Hey Guys

Since my good camera is in getting repairs I had to use my first ever digital camera, which tbh is rubbish. I checked on FlightStats last night to see what was in for today, and just missed the CargoLux 744 landing by a few seconds =[

However, little did I know the ATR was in today, (wasn't displayed on FlightStats) so that was a little surprise. Hear the GE's roooaaarrrr.

Please do not comment on quality as I know its bad, this isn't my usual camera and NOTE: These are all hand taken.

AtlasAir just reaching about 50 feet. For all the spotters there were, this ATR seemed to grab the attention of most of them, and when she lifted off, they all hopped out their cars. http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/images/smilies/wink.gif

Seconds before starting her turn on LNAV FMC.

Please go easy, first shots on here. Once again, please do not comment on quality, due to my camera being in for repairs, this one is temporary.

Myke: The ATR is a kind of plane, however when talking about 'AtlasAir' , its usually referred to ATR.

Thanks loll! I believe the AN-225 or the A380 may infact be the bigger. AN-225 gets my vote however, but lets not turn it into that.

Anyway, enjoyed meh day, Prestwick is full of surprises just now. :)

Cheers Anthony, once the good camera gets fixed up I'll be posting alot more regularly, although I'll still continue to post the good shots I get.
