With 2013 over, it's time to reflect on the previous year and share your highlights - aviation wise that is.

In 2013 I managed to tick off 2 of the destinations from my travel bucket list - Moscow and St Maarten.

I also managed to get on 2 new types - a Do328Jet (Sun Air - MAN-BLL) and an A340 (Iberia MAD-LHR). I also made it on the inagural Virgin (Domestic) flight - MAN-LHR-MAN.

Complete flight listing:

• Billund - SunAir Do328Jet (New type)
• Munich/Frankfurt - BA Moscow - BA 744
• Larnaca - BA 763 New York/St Maarten - BA744 / JetBlue
• Madrid - BA/Iberia A340 (New Type)
• Munich - Singapore 77W/BA
• Virgin (Domestic) Inaugural Flight - MAN-LHR-MAN

But to top them all, I also launched PlaneLogger. :D

Hey all, I also achieved two of my many dream-spotter destinations : AMS and LHR ;)Also visitng Radom Air Show and NATO Days in Ostrava were my aims for the previous year. Manged to finally get on a Fokker flight with Austrian which just gave me a nice "classic jet" bonus while heading to the end of the year. My flight listing isn't as big but always : WAW-AMS-WAW Both KLM B737 WAW-STN-WAW Both RYR B738 WAW-VIE-WAW Both AUA F100

And of course at the end, congrats with the page. As I wrote before, great idea and superb work, keep it on! ;)

Hi, 2013 surely wasn't bad.

18 flights including:

• my first helicopter ride
• my first first time Japan
• first time A332 and A388 (also first time EK)
• first time C on Long Haul

Spotted both pokemon jets at HND, twice spotting in Vienna, the night opportunities there are simply magnificent. Spotted at a new airport (BRU, HND, NRT).

But most important, I started my glider training. Hope to finish this year.

I would like to congratulate nighthawk on making this page, a really fantastic job!

Outside of the UK, I managed to visit Schiphol, Frankfurt, Antalya, Istanbul, various Swiss airports/airfields, plus Brussels & Luxembourg briefly. Highlight was a short trip to Hong Kong on the BA A380 inaugural flight. On a down note, I was not impressed with the configuration - I thought it was cramped & rather easyJet-ish! I'm not an itinerant complainer & in fact I spent many enjoyable hours during 2013 at various venues. Good luck to everybody in 2014.

I only had 7 flights in 2013, But 2 of them were on Jetstars first 787 and that was my first time on one, Hopefully this year is better.

For me it was going to Cleveland for the Airliners International show. I had prepaid for a tour of the control tower @ CLE which was very nice and the controllers were willing to answer questions that we had. As far as the flying: 3 Boeing 737s, however one was a new model for me, and I flew on 1 new airline, with 2 new airports added:

FLL-CLE United Boeing 737-900 (New Airline - United [1st time] and 1st -900 series 737 for me)

CLE-BWI Southwest Boeing 737-300 (1st time transiting through BWI)

BWI-FLL Southwest Boeing 737-300 (2hr 35min turned into 2hrs and 55mins).

This year 2014 I will fly on my 1st Boeing 767-300ER operated by Condor and hopefully my 1st Airbus A330 (a -300 series)operated by Delta

I will add MXP, and FRA as new airports traveled to.

( I tally my flights on these sights: www.flightmemory.com , openflights.org , www.flightdiary.net).
