Got to see this while sitting in my front yard, it’s absolutely beautiful, and I’m really happy I was able to see it because they usually don’t fly close enough for me to see them!
C-5m Super Galaxy Flyover while plane spotting
Camera used:
Nikon Coolpix P900
Settings for plane spotting:
Set to Shutter speed mode
Shutter speed: 1/1100-1/1250 (ranging on speed and distance of plane)
F-stop: F4.0-F6.3 (depending on how light it is outside, or clouds in the sky, sunset/sunrise)
The C-5m Super Galaxy was around 15,000’ to 17,000’ and about 5-7 miles out.
Getting Flightradar24 on your phone can really help with planespotting to tell what planes fly over and where, and also what speed altitude they are. If your planespotting this is a great way to help you
