Heathrow arrivals/departures [Accepting Airline and plane requests]

Real World Aviation Spotting
1

Hello there! I’ve been in London on vacation for the last few days, and have been getting some OK photos.

First message: I’m going to the Emirates sim in a few days so expect pics

Second message: Misha, I think these work

Third Message: Post an airline or plane request in the chat for a photo if I got it. I have over 100

Fourth message: Please notice that almost none of these aircraft have gear down, which means I’m pretty far away around 2 miles average, and they are pretty high up. (Around 3000 feet) so don’t expect beautiful quality.

These photos are of both landing and departing planes! (Mostly landing)

Let’s get started!
Photo locations

  1. Buckingham Palace
  2. Windsor Castle
  3. The royal mews
  4. The horse guards parade (it’s a place trust me)
  5. Out a car window (haha)

I love the last photo, perfectly timed, it looks like the circle on the top of the flag pole is holding up the plane!

May I request a TAM 777-300ER? It lands everyday at about 15:00-15:20 UK time (London time).
Great pics! I loved the A340 cruising one. Also the Virgin A330 shot angle was very unique!

Did you get yesterday evening’s (around 8pm) Icelandair 757? Someone I know was on it that’s all.
Don’t worry if you didn’t get it, I know I’m being quite specific!

That’s fine, I know I’m being extraordinary picky here over a certain plane! Anyways, do you have any more A380 photos?

Thank you

That last one is like a photo a newspaper would use for the sake of an article. Great timing.
