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.

LFPO 04/09/2014 Saudi B747SP

Post by Bruspotter »

Hi guys,

Last Thursday went out to Orly to see the departure of the crown prince of Saudi Arabia after a 4 day visit at Paris.
To depart where 2x B747-SP of Saudi Royal Flight.
In LBG where a B747-400 and B777-200 of Saudi Arabian Airlines for the rest of the delegation.

Weather started out quite grey but we where lucky to have just 2h of suneshine in the time-window in which the 747's would leave, and the right runway of course.

Maybe wasn't the longest spotting day ever but I was so glad catching these 2 gorgeous SP's in full sunshine, I would have never thought that I would actually see 2 of them on one day ... and that after only a month earlier I had missed the one from Bahrein , this is how revenge feels :mrgreen: .

Greets, Yannick

Yep, you took revenge, and then some!
Two 747SP movements in one day, in fair weather and on the "most favoured runway"... :)
