N37172 is a King Air 350, nice bird. The Twatters(twin otters) are great, a true pickup truck of the sky. I've flown both types quite a bit in the past and really enjoyed your photos.

Many Thanks Jungle,
We call the twins Twotters ,, these fly to some of the most remote and beautifull place in Scotland , and if you get a chance to speak to the Pilots, They all say the same thing
"would'nt give it up for anything "

Cheers Kevin

The Zoom bird is a 767 if I'm not mistaken. Currently flying these, although not for Zoom. Thanks again for the fine photos. That triple 7 is a sweetie.

Number 3 the Zoom 767 is a cracker. Nice to see the vapour going over the top of the wings at the engine nacelle.

I would have cloned out that pesky tower though.

I flew with Zoom to Glasgow in July 06, more room than Air Crammedsat although the Zoom aircraft are older than their rivals.

There's a brilliant movie of one making a hard landing at Manchester here. (http://www.flightlevel350.com/Aircraft_Boeing_767-300-Airline_Zoom_Aviation_Video-6420.html) So hard in fact that they never needed reverse thrust. The blue bird is still my favourite coloured aircraft to photograph in Scotland. Nice shots.

Another nice shot Kevin and you even got the clam shells deployed. (Speed brakes).

For a guy who is new at this... you certainly have some great talent.

Thanks for the offer of using the lens... but a fight might break out and it could get damaged LOL. :oops:

They are almost all gone. Only British Airways colours with small text (if you can see it without binoculars) saying Loganair underneath the cockpit window.

Zoom Airlines is now more Scottish than Loganair.


Cousin who is Scottish first and foremost. :cool:
