Hi guys!
To have something different again in this 'Dublin-post' after all the bad stories Pieter had during his DXB trip, I found another great picture on my CF card
(I really love this one myself... great colours for the B738, and great light conditions in my opinion). I hope you like it too, you'll never see this one in Asia for sure

Eric and Pieter...
wonderful....great day you guys had.
Might as well i join you guys someday.
TK, you're very welcome to join us somewhere... Pieter and me, we are both able to fly on staff tickets (Pieter as KL staff, I'm JL staff). So it wouldn't be a big problem to have a meeting someday!

That won't be the case as my memory-card was whiped out by the Dubai police-force
NO!!
Are they crazy overthere? Is spotting not allowed in UAE anymore?? That's why you came home a little earlier, I thought you was planning to return to AMS on Monday?A shame, Pieter got a nice big camera, and the policemen cleanup all of his memory already! Crazy fools

Welcome back home Pieter! Thanks for your additional pics here! They are good aren't they?
Your Nikon has a good photographer using it Try some 'cropping' and you'll get rid of fences etc. 
Hope to see some of your 'desert-stuff' soon here...

From what I've heard, the pushback driver was speeding with his vehicle. The too high speed while in a turn, made the pushback vehicle make a 180 degrees turn underneath the B747's fuselage.
The accident causes big problems in KL's flight operations.
It seems, EWR flights are now shifted from A330 to NWA DC-10 service
JFK gets B767 and A332 on the evening departure ex AMS
Toronto will shift to a B772

Hi Truie!

eric,
hehehe thanks for those awesome green buses!! a330 wingflex is always awesome!!
yeah, i did notice the new green fence last time i came back from the airport. didn't seem to ruin your photos at all though. i wonder if they choosed a green fence colour, so that it matches EI's green livery.....
btw, did u guys catch ryanair's new 738 with winglets?
cheers!
I really love the A330-200 myself, it is having the perfect shape!
The green fence is not good at all, unless the spotting hills become a little higher... The fence is visible in almost all pictures when not edited in Photoshop or other software. You've to crop the aircraft out in a new frame to get rid of this fence. Spotting conditions are a lot more worse then 6 months ago
Nope, no Ryanair winglets for us this time... Was really excited to catch one or a few, but the only special Ryanair was the 'Dreamliner' for us.

hi guys! my first post!!
Awesome pics btw......love the shamrock 330
nice to see you've got Gulf Air a332.....they've just started services to DUB....and yes.....upload more pics of DUB pleaaassee!! and more EI!!
Hi Ashraf!
welcome here at MW...
For you some more Shamrock alias Aer Lingus
When you visit DUB, you won't miss this green airline (just my 2 cents )
Another A330 (EI-LAX) lining up for her flight to the US!
One of Shamrock A321's arriving from LHR (most probably)
EI-ORD seen on arrival! Take care for the stupid high new fence surrounding the airport. It's been placed for security reasons!!
EI-DES coming in on finals, their newest A320! Just a few weeks in operations now.
Thanks for your comments guys!

wuhuuuuuu eric.......thanx for the nose of 'st maeve'. was it 'romeo delta' or 'romeo oscar'. if its the former, sounds ironic isnt it? seems perfect brightness at that spot for nose shots. good timing bro! captain is blatantly clear even with lower resolution. cheers eric and hope u enjoyed that 'shuttle' trip. and every minute counts!
"St Maeve" is actually A330-300 EI-ORD. Aer Lingus registered their A330's to airport codes (like -JFK, -ORD, -LAX, -CRK)
Higher resolution of St Maeve for Azahan...
And 2 more closeups for you mate
Embraer 170 SP-LDF of LOT Polish Airlines
And Ryanair's B737-800 EI-DHG speeding up the runway. Why you don't wave captain if you look @ me
For sure you don't see these planes ofter in SE-Asia. We sure liked the day overhere at DUB!

Hi there!
I'm just back from a daytrip to the Republic of Ireland, done together with Pieter
!We flew on Aer Lingus A320-200 aircraft (AMS-DUB on EI-DEJ, DUB-AMS on EI-DEC) in Y-class.
The weather was awful sunny, we didn't expect that much sun in Ireland (famous for the many rainshowers!!)
So we don't complain at all!I'm uploading here some impression of our tour with some pictures/text. As Pieter is off to Dubai from tomorrow, he will not have the time to do this now
Hope you like them,

Eric,
Nice picture, Eric...how long were you able to withstand the cold ?
Pieter
only a hour or so that I was there, it was freezing cold, although the sun was shining. A pity afterwards, when I waited 1 hour longer, I was able to shoot the Cargolux 744F (for maintenance) and the fuelstop of MH3 LHR-KUL (9M-MPL). But now I missed them both
Eric

Nice one...
Can anyone tell me what sort of gray drawings/logo or something on the fuselage?
TK,
that's a kind of flower, I think a Tulip. I'm not sure about the correct meaning of it, but it looks like a Tulip actually

Hey Pieter!
have you been @ AMS last Sunday if I'm right? It was great weather over the weekend, so I've bumped in for a hour or so just to catch this 'Turkish delight' arriving from Istanbul as TK1951 (TC-JNA)!
See you next week and you can show me your Nikon in DUBLIN
Now hoping for some sunshine over the Irish green fields 
Hope you like this TK A330 guys!

Hi Pieter
I saw you made a same trip as I did earlier this year, although Air France bumped me into one of their A319's
I'll bet their is not much difference to the A318, is there?Also the sandwich Varig is providing on the flight to AMS is a good choice in my opinion. For the short flight, this 'catering' is better then AF and KL offer in Y-class!
My flight was on PP-VQK that time, and seatplan was exactly the same as on yours.
Nice pictures too! Did you go out of the terminal for spotting or did you just transfer from T2 to T1 to catch your return flight?
Anyway, you were lucky that RG didn't cancel your return flight
They do that all the time...Thanks

Pieter
you really should get yourself a good tele lens soon! As you know, it was hard to capture this one, but the small Russian is in picture now!

Fingers crossed

Hi Pieter!
It was a beautiful day there wasn't it?! Really enjoyed going there with you to explore both Air Berlin and Tegel Airport! Nice pictures by the way. I was really convinced with and the C-32, and the B727, and the Czech Republic YAK-40 !
Here some pictures of me to share...

in Observation Hill

Thanks for your positive comments guys! I knew it was a good idea to share it here
Azman, yes Air Berlin is flying a B737-700 (+winglets) in this same livery (with Air Berlin on the tail ofcourse
). D-ABBN is the one you should look out for!
Goodluck,
Eric
