Together with Eric Raadschelders I went to Geneva on the 23rd and 24th of July. We flew from Brussels with Brussels Airlines to Geneva. First we went to the other side of the airport to read of all de bizjets en secondly we droped our bags at the hotel, which was in France and did some sightseeing in downtown Geneva. We spent the thursdayafternoon in France were is a recreation area with a superb view on the runway of Geneva airport. After sunset, we went to the hotel which is located next to the recreation area. The next day, We crossed to border again to Switserland and stayed until 14.30lt along the taxiway of runway 23. Thereafter we went to France again because the sun turned. We stayed at de recreation area until 17.00lt because we had to catch our flight back to Brussels.
Here are some of the photos I've taken during the two days:

We chose this hotel for the location next to the spotting spot. The rooms are quite small but equiped with airco which was very usefull because it can become hot in Geneva in the summer./pacific.gif)
