Thanks Raj, don't forget the DC-6 topic !!! :pardon:

 

Meanwhile this is what passed my lens during my break:

 

Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander (with 4-bladed props :o ) from the East-Frisian part of Germany. the name is "Juist", which is one of the Frisian Islands off the German coast (between the Netherlands and Denmark):

PH-PBA is the 2nd Dakota, operated by the DDA Airlines; it's in a halve AF-halve KL livery; which AF scheme do you prefer, guys, the current one or this 1950's one ?

Hope you liked these...

Had a chance to have a close look at the D-check of PH-BFE during my lunch-break :pardon:

 

Here a close-up look of the Business-Class receiving complete new windows ! Note the 'Boeing 747' on the all-silver fuselage (part of the old colourscheme of KLM) :o :

AMS27aug2007009.jpg

 

This 747-400 should be ready again in about 2-3 weeks...

Some really nice visitors today, which I was able to photograph as well :good:

 

First picture to share are these twin-sisters :pardon:

One is Brazilian registered ( :yahoo: ) and the other Bermudan...both new for me ;) :

AMS28aug2007004.jpg

 

The other was one of my favorite props; shown here on departure and in the Armee de l'Air livery (the crew saw me photographing and made a full stop for me to get a better picture: merci beaucoup a cette equipage !!!):

Look, who's back ;) :

AMS11sep2007010.jpg

Used to be flying all over Europe with TAP before, now with re-fitted engines and winglets...

 

Head-on view of VP-BJD: look at those 'giant' engines :blink: :

AMS11sep2007012.jpg

 

Dedicated to Gibby: kinda like these colours !!!:

Originally designed by Mitsubishi is this sleek jet:

Kinda like the sleek lines of the Learjet, this Romanian example visiting Schiphol on the 14th:

AMS14sep2007001.jpg

 

United N773UA had some engine-problems during climb-out and returned with an overweight landing on the 12th; it's still here today, 16sep, and is waiting for a spare engine and tooling :blink:

AMS14sep2007007.jpg

AMS14sep2007005.jpg

 

This Dornier 328 has a VIP 12-seats interior and is often used by the Dutch government:

AMS15sep2007001.jpg

 

Here you see a 'flying cigar with band still attached' being towed from the hangar to the gate:

AMS15sep2007006.jpg

(still cannot get used to this livery)

 

Swiss Air Ambulance is repatriating patients worldwide and is a rare visitor to AMS:

Was able to take a shot of this ex-US Airways Express DO328, unfortunately, now in an all-white scheme (re-painted by QAPS), and waiting for delivery to her new owner:

The AF/Regional E190 parked behind will be featured in a seperate thread :pardon:

Was very, very lucky indeed to shoot this TU Delft (Technical University) Citation, as it's in the hangar most of the time behind locked doors. Note the long probe at the nose :pardon: :

Great looking aircraft in miserable weather (light drizzle and cold), was this Jungle-Jet from the UK; just LOVE the livery and tail-logo (very classy !!!):

AMS20sep2007003.jpg

 

Three guesses for you, about the make and model of this helicopter :pardon: :

Die-hard spotters will shoot aircraft, no matter what the weather conditions are !!! :pardon:

AMS24sep2007003.jpg

 

Look at these small wheels and engines :blink:

AMS25sep2007004.jpg

 

According the Dutch website Scramble, this CitationJet was only registered less than 2 weeks ago, so brand-new:

One week after the previous British registered EMB135EJ, this one visited AMS :yahoo: Which colourscheme do you prefer, guys ? :huh:

AMS26sep2007008.jpg

 

A BD300 demonstrator was also seen during the last week:

AMS26sep2007005.jpg

 

Not the best shot, but we had another Turkish bizjet at Schiphol, again, dedicated to Hakan:

AMS27sep2007001.jpg

 

This Cessna 650 has a Danish sticker-registration :blink: The new German one can be seen underneath ;)

AMS29sep2007001.jpg

 

Plying the Norwegian skies before as LN-BRD, it will, once again, find cold arctic climes at Arkhangelsk; here seen today just prior to delivery with the VP-B registration :pardon:

AMS29sep2007005.jpg

 

Look at these stunning colours on this UK Falcon900:

AMS29sep2007006.jpg

 

While photographing this Gulfstream4, an Aer Lingus A320 passed behind landing on runway 27:

AMS29sep2007007.jpg

 

After a 29-day D-check this "City of Melbourne" looks like a new 744Combi; so, guys, have your camera ready at KUL, where she could visit shortly (should be operational again 01oct07):

It was 125-day today @ Amsterdam-Schiphol :pardon:

 

Appropriately registered as FIN is this Hawker from Hakan-country (2nd time to see this type with winglets; 1st time also a TC-registered Hawker :blink: ):

AMS02oct2007001.jpg

 

No, not the same aircraft, but when Golf left, November arrived :good:

AMS02oct2007008.jpg

Hi Pieter, thanks for the bizzjet with Turkish registration. Hawker 800XP is very popular in here and we see a lot of new brand hawkers in here. I think Sercan took some close pictures for TC-CLK,I'll check it in our forum's latest spotting pictures.

 

meanwhile, I get your note few mins ago, I'll turn back to you with PM.

See post 1088 in "The story of a pilot" about the weather at AMS in the wintertime.....well we had one of these days today, causing some interesting visitors to divert- or remain at AMS :pardon:

 

The Catalina was supposed to return to EHLE (Lelystad) this morning, but was grounded due to fog there :yahoo:

What a beauty !!! :pardon:

AMS03oct2007002.jpg

 

Den Helder/De Kooy Naval base was also fogged-in, causing two Sikorsky's of Bristow to divert to AMS as well :yahoo:

NZZ is ex-KLM Noordzeehelikopters; the other one is brand-new :good:

AMS03oct2007005.jpg

Guys, enjoy the nice sunny and warm weather while you can :pardon: !!!

Quite a rare turbo-prop is this Embraer Xingu; formerly operated by the Sabena Flying Academy:

AMS05oct2007003.jpg

 

Spanish biz-jets are not common at AMS (don't know why), so was lucky to get this one during take-off from runway 04:

AMS05oct2007004.jpg

 

This one is dedicated to Levent; thanks for the tip, mate, as you can see she arrived spic-n-span from Moscow :pardon: :
