finally my day off coincided with a suny day, so I went to Düssy. Not much 'special' hapening unfortunately, but still a good chance to get some sunny shots. In the end, almost without noticing, I ended up with 25 new airframes so no bad score at all!
1 Even a regular Air Berlin Boeing 737 make a nice pic in circumstances like these..
2 A Mad Dog a day keeps the doctor away! Bulgarian noise-maker LZ-LDC makes an early departure.
3 Quite a few Bizjets, Challenger 300 HB-JFM is operated by Bosch/Scintilla AG so I helped pay for this beauty by buying my electric powerdrill
4 Austrian Fokker 70 OE-LFH. Fokkers are really becoming an endangered species at Düsseldorf now that Contact Air alledgedly is close to stopping operations.
5 Just a nice landingshot of one of Lufthansa's biggest assets at DUS, A-340.
6 I wonder if this scene can still be seen 6 months from now. Austrian is reorganising heavily and struggling for its survival, Niki will be absorbed in the Air Berlin Group...
7 A day at DUS always gets you some nize Bizjets, Falcon 50EX D-BETI is operated by Adolf Würth GmbH
8 Gulf IV-SP N333PY registered to Perry Capital LLC from New York
9 I found this one quite nice, DHMI (Turkish Airport Authorities) operates this Ce-560XLS TC-LAD.
10 Still going strong, BritAir continues to operate CRJ-100's like this F-GRJM
11 FlyBe has replaced the DHC-8 on the DUS-route by Electric Jets, I don't mind as I think these look really neat.
12 SAS at Düsseldorf can be anything, 736, MD or CRJ900 like this OY-KFF
13 Air Nostrum/Iberia even has a longer one.... CRJ1000 EC-LOY just before touchdown.
14 Suny weather really makes Etihad aircraft shine! A-330-343X A6-AFD starts its take-off roll.
15 Since one month Hamburg Airways operates this A-320 D-AHHE. Delivered to US Airways in 1999, it later went to United Eagle Airways and Chengdu Airlines.
16 Much newer brother/sister D-AHHC, a former Iberworld aircraft. Hamburg Airways had to change their old tail-logo after complaints by Cathay pacific, this is the new version.
17 CS-TNV, a relatively new TAP A-320-214 taxies in.
18 Holiday Traffic! No less than 5 yellow TUI-fly boeings were seen, many looking very freshly painted (returning from lease probably)
19 Baltic Dash-8 trying to save the left wheel's rubber..
20 Backlit Turkish A-319, first time I ever saw one of these, but after 10 hours in the burning sun I was to lazy to drive to the other photospots on the other side of the runway
