Forum rules
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.

Düsseldorf Int'l Sunday 28/12/2008

Post by Polecat »

Who can stay at home on days like these....
Decided to go to Dusseldorf, and boy, it was cold!!
Last time I was there was late october, so it came as no surprise that there were a lot of new airframes for me.

My first ATR in the new CSA colours leaving early...
Image



Delta leaving with a lot of spray, the first few hubdred meters remained wet, possibly de-icing fluid...
Image



After many years, Mahan is back at EDDL, still using this vintage Airbus.. To me these are still the "Mothers of all Airbuses"..
Image


Obviously it took a while before the yellow light was getting more neutral....One of the many Star Alliance aircraft we see nowadays, but a new one to me!
Image


Loads of 'green stuff' applied on the aircraft, especially in the morning. There were three de-icing spots in use.
Image



Bet the guys at Spl are really envious on a follow-me car like this; a Porsche! Checking the runway will never be the same.....
Image


...and it was really really cold!!
Image


Another 'new' aircaft, Rossia bought this one from Frontier, delivered half a year ago....
Image


Just before giving up his presidency, George came along (piloted by a Georgina by the way....)
Image


Expected highlight was the supposed visit of Ghana AW B-757, unfortunately the flight was performed by this BMI 757.. Still, not an aircraft I see that often...
Image



D-ANNJ, one of a growing Blue Wings fleet. This one was taken over from JetBlue earlier this year....
Image



Air Berlin's newest airbus afaik, delivered only weeks ago...
Image


FlyBe sent one jet and one prop, the latter being this one, taken with as low a shutterspeed as I dared....
Image


Another recent delivery, SAS (partly) replaces the Dash-8's with these CRJ's...
Image


Than the light went out slowly.. Luckily the Emirates Cargo Jumbo was on time...
Image


and it got darker.... Newest A330 with AirBerlin/LTU is D-ALPJ, seen here leaving for a late-take-off.
Image


Twinkle twinkle little star...
Image


Nightly de-icing shot of D-AVRC, A Lufthansa City-line "Willie Wortel"....
Image

Grtz, and stay warm outthere!

Hi Arnaud!

Awesome pictures you have made yesterday :shock: A shame Ghana didn't come but another time you might be more lucky, it will come more frequent :)

Grtz,
Bas

Wow, that was a great set of images. Looks like it pays of to brave the cold sometimes :D Maybe I will give Copenhagen a go tomorrow as they promised a little sun :) For once :?

My favorite is also the de-icing shot of the Avro, but I also like the headlight shot despite the fact it s a little out of focus.

It is actually an Astreus aircraft on wet-lease, just as the Ghana is!
