One World

I captured this A320-211 from Iberia with the OneWorld markings, at FL110 as it was inboud to London, Heathrow (EGLL), while we were at FL100 just after departure from London, Gatwick (EGKK), returning to Lisbon (LPPT). EC-FDB is the first Iberia aircraft wearing the special scheme.

F100...What else?

The warrior resting at stand S31 at Oporto (LPPR), after returning from Schiphol, Amsterdam (EHAM). Next flight was to Geneva (LSGG), with a new crew. We still had to complete our day with a short Oporto-Lisbon (LPPR-LPPT) leg with the aircraft that was arriving from Luxembourg (ELLX).

And here is the machine arriving from ELLX, during taxi to stand S32.


The RR TAY 650-15 under some minor maintenance at Lisbon (LPPT). This aircraft had just arrived from QAPS, at Schiphol Airport (EHAM), freshly painted.

Schiphol, Amsterdam



Already established on the ILS 18R (also knonw as the Polderbaan at Schiphol, EHAM), I captured these eolic generators appearing through the fog. Travelling as extra crew.


During our taxi-out, from stand B11 to runway 09 for the LEKKO 1N departure, this KLM MD11 leads the way to the holding point. You can hardly see, under it's right wing, a KLM A330 entering runway 09 for take off.



A couple of days after the pictures above, again at Schiphol (EHAM), this time taxing from stand B9 to runway 36L for the LEKKO 1V departure, this China Airlines B747-400 is cleared to cross runway 18C-36C at W5 interssection, as it crosses in front of us.


Here, already reached runway 36L holding point, we were cleared to line-up and wait behind this departing Malevs' F70.
