A pop in on the Friday evening first. Not much around but shot this Dash 8.
Back next morning early to catch the KMV Tu204 due out at 07:10. Here it is on turn around as dawn begins to break in the background.

… and finally ready to go, 45 minutes late with the sky now light, the floodlights no longer effective, and the vampires off home to bed.
This is how the mountains to the south-east looked 15 minutes earlier.
So an overcast day ahead! Snow/rain was forecast but luckily it held off until the rain in the late afternoon into evening. Starting off pretty cold too, as this Austrian airbus would agree.
A gaggle of Russians.
Samara going out
A couple of British ski flights approaching from the mountains.

Fantastic shots there like the two TC 757 shots with the mountains in the background. 😎 and thats a brilliant sunrise photo like how the orange and yellow mix with each other.

330, the sunrise is three shots taken in succession and joined as a panorama.

Lovely shots mate – liking the first shot of the DHC-8. That sunrise shot is a real stunner too! 🙂
