ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Schiphol from the air 10 April 2010

Post by EC »

The Schiphol tower flights planned during the last DSC in March were cancelled because of the weather. Sautrday April 10th Kammair offered the chance for a rematch.
I was on the first flight that was delayed from 10.00 till about 11.15 again because of the weather.
We took off from Rotterdam and proceeded north via Zoetermeer and Leiden towards Zandvoort.
Just north of Hoofddorp we turned into Schiphol, passing over the threshold of 36L, flying over 18/36C and circled around the tower twice. We flew out over Amstelveen and south over Gouda back to Rotterdam.

My plan was not to shoot individual aircraft but I concentrated on taking wider shots of the aprons.
But still you have to take it as it comes, in this case I was seated on the the left side of the plane resulting in the inside of the turn.

Here are some of the results

I hope you liked the mix. I am planning to do a seperate topic on the various scenery we overflew along the way

Many thanks to Kammair for organising this unique flight.

Kind regards
