Fabke,

Just returned myself from Madrid also, where abouts were you taking the shots from?

How far is it of a walk from T1????

Glen.

Sorry for the late reply 🙁

We arrived at Terminal 4 and took a bus which drives to Barajas city , I think it’s numbered 201 , you pay 1 euro and after driving no longer than 5 minutes you’ll arrive at the metro station (first stop) where you have to leave the bus , behind you on the left side you’ll see a hill , go to that hill and climb on it , from here you will see most traffic passing by 😉

This must be the most used spotting place if you don’t have a car , most photos you see on PP and Airlines are taken from there , only problem might be the fence you’ll get on all you photos but you have sun in the back all day and you won’t get problems with the Police or other security services , even not in the terminals

Just be carefull with heat waves , even when it’s cold you can’t take photos of planes which are far away , there is that many concrete that the heat waves are very ennoying…

Thanks guys for the nice comments 😀 , taking photos at CDG is strictly forbidden except if you have a written permission , I have been checked 2 times by military people and have been asked to show my ID-card and the permission , they were very friendly with me but I don’t know what happens if you don’t have the needed document :rolleyes:

These boards can be found all around the airport on the fence , I took all photos from the parallel taxiways in front of the Sofitel hotel and at the meteo station , didn’t get problems at all , getting airborne shots isn’t that easy as CDG is a big airport and it’s very difficult to park you car near the fences…

If someone needs info on how getting this document , I can send you a copy of my written letter 😉

Great shots! Really have to get back there some day.

One question though, the Hewa Bora 767… is that now on all flights? I have not seen the HBA tristar and really really really want to see it!

Thanks , too bad but I’m affraid you won’t see the Tristar anymore as it is on the black list (banned planes in Europe) 😎
