I edited in 2 sizes ( which I regret after all
)1024 pix; these shots go to ATI or are not that good
1280 pix; good enough for the web, to bad for ATI
Frankfurt, day 1, 2 and 3
The weather at Frankfurt turned out to be terrible, 20 degrees with a hazy blue / white sky isn't my thing. It was hard to find some 'action'.
Although I noticed some potential good spots which I 'll visit when the time and weather is right.
1 Arty-farty Lufty A346
2 One of my goals; 787
3 I love this one; B-2086 Air China landing at the 'new runway'.
4 B-2086 Air China 777-300ER taxing to the gate. You get 2 shots for the price of one
5 Head-on with her majesty
6 Lufty Queen
7 Italian Embraer, taken at spot 5. They've build some concrete 'hill' for spotting purposes. I think it's way to small when the 'general public' finds that spot.
8 Bye-bye BMI, I loved this livery
9 AirCanada at sunset
10 TAM near that terrible spot along the A5, I hate the noise coming from the highway
11 'Wir lieben fliegen' at sunrise
12 Lufty 346, taken with 700mm and still you 've to crop . Everything happens so far away.
13 Arty-farty Lufty A346
14 Air Dolomiti
15 Taxing after landing at the new runway.
16 Take a look inside engine 2
17 Early morning postmen
18 AirCanada
19 Not the worst angle for an A380
20 Whale plane
21 I like the shadow from the tail.
22 Finally, I 've found a good 'banking-spot'.
================================================================================================
Munich day 3 and 4.
This airport is a true banking and spotting paradise !

28 RA82068 AN-124 Polet Airlines
29 RA82068 AN-124 Polet Airlines
30 Which engine is closer by ?

33 It's not hard to shoot those tiny planes like A319's in a banking position.
34 Lufty 343
35 US-airways from the spottershill
36 Germanwings
37 Norwegian
38 Emirates A380 banking ( backlight warning )
================================================================================================
Innsbruck, day 4, 5 , 6 and 7
Innsbruck was very disappointing, the weather was terrible and with only 12 flights a day the traffis was light. I'll be back
The rest of my time I spend with my girlfriend. She flew with Transavia from Rotterdam to Innsbruck, for the same amount of money I spend on Diesel between Frankfurt and Munich
I took 2 shots worth of showing here.
39 After hours and kilometres of driving I ended up with a nice shot from Transavia coming in from Rotterdam,..........
40 D-ABLB AirBerlin 737 turning base-leg for runway 08 circle to land at Innsbruck. Taken from my holiday apartment.
===============================================================================================
Zurich, day 7, 8, 9 and 10
What can i say; this airport is so fun to visit, lots of good photo-spots, nice traffic, lots of fog in the morning and the awesome 270 degrees-departures. I love it
