extinguish all of them.

Bon, blijkbaar is Christian Olde Wolbers op VRT te zien in het nieuwe programma ‘Home Sweet Home’ over Belgen in de VS. Ik ken hem reeds dertig jaar als de (voormalige) bassisr van één van mijn favoriete bands als puber: FEAR FACTORY 🤘🏼😈 Gewoon eens de plaat Demanufacture opzoeken ;-)

In 2025 Icelandair’s retired its iconic B757 ‘Hekla Aurora’. This year it got scrapped in Spain, but fortunately Icelandair called Aviationtag for an upcycling job. Today the Aviationtag / Icelandair B757 TF-FIU original skin tag was released. More info via www.aviationtag.com/pages/icelan... 🇮🇸✈️

Sad news from the Hellenic Air Force today as it appears a HAF F-4E Phantom II has crashed during its solo display at Athens Flying Week at Tanagra Air Base. According to early reports, the military jet’s two pilots did not survive. May they rest in peace 😢

It’s just after eight o’clock in the morning when Trident, Brussels Airlines’ Belgian Icon dedicated to the Red Flames and the Red Devils, Belgium’s women’s and men’s national football teams, passes by on TWY INN-9 as she makes her way back to the gate after operating its first flight of the day.

AI rommel doet het blijkbaar weer heel goed dezer dagen op de socials. Zo diep intriest dat fotografen alsmaar meer in de verleiding komen om door AI gemanipuleerde foto’s te posten ‘voor de likes’. Er zijn fotografen die prachtige ‘echte’ foto’s maken maar helaas dus ook meer en meer ‘prutsers’.

Morgen zal er in België GEEN totale zonsverduistering te zien zijn, enkel een gedeeltelijke. Het verschil tussen 90% en 100% is letterlijk bijna dag en nacht. Voor een ervaring zoals onderstaande foto moet je in vnl. Spanje zijn.

DIY en waarnemen van de zon zou ik afraden, tenzij je écht weet waar je mee bezit bent. Better be safe than sorry. Ikzelf heb destijds bij Baader een zonnefilter gekocht die meteen op maat was van mijn lens en die dus perfect aansluit.
