Frankfurt (EDDF/FRA) 2016 CIV

[Gerard]

Be advised that the terminal 2 visitor's terrace will be closed, due to reconstruction, from 11JAN2016 until summer 2016.

Ab 11. Januar 2016 bleibt unsere beliebte Aussichtsplattform am Flughafen Frankfurt wegen Umbau-und Verschönerungsmaßnahmen bis voraussichtlich Sommer 2016 geschlossen. Danach dürfen Sie sich über eine Neugestaltung mit attraktiven Sitzgelegenheiten, schattenspendenden Pavillons und anderen neuen Annehmlichkeiten freuen. In einem ersten Teilabschnitt wurde dieses Jahr bereits ein neuer Boden gelegt und ein modernerer Empfangsbereich eingerichtet.

Gents,

Just landed in Frankfurt. Parked on the apron just east of the stored Transaero B777 is a Gulfstream and two greyish BBJs. Unfortunately no positive id possible from the terminal. Anybody up for the identity of these three?

Thanks!
Richard

4K-AZ888 came in yesterday-afternoon, so that may be your Gulf.

for those who want to stay at the Mac in T2:
the large windows have been covered by non-transparent "plastic" .
only if you are 2 meters high or take a step you will be able to see anything !

Don't worry, it is easily removable
..... as a matter of fact a part is gone already!

A few pictures at the usual link, more to come when time permits https://www.flickr.com/photos/gsairpics/

I stayed at the Airport Hotel Walldorf which was less than 10 minutes drive. The hotel was good with a nice buffet breakfast and for dinner there is a Thai style bistro a short walk away. Hotel prices were pretty reasonable compared to the usual well known haunts that spotters use.
