LFPO 04/09/2014 Saudi B747SP

Post by Bruspotter »

Hi guys,

Last Thursday went out to Orly to see the departure of the crown prince of Saudi Arabia after a 4 day visit at Paris.
To depart where 2x B747-SP of Saudi Royal Flight.
In LBG where a B747-400 and B777-200 of Saudi Arabian Airlines for the rest of the delegation.

Weather started out quite grey but we where lucky to have just 2h of suneshine in the time-window in which the 747's would leave, and the right runway of course.

Maybe wasn't the longest spotting day ever but I was so glad catching these 2 gorgeous SP's in full sunshine, I would have never thought that I would actually see 2 of them on one day ... and that after only a month earlier I had missed the one from Bahrein , this is how revenge feels :mrgreen: .

Greets, Yannick

Yep, you took revenge, and then some!
Two 747SP movements in one day, in fair weather and on the "most favoured runway"... :)
