It was my first time I was up close to an A350, It was great and made a great start to 2021. I know @Altaria55 was also there.

Also - as a word of advice, JetPhotos will not take anything that is obstructed.

As for the JP question none of them unless you want a rejection. All would be probably dark, and noisy, but biggest issue is all bad crop or more importantly obstructed. I’d recommend reading the upload guidelines before you look at submitting, they make it pretty clear that anything small or big blocking the plane is a no no.

I mean, I can say with a high degree of certainty that it will be rejected but you can try if you want. Depending on which one you submitted obstruction is a pretty black and white rule. If you read the Jetphotos submission guidelines they list these two pictures as two that were rejected for obstruction. All your photos are either obstructed or way too cropped for JP.

I don’t mean to be hating on your photos, not my intention at all, but just from reading through the JP guidelines those won’t have any real chance of getting in.

Why did the commercial A359 appear in a cargo airport? It is quite strange

#20

Its not just a cargo, we do many different things like flight school.
It probably was easier logistics and cheaper and faster to go to AFW instead of DFW
