On our first day we took position close to both runways 25C/25L. This is an ideal photo point to take pictures of aircrafts been towed from Cargo City South to their gate position at the terminals. (See spotter map included) Due to the ongoing strike by ground controllers the entire flight plan became mixed up. This situation has led us then to spend the afternoon at the new opened runway 07L, situated at the northwestern periphery of the airport.This photo point is to my opinion one of the best spots to catch aircrafts on their final approach. Despite cold temperatures and light fog, we were rewarded after a short time. With over eight hours delay the Boeing B787-881 “Dreamliner” of All Nippon Airways (ANA) finally approached runway 07L, inbound from Tokyo-Haneda, Japan. Our enthusiasm was great and of course the cold was forgotten in no time. More colorful airliner topped off our first day. |

After
breakfast and briefing we drove on the second day again to the photo
point east, close to runway 25C/25L. This was a wise decision, because
the wind had turned and the aircraft landed now coming from the east.
Other highlights included:
Conclusion: Great airplane pictures left us the cold weather and the surprises in the flight plan quickly forgotten. The next trip is intended to Frankfurt but this time with pleasant temperatures and sunny sky! Your WINGS-AVIATION team |
Nach einem
ausgiebigen Frühstück und Lagebesprechung am nächsten Tag fuhren wir
nochmals zum Fotopunkt Ost zwischen den beiden Start- und Landebahnen
25C/25L. Dies war an diesem Tag die richtige Entscheidung. Starts und
Landungen erfolgten wegen Westwind von Osten her. Weitere Höhepunkte waren unter anderem:
Fazit: Tolle Flugzeugbilder liessen uns das kalte Wetter und die Überraschungen im Flugplan schnell vergessen. Die nächste Reise nach Frankfurt kommt bestimmt, aber dann bei Sonnenschein und angenehmen Temperaturen! Ihre WINGS-AVIATION Redaktion |
