I'm so pleased to have finally got a chance to get up close and personal with my favourite Manchester regular (for the moment). A lovely surprise to see it on the 05L approach, simply beautiful aircraft.
3.72 min. | 4.81 user rating		 Here's a second shot of the new 'Colours Of The Desert' scheme PIA have applied to their beautiful 747 classics. Landing is low resolution because of the distance zoomed, but the sunny takeoff with the cloud of spray is an impressive sight. The PIA -300 landed straight after this one... cool sight!

7.48 min. | 4.54 user rating		 Quite a lot of PIA 747 movements today, I took the first shot for the database of PIA's new 'Colours of the Desert' scheme, and watch out for the 743 hovering over 24R for ages! We saw both of PIA's 742s today, apologies for the aweful wind noise and subsequent shaking.
