Mischa 1 Report post Posted August 2, 2006 Hi Pieter, Nice photos you shot again. I think you where at the panorama terrace if i can see it correctly from the angle. Unfortunately the weather is not very cooperative these days, but we have been pampered so much already lately. Greets, Mischa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norman 1 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 Another good set Pieter.... That AN12 is nice... seems carrying pax?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 That AN12 is nice... seems carrying pax?? Not that I know of, Norman, for it parked on Romeo (Cargo) platform and left about 1.5 hrs later; it could be (some) loadmaster(s) you see there; anyhow, what would you prefer to fly ? Niner Victor or Echo Romeo ? Here are some shots of today, another very wet and above all windy day at Amsterdam-Schiphol (gusts up to 25 knots) Adria became a Star-Alliance partner recently, and it shows...............here S5-AAG: Although part of the Austrian group for some time now, Lauda is still sporting it's livery on this OE-LNN: A surprise 360 around Schiphol's tower was made by this AH-64 Apache of the 'Koninklijke Luchtmacht' ! Note the white strobe light Futura operated this all-white EC-JXD, apparently for Easyjet : IMHO one of the best colour-schemes on the A320 is shown by this JY-AYD: G-CDKA is a specially painted Saab 2000 of Eastern airways, promoting the city & shire of Aberdeen: Better something than nothing, guys, here is an exclusive shot of OM-NEA lined-up on runway 04 on her 1st test-flight after repainting from SkyEurope colours to Aeroflot-Nord Hope you enjoyed this sofar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted August 8, 2006 which a/c u refer to, pieter? As described in the text: first 3 aircraft Today's shots will be dedicated to the Air France-KLM group : Almost looking like CDG, but this is Schiphol, for sure; note the left A320 has no winglets This colleague is really a very lucky fella: after showing his credentials to 'apron control' he was allowed to continue One of the last old coloured 737-800's with the KL-NW seal flying around: At least this 737-800 is all 'up-to-date' with colours and seal; no Air France-KLM logo on the nose, though Look at the paint-job of this tail Someone did something wrong with the mathematics: This one is for you, Han, here Quebec Echo showing off her gigantic GE A four-coloured circle became a nice "S" this way (PH-HZY had start-up problems): Apart from Airbus products, AF also using the ancient 737-500 to AMS: Hope you've enjoyed them again for today...some more tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
