Hello all, finally I had some time to select and edit the pictures. Total photo’s taken this day: 584, Total uploads: 77 😯
So here we go! (I also put some REALLY big shots at the end) keep scrolling. Enjoy:
The day started really soon as the alarm went around 5am. Weather was looking really good with 25 degrees celsius. Again till 3pm runway 27R was for landing and after 3pm swithed to 27L.
BMI, Airbus A319 finals 27R.
British Airways, Boeing 757-200, 27R.
Looking towards Terminal 4, With 2* Continental, Boeing 777-200, 1* Delta, Boeing 767-400 and a Qantas, Airbus A380 wich is a little lager then the rest.
Ethiopian, Boeing 757-200, some light vortexes crossing the tail.
Then we moved to the other side of runway 27R, where we met some other dutch spotters. The place:
Continental, Boeing 757-200WL, 27R.
American Airlines, Boeing 767-300 from Dallas, 27R. Cool reflection.

Turkish, Boeing 777-300, 27R.
Virgin Atlantic, Airbus A340-600, 27R. ”Sleeping Beauty”
British Airways, Boeing 747-400 from Maintenance, think she had a quick wash before departing to India at 0300pm.
When the grass is green and the tail is red it must be an British Airways jet.
Airbus A319CJ from Daimler Chrysler Aviation special charter service. I like the kind off jeans look on the tail and Fuselage
Air New Zealand, Boeing 747-400, 27R.
Middle East Airlines, Airbus A330-200. With the reg just like the airliner. Cool.

Some of the shots here would be wonderful were it not for the fact they look as though they were shot through a red filter. If you leave the white balance on Auto or adjust it to the conditions you’re shooting in then you shouldn’t have this problem, and it is a problem! It sadly makes what would be a very, very enjoyable post very average.
