Great webpage for statistic-fan air passengers: http://flightdiary.net/

Data of my flights: http://flightdiary.net/Usrin

It's a pity that I barely remember which airplane types did I fly with... I was always more interested in trains. When flying, rather the landscape and the weather take my attention (so having a seat at the window is the most important).

Thanks Usrin, great website! I will try to put together my diary - altough luckily less flights lately...

Damn, yesterday I missed the lowest flying B747-8F of my amateur airplane fan era - only by a few seconds (I heard it, but couldn't see). Usually they fly 800-1200 m high over our flat, now it was only at 600-650, according to flightradar24.com.

The same for today. (my new avatar is about the shorter 747-400 of Cargolux, flying at about 900 m - it has an incredible sound)

Just checked and realized that you "emitted" 0.29 kg methane with your flying activity. And probably other 20 kg with farting.

Sorry, I ate Brussels sprouts yesterday. It's a pity that www.fartdiary.net doesn't exist.

Yes, it would be cool to see and compare.

What about these weirdos? (I think Beluga is really ugly, while Dreamlifter looks almost like an A380)

[Usrin]

I agree. But Beluga is for carrying oversize load, so the designers had very limited possibilities.

What about such an airplane: http://www.innovationnewsdaily.com/1568-supersonic-flying-wing-nasa.html ? Not a giant, but would be faster than these whales.

Dreamlifter was made for the same purpose, but it's still close to "nice". Beluga is Quasimodo.

Even Concorde was useless, why to force hypersonic flying? (okay, it's cool in Transport Tycoon, unless you install the vacuum train patch )

Although I still owe the results of the estimation game to you, I have to tell that Boeing 747-8 is the second longest airplane on Earth (behind AN-225 Mriya), while the huge whale A380 is not even a podiumer.

From the aspect of airplanes, yesterday was far the richest day of my life - 4 different types of 2x2 engine aircrafts: the small Avro RJ100 (Swissair) and the big birds: Boeing 747-400 (Cargolux), Antonov 124 (Volga-Dnepr Airlines) and my first Ilyushin IL-96 (Aeroflot) ever, see below. Moreover, an A310 cargo plane of Turkish Airlines also arrived as a surprise.

We landed on Friday from Istanbul 90 minutes before the airport was closed

Btw, I recall what I said on the Boeing-777. It can be a great plane, if well equipped and furnished
