Hello. New Member!
Just seen these two aircraft above me (NCL) and was wondering what they are. Sorry about the quality :-)

A Fedex Airbus and some flavour of BAe146 ?

I'd go for a Thomas Cook Airbus for the first one.

EGNT you might like to try this (http://www.airliners.net/quiz/). You may find it informative as well as good fun. :)

C17 Globemaster and an A300/310 (though possibly a B767), in revesre order. What is number 3? Several planes there dude. The 146 has a far less bulbous nose the C17. It's also smaller with a very different tailplane/stab shape and a higher aspect narrower wing set further back. I would not say that C17 is white either, definately grey when compared to the white on the other aircraft. Therefore probably military and therefore a good chance of being a C17 Globemaster.

I would have said that pic 21 was a 767-200 judging by the nose & wing config. Cant pick the airline though (Malev perhaps). It seems to be the same as the aircraft at the bottom of pic 17 too.

On pic 17, that is definately a C17.

Definitely more of a C17 about the second one than a 146.

First looks very Airbussy.

I've just stumbled upon this thread and wondered WTF it's doing in JB?
Is this not meant to be a haven from all things spotty!?

The first is a Fedex A300 i believe but i am pretty confident that the second is a C17.
Thanks for the replies

Second picture looked like an IL76, though the engines do look a bit CFMish
