AMS: windy, cold… and a DC-8!!!!

Very stormy today. Which is bad because it gets cold and it is harder to keep your camera steady. But it is also very good, because only one runway can be used for landings! So for once I did not miss a single incoming plane. Screwed up a fair share of photos due to the wind, but at least I got to see the planes! And the highlights of the day where all shot quite well!

The highlights where first and foremost a DC-8 from Silverback Cargo Freighters. Who? Yeah, I did not know them either. Nice livery though

The other highlights where an Eqyptair A330, a type Eqyptair only received a few months back. Also an Aeroflot 767 (new livery) was nice to see. Normally we only get A319s and A320s. But this 767 came in for maintenance at KLM.

Anyway, here they are. All 26 of them. So if you are on dial-up, you can still press the return button! :diablo:
