Hi all,
As our vacation home this year is just a 35 minute drive away from Toulouse, I kept an eye out for Beluga-flights as I still needed to photograph these. Everyday, early in the morning, the flights pop-up in Flightradar24 and so the family and I made the short commute to Blagnac to witness the departure of two Beluga’s. Not the best weather but I’m not complaining.
While we were there anyway, we also visited the very nice Aeroscopia Museum to make sure the kids got a proper educational and cultural moment. No photographs taken there though, as it was my third visit to the museum.
Other than that, things were quiet at Toulouse, with just two Airbuses in a position for a photo. Here are the results of one hour next to the runway:
1. Beluga nr 3, F-GSTC departed for St. Nazaire:

2. Followed shortly by nr. 4, F-GSTD, which left for Hamburg-Finkenwerder:

3. This A320neo F-WWIH for Avianca was nicely parked and photographable at the Delivery Center:

4. Nice to catch my second A220-300 of Air France. Seen here is F-HZUF leaving for Paris-CDG:

5. Turkish has snapped-up a few A350-900s originally destined for Aeroflot. They are in quite a hurry to have them enter service, hence the modified basic Aeroflot-livery. Seen here is F-WZGB returning to the stand after a taxi-test on the runway. It will become TC-LGK once delivered:

6. And my last photo is this lovely liveried C-160 Transall. This R212/64-GL is now owned by Ailes Anciennes Toulouse. It’s parked across the road, behind the fence, near an Airbus-hangar until they figure out where they are gonna park it; either at Ailes itself or at the Aeroscopia museum.

Hope you liked them!
Cheers!

Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Dear Anton,

In the morning or afternoon ?

Stéphane

Hi Stephane!
It was taken late morning/early afternoon. It was through the fence as the fence itself was to high.
Cheers!
