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. |

Prague-Ruzyne LKPR 31-05-2009
I went to the first time ever to the Czech Republic. I expected a very poor country but I was really suprised from what I have seen... I am in love in Czech Republic
Back to business...
First the pictures of my departure with KLM PH-OFJ. Thanks to the very kind flight attendants who gave me a window seat only for departure
Very early departure, just one early bird at the Polderbaan.
Never seen this company before, along with loads of other airlines at PRG...
Finally my first Smartwings.. It ceased operations to Amsterdam a couple of years ago.
And my first Norwegian as well
I really like Dash aircraft! Again, a new one for me.
Then it started raining, so we went to our hotel to drop our luggage... I knew we had airport view in this hotel. However, I think it is not too bad if this is your view:
Too bad Fischer Air went bankrupt as the owner went into politics
After the heavy shower we went downtown (pix will follow later) We returned just on time to see this beauty:
New and old colours. I think the name CSA in the triangle will vanish soon to make it Czech Airlines...
More to follow soon!

Indeed, currently it is Travel Service which is operating for SkyEurope. Smartwings won't be often at Amsterdam right, so I am glad I got OK-SWU en SWV since it are very clean colours

Great company, great aircraft:
One of the several Norwegians at Prague, this time a Boeing 737-800
I flew this airline to Ostrava, never heard from that airline before...
My very first City Airline as well...
Wow, again Dash 8-400
Normally a 737-400 visits Prague... This time UR-VVO
OK-YAC
Just one jumbojet in Prague. Never seen it though
Along with Travel Service O2, this plane has a stunning livery...
And a overview taken from the multi storey car park next to our hotel:

Nice pics.
How are the spotting possibilities at Prague? Did you have any trouble with the police?

Nice report.
That is some reason for concern young man......because I like planes more if there are both planes and nice womans......
I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.

Thanks for the comments
Just take a passport with you to identify yourself in case of. Taking pictures around the airport is absolutely not prohibited despite there are any signs.
They are pretty fine, sure! Take a look here: http://www.planes.cz/lite/PRGspot.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;jaah wrote:Nice pics.

The reason I asked about the police was because I know Czech police is not always friendly to foreigners.

Re: Prague-Ruzyne LKPR 31-05-2009
I think that is because of the worse English they speak. More Czech people have these problems because Czechoslovakia was a part of the Sovjet Union around 1940 right, and the Czech people had to learn Russian and Czech on school as Russian didn't really like England until ?1990? when the USSR fell apart.
But back to basic. Except of security inside the airport fences I haven't seen any police either security. Just when I arrived the security took a look at me, as I had my tripod with my standing on a higher wall to watch over the fence to see planes vacating runway or lining up...

Some additional shots, this time from Prague City:
Aahhh, nice little watch
Street view as shown below makes clear Czech Republic was a former part of Russia Federation with communist influences.
