Hopefully there will be another aerial photograph update soon.

Got to love the video of the Dreamliner landing in dusk.

New runway extension update:

A nice video of the Monarch A321 doing a fly past of the hangar. It came overhead whilst I was at work, not aware there was a fly past I couldn't work out why it was so off centre with the runway, now I know

I enjoyed watching that Ray Finkle. I liked the wing wave.

I now kind of realise how poor my videos are and why they aren't getting any views...(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp-EMANpsSE)
A HD video of some action at BHX thanks to rachealmatt:

The best I could find.

Great videos, thanks for posting them. If you skip to around 21:20 on the last clip the spray from the 767 is awesome, the Emirates 777 after is quite good also.

Your technique seems OK I think you just need a better quality camera. Have a look through flugsnug's videos for tips on panning and zooming, his/her videos are always excellent quality.

 

[Hassaan]

I've got myself a HD camcorder - when the weather is better I'll give it a go and see what I can come up with.

 

[Ray Finkle]

I look forward to seeing your videos

 

[Aviador]

Likewise.

Just in time for the weather to start getting better too.

An interesting clip from flugsnug of a 763 cross wind landing, it made the Telegraph website under the title Scariest Landing

A nice video of the Biman DC-10 arriving, it also shows the new RWY33 threshold and new approach lighting.

The link below is to an even better video (despite the music) from the excellent Air Team Images, love the sound of those engines. Notice Gordon Stretch stepping off at 03:40 then giving his interview at the end

DAC-KWI-BHX in four minutes.

VIDEO: The Final DC-10 Commercial Flight

What a journey one of the film makers made "Jeremy flew SEA-LAX-NRT-SIN-DAC-KWI-BHX-DUB-BOS-SEA in six days" :shok:

 

[Hassaan]

I've deleted half the videos from my YT channel because the views weren't budging and the quality was quite poor. At least I've got a new camera to get some views-racking videos this summer. Maybe I should go for some sunset/sunrise departures/arrivals? They could look really good.

I thought I'd repost this one for anyone who hasn't seen it and may see it as nostalgia:

BHX in 2005. Back when we had EK A330 twice daily (up til the end of October that year), AI B772, Eurocypria, Britannia etc. Feel free to flog it to the BHX enthusiasts, especially those who are fond of nostalgia.

That "scariest landing" video posted a while back has got 8m views now. Here's another very good video from him showing cross-wind landings:

And some nice videos showing the DC-10 final flight in full. I'm kicking myself for not going on it now. :sad: Here's one:

I've just done a new video:

[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2E8wJYNzXI[/video]

I'm actually quite happy with how this turned out, not least because it's in HD! The fence did bugger the earlier ones (TK, Thomson etc). As I moved back towards the higher end of the Long Stay Car Park, the view did get better. The Aer Lingus turned out well, until the take off and I had a bit of trouble with zooming out. The PIA came out beautifully, the Flybe was fine and Monarch came out well too, especially the take off. I didn't even use a tri-pod, I just had to rely on resting the camera on those metal barriers. :dunno:

 

[Hassaan]

And if you can get more views for that video, please do so. :blush:

 

[Aviador]

I've just been watching the above scary video again... think I'll give it a miss from now. It's enough to put you off flying. :shok: :s_omg

 

[Ray Finkle]

Great video thanks for posting it :good:

Somehow I missed the three videos you posted before but the first one is a real trip down memory lane, BA, Eurocypria, Bmibaby, CSA, My Travel Lite, Flybe using the 737's, AI using the 772, PIA using the A310, Emirates using the A330 and I much preferred the old blue Turkmenistan livery.

Yeah, you've pretty much quoted everything.

If only the other BHX enthusiasts had the same sort of attitude. :crazy: Flybe leased those 737s I believe, you of course had BA operating their small cityhoppers to London from here, back before they realised it wasn't that viable. AI using the 772 is a good one, I hope we see a return of that in the future. Emirates used the A330 until about June 2009 (for the second daily).
