Douglas DC-8 and Boeing 707 : UNFAVORABLE WEATHER / RAIN /REDUCED VISIBILTY, Ostend Airport 

thanks , Christopher , another spendid reply , the austere weather creates as subdued peaceful impression as well as a mysterious " eerie" atmosphere , the raindrops only accentuated this , vintage gold : the very best , times of glory

Thanks Patrick

no need to worry , i take my precautions , always , sometimes i use an umbrella but not in this case , older analog cameras without fold out LCD displays are more robust more useful , to protect the equipment , at the time with old cameras i use a simple plastic bag ( bottom cut out ) , to cover the camera contours , i love all kinds of weather , i am an all-weather " interceptor "😄

thank you very much , this weather may not be to everyone ' s liking but it sure does it for me , glad to know you enjoyed those old tape recordings , classics make my days , greetz from Ostend

Indeed , Debbie , you can say that again, today it is a piece of cake , however the best times are gone , luckely MD11 /747/AN12 are still around , old tape technology served us very well at the time , however it required a lot of passion, dedication , effort and work to realise the final product , the easiest part was recording ( stabilisation did not exist ) , i always used the free hand techique , sometimes i had some support from the fence to improve stability , i was lucky to have had a special corner perimeter shot , could support my arms head-on and rear view , this pace is no longer available.As for the extensive edting , first i have to copy the tape on a DVD Recorder , since tape VOB files are not watchable without a cable connection, next; put the DVD in the dvd rom of laptop, copy this in documents , then convert vob file via handbrake into MP4 format( highest quality poss ) , then this file can be seen on laptop without cable connection, next editing , i use Movavi video editor , sometimes i edit the sound as well, then i can finally upload on you tube and facebook ( only lower resolution ) , as a final note , a big thank you to all who appreciate my efforts , i made it my life's work to preserve vintage designs and sounds for posterity , have fabulous , enjoyable days in New York !

si , concordo , atmosfera misteriosa , adoro la pioggia , grazie

Debbie , there is no need to explain , i understand and this is ok , no worries , thanks for liking my work !!😊

no worries , emotions of appreciation are just right , appreciated Debbie

Thank you Debbie no you did not say anything wrong would like to have met you for a beer going to Minesota in August take care!

@@patrickhunt9585 that would be an excellent suggestion, but I’d like to drink ractigino Romulan ale and Altair water just a little Star Trek joke. Take care my friend.

Hi , Debbie , another coincidence i guess , same minds think alike , i have always de a favorite of Americana cars , especially Ford/Mercury/lincoln family , i saved some brochures from those magical years until the mid seventies , Ford LTD , Thunderbird , Lincoln supremacy , i owned a Mustang 1968 for many years , great V8 sounds , and yes movies to be remembered : Vanishing Point ( Challenger ) , Bullitt (Mustang ) and the splendid detective Frank Cannon ( LINCOLN : a big guy for a big car ;) , only fond memories now

The last regular active freighter 707 at Ostend , final curtain end of March 2004😪

@@Ayrshore MHS 707until early 2004 , DC-8 a few years longer , last was Air Charter Express/ Meridian DC-8-63F ( 2010 )

@@patrickvereecke6654 I still often see the Samaritan's Purse DC8, I live next to the outer marker beacon for one of the runways at Prestwick.

@@Ayrshore wish i was there , even with CFM , nice , but prefer JT3D scream😉

is ok

not at all , a JT3D YES , but rare stage 3 Burbank Aeronautical hushkit modification !

Rod Serling was a genius , sadly passed away far too soon, love the black and white version ( DVD ) , i dislike the color versions , i remember those you mention, especially Hawai 5'O ( J Lord ) , MANNIX and CANNON , i discovered many of these from UK television, not from Belgian TV , of course vintage aviation moves , recorded some again from UK TV , some are not even available now on DVD , also all 50/60 ties movies especially sci fi and the horror genre , modern films like those no interest at all , too gross and realism out of the window , AI is a curse as well nowadays , have a nice day , btw do you have FB , whatever , nice to have you aboard
