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.

This very very special and rare visitor touched down at Cologne Bonn this morning at around 0800lt. There are rumours this aircraft might stay at least till Thursday afternoon!!
Hope you like those shots.

A pity the "Peter Nygard"-titles are so obstrusive :cry: , otherwise VP-BPZ would have been in a very nice colourscheme!

But your photos are a joy to see! :wink:

Great pics from the approach, for those who missed it...go and get it! It's parked on the A-ramp.

Very nice photos Tigerspoon, but four more or less the same photos is a bit too much IMO.

That's a nice one!
I'm going there on wednesday (end of morning, begin of the afternoon), just a quick hit-run visit.
Where is the A-apron located exactly? I'd love to get a shot of this one if it's still there.
Never been there, and can't figure it out based on the scramble airfield guide.

A-apron is on the right hand side of the terminal.

Nice catch! Saw this same bird at Guangzhou-Baiyun last year when I was there for work. The owner is a Canadian fashion tycoon and quite a megalomaniac if you ask me, to put his name this big on his private jet. But I don't mind that, as long as he shows such an excellent choice of aircraft. A lot nicer than all those Globals, in my opinion!

Great plane, and I even like it with the name that big. Kind of eighties-feeling returning! :mrgreen:
