at half pas 9 the weather turned grey, on my way back this S61 flew over me. It is a commercial aircraft leased by the dutch coastguard for SAR duties.

It proceeded to buzz the main Tower at Schihol

Great shots. I love the UPS. Nothing better than moody dark skies and sunshine.

Thanks guys.

The Transavia and Pegasus were shot against a darkening sky with the sun behind me, a little tweaking in photoshop emphasised the contrast. Hope you like it. I am still learning, but it is hard to stay consistend. As a side effect the Pegasus came out a bit more reddish and the Transavia blueish.

Nice photos! I am really wondering where you shot them. The first few, on the Zwanenburgbaan, what spot where you? I am familiar with a spot on the final approach, but not touch-down shots.

Looking at Google Maps I believe you where at the end of the Koetsiersstraat, the street running paralel to Tweeduizend El? I thought that place had been fenced of, has it been opened again?

You did not go to Sail then? I went to Sail, but did not make photos.

Really smart set of images but last couple depicting transavia and pegasus 737s are a bit special in contrast terms.:)
