> Airbus is hinting it might resume production of the 'king of the skies' – the prospect of a new version is a tantalising possibility
As it often happens, all I wanted to do was to make a few simple tweaks in Tinble. Of course, one thing led to another, and I ended up implementing a new feature, fixing a handful of issues, and reworking the entire design.
I upload many of my photos and RAW files to the Internet Archive, but its web-based uploader is slow and clunky.
I stumbled upon these vintage airline signs right in the middle of Valetta. It looked like they were simply left hanging after the travel agencies they belonged to went out of business.
Monday, June 24 was the last day of my summer vacation. Unsurprisingly, I spent it capturing airplanes at NUE. I actually didn't plan to spend the entire day there: I just wanted to catch the Atlas Air Boeing 767-300ER. And since the...
We went on a week-long trip to Malta. We explored Valetta and the nearby cities, savored the local cuisine and wines, consumed copious amounts of Kinnie and iced vanilla latte, took loads of photos — and not a single time I thought about...
I thought I'd share my current ADS-B station setup. It runs on an Fujitsu Esprimo Q556/2 machine.

An Airbus A321neo Luftwaffe landed in NUE, and I was there to capture it.
I've been holed up at home for two days, because the weather wasn't exactly conducive to long walks. And besides, I has been binging on Gomorrah. But the weather couldn't stop me from going to NUE, because there was another chance to...
Tinble now features a search field in the top-right corner. You can use it to find article containing the specified search term.
I recently splurged for a Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR lens to go with my Nikon fc. I mostly use it for casual photography, but I thought that paired with the lens, the camera would make a small and lightweight supplement to my main...
> Put an experienced pilot in any airplane and chances are they will be able to fly it, albeit fairly roughly. That is because all airplanes follow the same laws of aerodynamics and gravity: pull back, they go up, push forward they go...
