Once again, big thanks to Xavier for helping me getting together a nice report from Basel. On Thursday, the yearly Watches and Jewellery Fair ("BaselWorld") has begun and as usual, there are some nice visitors:
25/03/2009:
In the afternoon, heavy winds from the west (+/- 35 kts) were responsible for a rare stint of pure Rwy 26 operations. Rwy 26 is only 1800m long, opposed to 3900m on the main runway 15/33.

All of them are supposed to leave after 1300 local tomorrow. Security is no big issue for spotters here. We have our dedicated place (@ the Belvedere) and we were not bothered by anyone...
