Hi all. Hope everyone's having a good start to the long weekend. Here's a few shots of a cargo flight in a TNT (by SGA) Airbus A300 freighter from Rotterdam to Budapest.


It was very overcast along the Dutch coast but cleared up quickly as we headed east and was sunny by the time we were over Germany.

You can see my halo shining out thru the cockpit window :p

This livery shows well against a blue sky

Great shots Gord. :cool:
Usually see a TNT bird parked up at Stansted most days, not too sure which aircraft.

I love those nasty weather shots. The fair weather ones are real nice too!
