Some two weeks ago Air India started a direct flight between Delhi and Italy (Milan is the final destination and some days there is stopover in Rome).
The weather was good enough to get to the airport and finally see the Dreamliner in person. I've also taken lots of photos to the aircrafts taking off due to the very good light. Here is the result

Saw my 1st down in Houston, TX with a United flight landing at KIAH. Noticed the nose and then the engines. Nice pics.

Was in Copenhagen a couple of weeks back for a football derby, and decided to visit the spotting area at CPH. Imagine my surprise when a Qatari 787 appeared :D First time Id seen one of those 'in the flesh' so to speak.

After seeing the A380 and the 787 for the first time, this year I also managed to see my first Beluga.
I went to Nantes for some days and this was landing at the local airport coming from Hamburg.
I also ran the serious risk of visiting the Airbus factory in nearby Saint-Nazaire, but the ticket desk operator sold us the tickets without knowing our names were supposed to be on the security list 48hrs befor the visit... if you ever get there, keep in mind you have to book in advance or you won't be admitted to the factory because Airbus has strict rules!
