Amsterdam-Schiphol 2008-2013 pictures

Recommended Posts

Thanks Pieter for each and every installment of great pics. Love the Rusjet Yak . . . Yaks are absolutely not yuckky.

 

Always enjoyed what you capture in the hangar . . . and allowing us a peep into what's new and often exotic.

 

Questions:

 

1. The "Operated by Martinair Cargo" sticker on PH-CKA is only on the port side, is that correct? Saw it in SIN earlier this week but saw no sticker on starboard side where I was standing.

 

2. Kenya Airways MD-11 . . . due to short lease, will it therefore retain its KLM colours? Will there be any additional marking indicating its lease to KQ?

Dedicated to Gibby: VH-MXK; she is a long way from home
Cheers Pieter! Thats her 2nd visit to AMS that i'm aware, the last time was last year on her delivery flight. She's due home in Perth from Phuket in 90mins time. She may be the 3rd CL601 built, way back in 1983, but she has probably the nicest IFE of any jet in the skies...a nintendo Wii!!!

You're welcome, KC, and happy to share !!! :pardon:

1-indeed, only port side; rumours are both will be painted in full MP colours in about 6-8 months from now...

2-no stickers or other markings will be applied to the KQ operating MD11's, as they will interchange with the 'normal' KLM operated routes...

 

Hope to see you in about 4 week's time !!! :yahoo:

 

Cheers...

Nice pictures there Pieter!

 

I have a qustion for you (or anyone else that can answer it)

 

Do you know why MAS91 (EWR-ARN-KUL) today is operating EWR-ARN-AMS-KUL? It just departed ARN 20 minutes ago and is headed for AMS.

MH091 - 9M-MPF will make a fuel-stop @ AMS, due to runway maintenance @ ARN (probably shorter runway = payload restricted)...

SX-BGS has now been re-registered into N279AD and will depart as soon as the FAA-papers have arrived; here's she is seen inside the hangars today:

They even 'printed' the MSN behind the type (737-400) onto her fuselage... :good:

 

Cheers... :drinks:

We had some nice visitors today, and just wanna share some shots of them:

 

Nigel Mansell's Cessna 510 appropriately registered G-NGEL:

AMS30jun2009001.jpg

 

Two really nice- and big private-jets, the Bombardier BD100; registered VP-CWN and N451CS:

AMS30jun2009002.jpg

AMS30jun2009003.jpg

 

Definite highlight for me is this Antonov An-26 of the Slovak Air Force, registered 2506:

Far away from home is this Mexican Gulfstream-4 XA-ASI:

Transavia.com's newest 737-800 PH-ZOM was delivered this morning and is seen here inside the Hangar for a PDM:

AMS01jul2009002.jpg

 

Contactair of Germany received another Star Alliance Fokker 100 today, still registered PH-MJK, but with (D-AF)KF already on the nosewheel:

AMS01jul2009003.jpg

 

N279AD is still awaiting the FAA-papers, but should depart any day soon; here she's sunbathing outside the Hangar:

Hope you've enjoyed viewing... :pardon:

Eagle Aviation's 'livery' has now been added to F-GTIR as well as "operated by EAE":

I guess the Cargo-B 747-400 Freighters will be returned to NCA soon; unfortunately, this was the best I could get of OO-CBD this afternoon (darn fence :finger: ):

die F-GTIR begint er leuk uit te zien ! (UK: Starting to look nice this 744!)

Any STD known for testflight or delivery?

 

F-GTIR has been moved to another hangar, so out-of-view for me now :angry:

 

Ever wondered how a 737 looks like without an engine ? PH-BXG will show you how ;)

AMS05jul2009002.jpg

 

Another one (PH-BPC) was outside with her nacelle open:

AMS05jul2009003.jpg

 

Less flights are operated between AMS-LCY on weekends, hence the parking of the 146's at East:

AMS05jul2009001.jpg

Note: the red line is similar to the new AF-colours; it also sports the Air France/KLM logo on the nose too...

 

Hope you enjoyed again... :pardon:

PH-MCG has now been taken-off Martinair's schedule and is seen here devoid of titles waiting for her flight 'to the desert'...:

AMS08jul2009003.jpg

 

Remember the NASair Embraer 190 recently ? Now she has been repainted by QAPS into the gorgeous 'dress' of Windrose of Ukraine and re-registered as UR-WRF:

AMS08jul2009006.jpg

 

She has a nice 'painting' on the nose-section, however, for security reasons was not able to make a close-up shot :( :

AMS08jul2009004.jpg

 

Hope, you enjoyed nevertheless... :pardon:

Wow Pieter, that is a one nice looking Embraer 190 color scheme. :good:

Show more when her new dress is completed. ;)

 

Security reasons ? I didn't see any big machinery or hazard stuff around the aircraft. :blink:

Windrose colourscheme is complete; true, tail colours are a bit 'bland', but rest is quite neat/modern...

It's an 'active' apron, so I was not supposed to be there at the time... :sorry:

Pieter, MCG is going back to Boeing for research wasnt she? (After her more then 110.000 flighthours!) Or is the PHMCH the one going to Boeing? Dont think MCG will end up in the dessert for the upcomming time!

 

 

Here my contribution from Amsterdam of yesterday. I've done spotting from 5 AM to 5PM!

The day was excellent with weather, especially during the afternoon. In the morning we still had changin weather.

Runway use was so f*cked up as they used all runways for takeoffs and landings and they kept on changing every half an hour. So we kept chasing the specialbrids around the entire airport. At the end of the day you've got lots of different shots so thats a positive point of rwy changing!

 

Here an illustration of AMS runways use of yesterday including the times of runway use
