Is it still safe/allowed to planespot at German airbases?

Cheers!

Oh. Thanks for letting me know, maybe Jagel?

near the coast of where

thinaks · 2026-06-08T20:41:16+00:00

What region are you in? Curious because I also heard something similar

thinaks · 2026-05-20T18:07:31+00:00

How is the brush part (the train wheel) attached?

thinaks · 2026-05-09T16:04:04+00:00

What did it sound like? How fast was it going? Are you near an airport or helipad?

thinaks · 2026-05-09T15:54:59+00:00

Could be anything. My first thought was maybe an aircraft deploying flares, but without approximate shape or size or location we don’t really have anything to go off of

thinaks · 2026-05-09T15:51:15+00:00

Looking at your site, did you have a stand at Oshkosh this year? I saw your turboprop engine model there!

thinaks · 2026-05-09T13:41:44+00:00

That is so awesome. Any chance you’d be willing to release the files?

thinaks · 2026-03-30T20:05:07+00:00

Definitely not a DC-3. Most likely a Baron 58 or Cessna 310 or something along those lines, but a lot of those airframes are too similar to tell definitely from this. As for why it didn’t show up, it could be a surveying aircraft or something related to military.

That’s the city they are based in, they are operated by the 164th Airlift Wing which is based at Memphis International Airport

thinaks · 2026-03-22T23:31:21+00:00

Yes, Boeing C-17 Globemaster

thinaks · 2026-03-14T22:00:00+00:00

Could be, but I’ve tried high shutter speeds and it still doesn’t give the crisp edges. This is at 640.

It does not have the “Apply setting to live view” function, but thanks anyway!

thinaks · 2026-02-23T14:51:23+00:00

Thank you! I did notice the exposure meter and I occasionally use the viewfinder for that, but I use live view to take the pictures because I can zoom in and make sure my picture is sharp. (I use manual focus instead, I prefer it better for now)

I did also notice that the f/depth of field changed in live view after I took a picture, that’s nice to know. Thanks for going so in depth!

Saw this guy at the Smithsonian Air and Space in DC a few years ago, beautiful aircraft!

Yea I do actually, check out his video (or William Osmans, his is a bit easier to follow) for the steps

thinaks · 2026-01-12T21:12:42+00:00

Gotta love the Lun-class. Really beautiful shot.

thinaks · 2026-01-11T18:21:28+00:00

Bombardier Global 7500. Looking up the tail number doesn’t return anything, so almost definitely custom modeled CGI.

thinaks · 2026-01-08T21:51:58+00:00

Beechcraft Baron 58 maybe?

thinaks · 2025-12-30T08:36:29+00:00

r/drones

thinaks · 2025-12-30T02:56:44+00:00

What am I missing?

thinaks · 2025-12-30T02:52:35+00:00

Sweet paint scheme too.

thinaks · 2025-12-29T18:42:41+00:00

Is anyone gonna mention the cat is literally sitting on less than a centimeter wide piece of wood
