Wanted: Romney's Mad Dog (no, not the one on the roof).

Wouldn't a picture of Clint Eastwood be off-topic here?

As I can see, it's an MD-83. Does anybody know the reg?

That's 15,000 miles for africaspotter.

This beauty (the 787, not africaspotter ) will visit BRU on monday, Brussels Airport is offering a private visit to 60 lucky Facebook fans but I'm not selected

Any new request(s) for november ?

Or December?

I'd like to see how else I'm unable to earn miles.

Guilty

Hey, there still are a couple of unanswered motive requests on the list. And new 787s are being delivered all the time now. BA's A380 is due soon. And even the A350 made a first appearance. Why aren't all these motives in the db yet?



Seriously, I hardly find the time to illustrate the Daily these days (the position of a news editor is still open as well ), so I don't notice what motives we are still missing in the db.

But how about that:

• Every photo of a new-to-the-db airline (with a recognizable color scheme, no all-white charter operators) earns you 5,000 miles (2,500 if it doesn't pass quality screening).
• Every photo from a new-to-the-db airport (with at least an IATA code) earns you 5,000 miles (2,500 if it doesn't pass quality screening).
• Every first photo of a retro scheme or new full airline color scheme or full special scheme (full = full paint job, not just a special sticker) earns you 2,500 miles (1,250 w/o quality).
• Every "first photo of this aircraft type with this airline" combination and every "first photo of this airline at this airport" combination earns you 1,000 miles (500 w/o quality screening).

Browse your archives for stuff that we don't have yet - upload it - earn extra miles.

Only 1 bonus per photo, though - naturally, if you upload a photo of a new airline, it is also the first of that airline at that airport. So you will only get the "new airline" bonus then.

And please keep posting photos that qualify for any bonus here in this thread. There is no way we can check proactively if a photo qualifies or not.

And since I am not always online these days - if you haven't received your miles latest a week after posting a photo, do feel free to remind me. There's every chance I missed your shot.

Any chance of retro-active bonuses ?

Sure. Post a new retro-jet and you'll get an active bonus.

If I post an active jet, can I get a retro bonus?

A rolling reversal would work well in that situation...

COA320NEO, while I take full responsibility for butchering your name, I take no responsibility for these shenanigans

Okay, do we have more applicants for a weekend in the cooler?

Motive requests are serious business...
