A few pictures of the last 2 weeks @ AMS:

Another Star-Alliance member is LOT of Poland, showing here it's Embraer 175:

Recently, we also had a nice visitor from the Ukraine; she has such a nice roarrrr and is a good smoker too:

AMS06sep2009003.jpg

Not only KLM has a retro, also Air France is flying around a retro (1960's) A320:

AMS06sep2009005.jpg

 

Registration F-RA has been allocated to the French Air Force; This Twinotter made a night-stop at AMS recently, devoid of any markings except the registration:

Not many times, you'll see a South-Korean business-jet at AMS; here is the corporate jet of Samsung resting at the 'East'-apron:

AMS06sep2009007.jpg

 

PH-BDA (the oldest 737-300 of KLM) is hangared now devoid of ALL titles, incl. her registration (even the ones on the nosewheel-doors):

AMS06sep2009008.jpg

 

A really nice visitor this week has been Austral of Reunion; she is here for a re-paint (don't know yet it will be the current or new colours):

AMS06sep2009015.jpg

 

one day later, she was 'all-silver':

Hi guys!

 

With these shots I open my 2010 spottingseason! As I have been OFFLINE for spotting in my own country since 13 september 2010 it was more then time to visit Amsterdam Schiphol Airport again! The weather was expected to be bad so didnt planned anything for this day. But when I woke up this morning and the sky was all blue I decided to drive to AMS/EHAM to do some shooting.

 

Before this crossed my mind I made this shot:

 

PHPXB.jpg

 

This police chopper was looking for a missed woman from my hometown.. she still hasnt been found so far.. missing for over 30 hours now...

 

Then to Amsterdam

 

Look the captain is waving during takeoff! Thank God 1st-Officer is on controls :) Never seen a pilot waving during takeoff b4!!

Dedicated to Pieter. Last week of BMI service into Amsterdam. (No picture on this board, but I shoot 2 BA aircraft today.. so still some flights continued during the staff strike of BA).

 

BSPL008.jpg

 

BSPL009.jpg

 

BSPL010.jpg

 

This week also is the last week of this Dutch Lady operating KLM / KLM Cityhopper flights! Next weekend the last Fokker 50 flights will be operated. Today I had my goodbye from PH-KVK and PH-KVI. Next Sunday I am in Amsterdam again.. maybe I have time to get to Schiphol to witness the very last commercial arrival of F50 in KLM dress.

 

BSPL011.jpg

 

I continue with some more noseshots. Azahan, can you tell me if I have passed my nose-shot exam today? :pardon:

 

BSPL012.jpg

 

BSPL013.jpg

 

Pieter, since when does Austrian operate CR2 into AMS?

 

BSPL014.jpg

 

BSPL015.jpg

 

BSPL016.jpg

 

BSPL017.jpg

 

BSPL018.jpg

 

Of course I can't forget MD11! If you see closely (its dark sorry) you can spot a FA on the jumpseat

 

BSPL019.jpg

 

And some other angles

 

BSPL020.jpg

 

BSPL021.jpg

 

BSPL022.jpg

 

BSPL023.jpg

 

You spot the 2 co-co's on the jumpseat looking at us? One of them is waving HELLO to us

 

BSPL024.jpg

 

Just one inboundshot today

 

BSPL025.jpg

 

I feel I succeeded my training today and feel I am for 100% ready for the 2010 spotterseason! :yahoo:

 

Best regards!

Cornelis,

 

Some excellent KLC coverage here !!! :good: :pardon:

Thanks for sharing: yes, KL1026/27mar10 is, indeed, the last planned commercial Fokker 50 flight, and also the last prop-flight

on a regular basis for LHR !!!

 

OS CR2's are indeed becoming rare at AMS: usually, Fokkers (70/100) operate into their 'homeground'...

You're extremely lucky to get this one, as just read in the latest ATW-mail, all OS CR2's are to be scrapped and parts to be

sold, effective April 2010 !!! :blink:

One question here. In the KLM 747 picture of the cockpit, I noticed an emergency exit hatch and I assume its located in the cockpit. Can anyone explain how do you escape from that hatch? Via inflatable slide like other normal emergency exits or by other means? Thanks!
