What are your 'photography targets' for 2005? What airlines or aircraft do you want to catch for the 1st time up close this year?

Mine:
Titan airways B757-200
Antonov 124 or 22
Balkan holidays TU-145

...you?? ;)

The A380.
The constellation flying (only seen it on the ground).
Ilyushin 76, any airline will do.
Anotonov 225.
KLM Airbus A330! Coming to an airport near me this year! :D

The Rekkof F70 :D (assuming that's still on obviously, fat chance!)

Last year I would have said the Balkan Holidays Tu154, but I bagged that in MAN last September (albeit distant but I could do nothing about that :( )

Any Russian-built aircraft would be high on my list. Also an A330 of SN Brussels Airlines. I've photographed the rest of their types, but not the 330.

I am hoping to see the Sun-Air Dornier in BHX in September. Also I keep hoping for a glimpse of BHX's exotics like Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan and Mahan.

But I can hardly go spotting, so when I do, anything is fair game :D

Not sure if it's Ok to bring this up again, but I thought it would be cool to see if anyone has got pictures of the aircraft they wanted to?
Out of my list I saw a Balkan TU-154 with my old camera, and an AN-124 with my new camera.

Il76 - missed that one
747SP - missed that one as it turned out to be a standard 747
FRA+AMs - did those
Maha Air A300 - turend into A321s this year and those are boring

But instead I got me a Cubana IL-62.
