      Eva  Maria 
      ... was born in Rosenheim at 
      31st December 1984. Taking photographs has always been a passion for her, 
      but primarly she took photographs of landscapes. Her enthusiasm for 
      aviation started with first visits to Munich Airport together with her 
      family and flights with various airlines. As she vistited Salzburg Airport 
      for the first time with her brother Andreas, she tried taking photographs 
      of planes. In Salzburg she also got in close contact to Berni Mueller, who 
      showed her how to spot. Since this moment she is fascinated about it. Her 
		job is child care in a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Her hobbies 
		beside aviation are crafting, reading and doing sports.

      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.

      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).
