My first attempt at planespotting. I ventured down to Coolangatta Airport recently and stood at the end of the runway near the Tugun Leagues club (north end). I didn't capture any keepers but thought these shots were a bit of a novelty.

interesting first effort.

with the second shot, whereas the plane looks ok, dont forget composition,

I think it would have look much stronger with the plane further to the right of frame, with more runway in the shot, assuming a lack of obstacles preventing this.

(more in keeping with the rule of thirds, sorta.)
