atmalik thanks mate :) I also want to get some shots of the A340 from the outside having flown on them so many times but most of them come in either early morning or late afternoon and so far I've not managed to do aircraft spotting at either of these times, but, will get to it one day !

A couple of classics, the first one is a B737-2T5 in Air Botswana colors which in turn is leased from an SA company called Safair hence the SA regs.

And the second one is even more special. This is an MD-80 (DC9-32 ZS-GAJ) that belongs to Global Aviation in South Africa. Its coming back to Johannesburg after collecting the FIFA SWC trophy from Zurich. A very special aircraft with a special color scheme :)

On the subject of classics, or should I say slightly older aircraft, here is another one, B737-219F that belongs to Star Air Cargo. So you think some day they will paint this aircraft in an interesting color scheme ? :)
