I recently splurged for a Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR lens to go with my Nikon fc. I mostly use it for casual photography, but I thought that paired with the lens, the camera would make a small and lightweight supplement to my main aircraft photography setup. I didn't have to wait long for an opportunity to...

> Put an experienced pilot in any airplane and chances are they will be able to fly it, albeit fairly roughly. That is because all airplanes follow the same laws of aerodynamics and gravity: pull back, they go up, push forward they go down, chop the wings off and they go down very fast. But we are currently flying...

From the I went all the way to NUE just for this airplane, and all I got is a bunch of mediocre photos department.

Up until now, Tinble included a simple guestbook that I shamelessly borrowed from the flat-file-guestbook repository. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but I reasoned it was better than nothing. The other day, I stumbled upon this guestbook project, and I liked what I saw. It didn't take me long to integrate it into...

Originally, I planned to go to Hamburg to catch a Beluga. But I really didn't feel like I was up to it, and I cancelled the trip. Instead, I decided to go for a day trip — surprise, surprise! — to FRA. I didn't have any specific objective. But the weather was nice, and RWY 07C was used for departures (which doesn't...

Tinble now shows the contents of the preamble.md file right under the navigation menu. The file could contain a quote of the day, a description of the blog, a current status, and pretty much anything else. Right now, I use this featurette to show what I'm currently reading.

> Airbus and Boeing dominate the commercial aviation industry, accounting for the vast majority of aircraft carrying passengers and cargo through the skies. With so many similarities between aircraft, it can be difficult to visually differentiate between the two. Here, we’ll take a look at the biggest clues to...

We had a somewhat rare visitor in NUE today. I managed to quitely disappear from work for a couple of hours to witness the event.
