Ever since I was a child, it’s always been my dream to become a pilot. Unfortunately, due to unfortunate financial reasons, I could not afford getting a license to become a pilot. Although this was a drawback, I strengthened my aviation enthusiasm by photographing aircraft landing at Heathrow, this really got me attached to aviation and still does until today. Every day I look forward to plane spotting and I fly frequently on flight simulators to keep my mind fresh and learn about aviation every single day.
What I love about Heathrow is how busy it always is. I am very impressed by the number of aircraft coming from different parts of the world per hour, this is fascinating! In a matter of minutes, you can spot many aircraft coming in from Paris, New York, Cape Town, Tokyo, Beirut, Dubai… And let’s not forget the variety of aircrafts that fly into Heathrow, from the Dash 8 to the Airbus A380, it is extremely impressive! I would stand for hours on my feet and never feel tired of taking photographs.
My favourite aircraft livery at Heathrow has to be Middle East Airlines (MEA), it emotionally attaches me to a part of the world I admire and love very much. What I also love is that many airlines send their special liveries to Heathrow Airport and this drives me to go spotting every time I find out a special aircraft is landing or departing Heathrow.

The aerodynamics of the aircraft always surprise me, sometimes I would stare at an aircraft taking off and admire how it lifts off the ground. One other thing I’d never forget (and I always wait for when I fly), is the spool up of the Airbus 330-200 Rolls-Royce engines spooling up!
