HACKL Martin
... was born in November 1981and got in touch with civil aviation for the
first time about 10 years later - his first flight with German Wings and
the first photographs of Jumbo Jet "D-ABYB" at Dusseldorf Airport. Since
this day he visited many European airports and is always hunting 3-holers
and special colour schemes. After finishing his O-levels he started his
apprenticeship
to become a technican at Lufthansa Technik. Then he went back to school
and did his advanced techincal certificate. He started working with
Eurocopter for the NH90-Helicopter program. Today he is working for
Augsburg Airways at Munich Airport. That aviation doesn't become boring,
he spends the rest of his free time in the mountains walking, hiking and
skiing. So he gains enough motivation for his work and spotting.

MANSFELD Rüdiger
...
internationalism always
attracted his interest. Since 1984, still going to school, he went to the
airport Munich - Riem to enjoy the international flair. Due to his
relations he always considered Munich and Salzburg as his homebases. First
he just walked aroud the public arease and collected timetable brochures
and other publications of airlines. But already in 1985 he met some
spotters and since this meeting he went to the perimeter fences with a
borrowed camera. It took until 1992 when he could really start spotting at
a professional level, as he then could afford buying his own SLR - camera
with the appropriate zoom lens. This was possible after finishing his
advanced techincal certificate. At this time the new Munich Airport near
Erding opened its doors. Up to now spotting is the ideal compensation for
his seated office job, because he can move in the fresh air and live his
creativity taking photographs. Furthermore he enjoys having international
contacts, gaining through spotting. He also likes traveling to learn about
countries, its people, cities, architecture and airports. He likes going
in the mountains doing some walking and skiing.

POSCH René
... was delivered in August
1978. His first flight took place already two years later, on board a
Tarom BAC 1-11. Unfortunately all his memories on this highlight got
lost... Thanks to his parents he boarded many different passenger
aircarfts beeing a young boy (like Caravelle, DC-9-30, CN-235). As every
young boy in the kindergarten age need a hobby, taht deals with noisy
machines, he chose aviation. Later he graduated from a technical school
for aviation in Eisenstadt and applied for a job as a pilot with Austrian
Airlines, after beeing in the army. Surprisingly he made the multistage
selection and since 2000 he sits in the cockpit of an Airbus A320.
Contrary to some diabolic voices his assignment in the aviation business
didn't stop his private interest. Quite the opposite took place, it became
even worse. Since 2005 he is a spotter using its Canon EOS 20D camera.Besides
aviation there's still something more important for him: His family! His
wife Ninis and their kids Florian (born 2003) and Jessica (born 2006).
