nice!

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:



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!!













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).







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.

















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



And some other angles









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



Just one inboundshot today



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

Best regards!

Besides this ribbon I shot the pink ribbon 772, and lots of ATR and EJR aircraft wearing a yellow or pink ribbon livery.

There are not so many heavies of AA at the airport but a few 767s and 777s pass during the day

My day started at Dusseldorf for a flight DUS-LHR-SIN. I spotted for half an hour @ DUS/EDDL during the first rays of sunlight in the morning. A few special liveries passed my lens.
