The "feeling under the weather" thing just wouldn't go away, so my plan this Sunday was not to have any plan at all. I just wanted to stay on the couch and binge on Slow Houses. I was through the Episode 1 of Season 4, when I glanced on Flightradar24 and almost fell of the couch: out of the blue, a Piaggio P.180...

Even though I felt under the weather, I ventured to NUE last night to catch the SprintAir Saab 340A(QC) (reg. SP-KPC). It was surprisingly chilly, and I wished I wore warmer clothes. The machine was a no-show, but there was some activity on RWY 28, so I did manage to capture a few airplanes.

Last night, exhausted and confused, summer bumped into autumn and dissolved into a gloomy and chilly morning weather with a sprinkle of drizzle. I took a shower, and it felt like I washed away what was left of the summer.

I went to NUE on Saturday. Not because I was expecting anything in particular, but because I wanted to spend some time photographing airplanes. My catch was rather modest: an Airbus A320 belonging to Freebird, a stripey Condor Airbus A321, and other small fry.

With an insurance sticker firmly attached to the rear mudguard, I wanted to give my electric scooter a proper test. So I've been zooming around NUE all day long on Sunday.

Surprise! I didn't go to FRA this Saturday. Instead, I spent time on fixing an issue in Tinble that had been bothering me for a while. You see, when deleting a page or an article, the orphaned .reads files would cause all kinds of problems.

While Metar Viewer - Metar Reader is not on the same level as Metar-Taf when it comes to functionality and polish, the former does have a couple of useful features that make it worth having on your Android device.

Yes, I have. Because 1) riding a bike hasn't been an option for quite a while due to my knees, 2) walking to spotting locations takes too long, and 3) new toy!

By now, it's an established fact that I cannot resist the pull of FRA, which explains why the missus and I spent yet another weekend there. This time around, I decided to forgo my absolute favorite sport on the A5 motorway overpass in Zeppelinheim and try something different. Well, a little bit different to begin...

A flight tracker like Flightradar24, a METAR viewer, and a decent weather app are de rigueur tools for any serious aviation enthusiast and aircraft photographer. But finding a weather app that does exactly what you need can be a surprisingly challenging endeavour. There are so many weather apps to choose from, and...

I haven't visited FRA for several weekends, which felt like an eternity. And even though the weather forecast promised rain and a dip in temperatures along with changing wind directions, the pull of FRA was impossible to resist.

Last Monday, I went on a day trip to MUC. Because it was scorching hot, I decided not to be a hero and opted for the observation deck in Terminal 2 instead of Besucherhügel. Not that it made a huge difference. Although there are a few shadowy pocket on the deck, you still bound to roast slowly under the relentless...
