Lovely set there.
I still think the Basler is ugly. The old lady needs big jugs to spin those props.

RE: Madrid
Not really nice for spotting. The best place is the viewing terrace at T2 which gives you direct views to the runways and platforms. And in case you got a car take the motorway to Alcala de Henares and at Coslada get out and try to get a perimetral road. In any case itΒ΄s hard to get over there, since there are lots of controls.

RE: Madrid
it does have one of the longest Runways in EU
due to it being the highest city above Sea Level in EU, When i say about spotting i mean positions to take good shots, but yes it does get some different airlines going through.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-10-02 AT 04:39Β PM (GMT)]Yes, I agree. I went there once and saw quite a few Latin Amercan carriers which I had never seen before also its probally the best place to see Iberia wide bodies. I remember seeing IB DC-10s and 747s which was a first for me. Apparently Madrid has one of the longest runways in Europe.

RE: Madrid
Barajas Airport doesnt have a whole going for it, except the 3 times weekly SIA service of a 747-400. Not the best spotting airport either, but then again it’s not the worse try being adjacent to the main runway if you can.

Keltic will be the right man to answer this. π
