Azman MN 1 Report post Posted January 2, 2006 Helliconia was here last week... but it was snowing quite a bit... only it's 4th visit to ZRH and never in good weather First it was delayed by 1 hour, then another 30 minute wait for startup because all the elephants were busy de-icing, then another hour before it completed de-icing... at least looking at it for the first time made me all warm inside New year's eve... weather seem to improve as we get to the new year: To Toronto: To Delhi with 2 hour delay.(AC has 2 aircraft everyday now in ZRH). Sky clearing... looking good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azman MN 1 Report post Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) morning between 10am and noon the action is dominated by the americans... CO, UA and of course, AA (2 flights) and DL: Of course, there were some regional traffic too (not too sure what this Privatair is doing in ZRH): A330 vs B744 - look at how much snow there was on the ground... There was a snow storm on Friday night but then the temp went up and by the time I took this pic it was already 7 degrees (about 15 degrees higher than the previous night).

Azman MN 1 Report post Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) Yeah, 340-600 is nice but somehow she does not quite turn me on like this baby here - amazing sound of those engines spooling up! Was hanging out at this rnwy 16 spot chatting to a local guru (Fabian with white 100-400 lens) and this charter turned up at runway 14 Edited January 3, 2006 by Azman MN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azman MN 1 Report post Posted January 3, 2006 yeah weather a bit crazy... last Wed when Helliconia was here... minus 5 degrees and snowing lightly. Friday night was minus 10 degrees and snowing heavily. Saturday night, it was 7 degrees, raining heavily and and all the snow was melting... some parts of Zurich were flooded. Then Sunday afternoon.. ahh... 10 degrees and the sun finally came out! As the sun was setting, all the Swiss came home... (rnwy14 approach) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azman MN 1 Report post Posted January 3, 2006 and before the inevitable question comes... Naaah EK as the sun sets.. you get a nice view of the alps from runwy 14... so good that I decided to go to the moutains the next day but it was false advertising - I got caught in a blizzard... ah well... back to normal shitty weather...
