Tip if you wan't to make inflight videos

Today I like to ask you a tip if you wan't to make inflight videos to share on Youtube or other Aircraft websites. I made a tip on my Youtube before so I thought it might be a good idea to tell you a tips here instead.

I don't have a lot of tips but I do have one which it is annoying that is kids crying or screaming their lungs off so if you have children or a single passenger sitting in front or behind kids and they start to scream really loud continue to film if it's taxi, take off and landing, go to your video editor, find your video with kids screaming and cut it off then make your videos graphical. I tell you why kids starts to cry and scream so loud is because the eardrum inside the ear starts to pop it will hurt for kids and babies I don't have problems with babies on planes.  

However if children continue to scream during taxi, take off and landing I suggest not to film inflight videos  because your inflight videos might not been been a great success due to children scream. For example on my Youtube channel I updated a news saying "News: I'm happy to say my Air Malta 9H-AEQ full flight video from London Gatwick - Malta 23rd January 2013 has been a success it will be on Youtube soon" that's because there are no children screaming during taxi, take off and landing etc. Otherwise if you wan't to upload full flight videos with children screaming it's your choice because you will get more dislikes on Youtube and very bad comments for a example of comment "Great video but I can't stand listening kids screaming the rest of the video I'm sorry I will never watch the video ever again."

So there you go I hope this might help for plane spotter from around the world.

What is the most important photo you wan't to shot when your on the plane?

This photo on Air Malta 9H-AEQ in Sicily Airspace you can see the moon in the background. I wish I like to film a sunset or sunrise with the sky colour changed but it did kinda happen to this next photo.

This one on board Air Malta 9H-AEO descending to London Gatwick at 10:20am weather forecast a pretty cloudy but when I landed in Gatwick the weather turned out nice with strong sun light!

Maybe you are interested try to and spot another plane in mid air and take photos and identify what airline it is. The problem is it's very difficult to zoom the camera and try to find where the plane is even you don't know what the registration is you can always go on FlightRadar24 and find out what it is. 

This photo is Emirates I don't know if it's Emirates Sky Cargo or just Emirates it self taken 30th January 2013.

Maybe you are interested seeing the view of other countries and take photos the the mountains between France and Switzerland.

 Or this one here on board Ryanair EI-EVC taken 26th July 2012. This photo was taken early morning departed Malta on Ryanair flight FR8742 to Bournemouth but what you see is Sicily in the background.

And finally you wan't to take photos while the plane is on the ground. This photo here was on Air Malta 9H-AEO again but in Apron 8 which is located infront the Air Malta Hanger and old former terminal building now currently used as cargo centre.

Expo Aviation's classic DC-8

This could be the oldest aircraft in my photo is still in operational other than Boeing 707. The cargo company Expo Aviation or Expo Air how people say is a Mc Donnell Douglas DC-8-63 was new to Seaboard Airlines in 1969 ex N8639. Her recent owner was BAX Global ex N867BX from October 1997-December 20th 2005. Her first cargo service was Cargolux Airlines International in 1979 registered TF-FLC it carried on to other airline cargo for Air India, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Icelandair and more until 1997 as I said before.

Expo Air only had 1 fleet her base comes all the way from Sri Lanka but what you see on this photo 4X-EXJ taken 29th January 2013 arrived in Malta from FRJ unfortunately I don't know what airport it is then it stops in Malta if it was a refuel stop until few hours later it wen't to Cairo, Egypt. I miss it's departure because I was busy packing to go to London Gatwick the next day. 

What happen to Efly?

Efly was a low cost carrier by Luigi Crisipino for luxurious and low cost flights for Sicily and Malta. Efly first operated on 19th September 2009. Efly only operated from Malta to Catania but unfortunately the airline failed it's licence to operate as a commercial airline it only operated for 2 short months. This was due to tough competition for Malta-Catania routes just like Air Malta currently operates and Efly struggles with entry and vehicle ramp access in Malta International Airport. 

This aircraft registered 9H-ELE is a BAE 146 built by British Aerospace was new to Makung Airlines in 1994 ex  B-1778. In 2003 it joined Flybe fleet ex G-JEBG with Mansion Casinos painted until in 2009 it ported to Malta. What happen to the aircraft now? This photo taken 29th January 2013 is still stored at Medavia hanger in Malta  

If Efly was still in service it would have been a good service to operate not just Malta-Catania but other very short haul destinations like Malta-Tripoli, Malta-Palermo and Malta-Tunis in my opinion.     

What happen to British Jet?

Taken in Malta August 2006

British Jet was an owner of Hello AG based in France. This aircraft was Swiss registered HB-JIB is a Mc Donnell Douglas MD-90-30 was new to Cyprus Turkish Airlines in 1997 ex TC-KTD. MD-90 was one of the latest Mc Donnell Douglas aircraft to be built back in the late 90s before it was merged to Boeing.

This aircraft was delivered to Hello in August 2004 until 2005 it joined British Jet. Now you might be thinking how many fleet British Jet had and what routes it operated, British Jet headquarters was in Malta it only had 1 fleet and it only operated from Malta to major airports in the United Kingdom except Northern Ireland.

British Jet operated in UK airports were:

England

• Birmingham International Airport
• Bristol International Airport
• Exeter International Airport
• Leeds Bradford International Airport
• London Gatwick
• London Stansted 
• Manchester Airport
• Newcastle Airport
• Norwich International Airport

Scotland

• Glasgow International Airport

Wales

• Cardiff Airport

In 2008 British Jet was withdrawn when it was leased from Hello but Air Malta extended the MD-90 fleet January 2008 only for a lease still from Hello until it brought back to Hello fleet  in April 2008. Before Hello Company was shut down in 2012, Hello decided to sent HB-JIB to Delta Airlines in the United States in February 2010. It's now registered as N918DH.  

London Gatwick, UK South Terminal 23rd January 2013

Before I headed to Malta I wen't to few cafe and restaurants in Gatwick South Terminal which use to be an outside viewing gallery back in the old days. When I was in Gatwick in 23rd January it was also the day of my 22nd birthday. Weather back in Gatwick was still snowing but it wasn't snowing too much since they cleared all taxiway and runways.

Flybe G-JEDU was new to Flybe in 2004 ready for push back seems it was going to Jersey if I remember.

Flybe has 47 Dash 8 Q400 in the fleet for flights all over Britain, Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, France and Republic of Ireland.

Virgin Atlantic G-VROY Boeing 747-400 nick named Pretty Woman was new to Virgin Atlantic in June 2001 it arrived in Gatwick from America. If you noticed you can see the different logo between G-VROY and G-VROM in the background is different.

Easyjet G-EZDL Airbus A319 was new to Easyjet in 2008 pushing back for departure.

This is flight Air Malta 9H-AEQ Airbus A320-200 was new to Air Malta in 2007. I have finished filming this aircraft ready to be put on Youtube. When I have plans going to Catania from Malta it will be Airbus A320-200 if it's the 1990 colour scheme or the new 2012 scheme.

Jet2 G-CELK Boeing 737-300 was new to Luthansa in 1989 ex D-ABXK which is a rare visit in Gatwick believe it or not. Most British Airliers you see in Gatwick are: British Airways, Easyjet, Flybe, Monarch, Thomson, Thomas Cook and Virgin Atlantic.

Emirates Airbus A340 in Malta

Since late 2012 Emirates decided to take Airbus A340-300 on route to Malta via Larnaca from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I don't have lot's of Emirate's A340-300 aircraft photos last month this was not my first time I saw Emirates Airbus A340 in Malta I saw one in July last year only for 1 day visit until late 2012 Emirates sends more than Airbus A330-200. These two photos was taken 26th January 2013.

These two photos of Emirates Airbus A340-300 registred A6-ERT was new to Singapore Airlines in October 1996 registered 9V-SJE it was deliverd to Emirates in 2004. A6-ERT in these photos taxi to depart runway 31 in a windy day.

This is my first A430 video in Malta taken July last year. A6-ERS was new to Singapore Airlines in April 1996 registered 9V-SJD it was delivered to Emirates in 2004.

Here is another A340-300 this time A6-EER taken 29th January 2013 was new to Singapore Airlines in December 1997 registered 9V-SJK it was delivered to Emirates in 2004. This is my last Emirates A340-300 photo before I flew to London Gatwick. According to Emirates website they have sent out Boeing 777 again. Last time Emirates send Boeing 777 to Malta was in 2012. I did take photos of Boeing 777 in 2006 but the quality from the camera wasn't that good when I had a 5 megapixel camera 7 years ago. Emirates has now sent Boeing 777 to Malta again since 1st February 2013.
