That's some very nice pics. My wife used to work on the apron at ORTIA and were treated to a tour of one of the Emirate Air boeings, through first class!! She took a few cellphone pics but lost them when her phone got stolen. Would have nicely complemented your pics of that Emirates 777 touching down. The luxury level inside first class is way better than on BA flights in which I was fortunate enough to travel from Lagos.

Went to pick up a friend today and saw a Lynx operating out of CPT Intl.

I ventured into Kremlin's territory this week to drop off some overseas visitors. I spotted one of THG Convair 580 aircraft ZS-SKL near the airport fence. I don't think a pic of this particular aircraft has appeared on this thread, although I may be wrong. So far I've only seen ZS-LYL in THG colours. So here is SKL....

Thanks Nathan.

I hardly venture out to the airport anymore ... that green glass just distorts & warps any picture not taken at 90° to the glass. Now I just stand in my back-garden & snap them coming down the ILS. When I do go to the airport, I use the 1st parkade garage ... as far left as possible. Longer shots but green glass free :D

Kremlin, from the way it looks to me is that your backyard must be in the premises of the airport. 8) Great shots there guys! :smt023

"Uncle" Krem ( :lol: ),

My folks stay in Brackenfell. When I come down there to visit (some time between now and December, probably) would you mind hosting me one afternoon for a mik-en-druk session? I might be fortunate enough to have a new camera by then. :wink:

Some very cool pics Nathan. Keep'em coming.
