After somebody yelled that the Ascot announced herself (we did not hear her on the scanner, thus took a slower speed then the rest) we drove to 18R spotters corner. When driving parallel of 18R we heared her and after some confusion on the status of medical (approach thought they were on a medical emergency and were deviating to Schiphol while the pilot said they were a medical flight), she got cleared for 27. We turned around at the last stop lights and drove back to the fire brigade at the 27. While the car was not entirely stopped we opened the doors and start running to the bridge crossing the highway. We (hopla and myself) made it just in time while our driver just got a little too late. Then indeed going to 24 for the outbound of the VC10, my brother overheared that a flight bound to the UK got recleared to 18L we drove back to the beginning of the 18L. Once arrived at 18L we heared that her flight plan got suspended. Then we must have missed start up and taxi clearance (we were too busy with trying to make nightshots at Schiphol we heared her taxiing to 18L and smelled the burned kerozine once she got airborne from the beginning of 18L.
It indeed feld like spotting in the old days, hunting all over Schiphol for THE plane.
Here is the result of an evening hunting for the VC10, but we did shoot her.
oh and if somebody can tell me what the better settings are for nightshots for KonicaMinolta D7, please be so kind to share them per pm.
