Landing Shots from ISB...
I took these set of photos yesterday. Islamabad's weather that day was very wet and rain was just stopped and I managed to get these shots.
i) IL-76 on final approach.
ii) Another shot of same a/c
iii) MNG (73L) from Multan
iv) Backside angle
v) Just before touch down
vi) Airblue ED211 from Dubai on finals for Isb runway
Note the Red belly, it is fourth A320 for Airblue recently leased
vii) Another shot
I hope you all would enjoy the shots!

Haider, Mostly all the international flights departs Islamabad earliy in the morning, like BA departs 8.00 AM, EK, 9.00 AM sometimes 2.00 AM, KW 5.00 AM, Qatar 7.00 AM etc etc, It becomes really difficuilt for me to wake up early in the morning and go to shoot them.haider123 wrote:excellent pictures ..Adnan (AP BGL) nice job..

Yes, Saudi 777 has very good time to depart I think 12 in noon and sometimes 5 in the evening. Inshallah I would try to catch them in my camera the next time I go to runway.
BTW, Just for your information the 737 that PIA leased fron MNG are not for Hajj but for domestic operations.

Thanks Saad, PK777 & kamalla for the appriciation.
Haider, You are right these planes were landing from the side they usually take-off from reason being the bad weather. I dont know why but planes land from the opposite direction from take-off and vice versa. Inshallah will take some more pictures soon!

Well, yeah there's alot of cutting edge technology flying around.
Seriously, they'd probably just confisicate the camera or the memory card but thats pretty rare. A logical explanation would suffice. You're not tresspassing anyway.
If its just not your day, they'd ask you to give a little under the table money to let you off the hook. Then you could talk in English and cook up some story about having some pretty powerful relatives in some pretty high places. I used that on the outskirts of Masroor AB.
Leykin agar tu gora hai phir theik hai. They've opened their gates and archives to guys like Fricker, Steineman, Cooper, de Kruyff etc. You might even get a ride.

This time when I was taking the shots, A police man came to me and asked what I was doing and why? I told him about my interests and hobbies. He said Ok but it wil be more feasible if I could move a little backward from the acctual place I was taking the shots.
Nauman, If you are caught taking the shots seriously you could be in real trouble if you dont have any strong background or any relattionships as said by Valkyrie. There is more security in Islamabad coz Isb airport is attached with Chaklala airbase (PAF)... I hope you understand the condition.
