Certainly, the security couldn't try to kill me for this. This was in my own back yard.

I think this is a 737.

A small weird airplane.

Unfortunately, my friend accidentally knocked my camera over with a football. So the camera reset itself. The lens never retracted, so the camera acted as if the lens cap was still on. Don't ask how this happened, but I managed to fix it with the means of a brass tack.

A Continental 737.

The same Continental 737.

That's it. Enjoy. Comments are certainly welcome.

I was able to identify the British Airways Boeing 777 as flight 187. Took a shot of it, but it came out horrible.

The "small wierd plane" looks like a private jet, maybe a Lear or Citation. Actually, it could be one of several different private jets.

I'd say Citation, and the first looks like 757.

Best regards,

First one is a 757. Pretty sure it's a -200 model with Rolls-Royce engines, but it's hard to tell for sure from the quality.

Second one is a Citation CJ1 or a CJ2. The way to tell is from the short fuselage and the fact that the intakes to the engines fully overhang the trailing edge of the wing. On the full-size Citation 2 and beyond, the engine inlets are aft of the trailing edge of the wing.

See, there must have been something about it that made me think that it might have been a Citation. I wasn't sure though. I couldn't really tell because it wasn't very close.

Yep that's definitely the outline of a Citation. Probably a 525.

Don't know the difference between Citations.
