Forum rules
ImageThis 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.

ZURICH WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM 2011

Post by Rob van R »

I have visited Zurich International Airport the last few days, namely Januar the 26th and Januar the 27th of 2011. For me the 2 days were fantastic, although we haven't seen the sun in those 2 days. Highlights for me were the 2 Ilyushin 76MD's of the Russian Air Force, The Colombian Air Force BBJ and the Azerbaijan Gulfstream. The French Air Force Airbus A330 and the Falcon 7X have no visible registrations on the plane, but were identified via a SBS system !

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Greetings Rob van Ringelesteijn

Nice shots! Makes me want to go there next year!
Did you have ramp-access or something, judging from the shots?
Cheers,
Gideon

What an incredible variety of (more or less) exotic bizzers and government planes. By the way, the Kazakhstan B757 has repositioned to Stuttgart. Had to be there for work today and made a short stop at the airport. Unfortunately no time to drive another few hours to Zürich....

Hay Gideon,

Buchair arranges every year ramp tours during the WEF. They make multiple tours per day !! Cost 30 Swiss Francs, but worth it
