De Gaulle Tour

While refueling, this Lufthansa's A319 was parking on stand X8, just behind us. Was already stopped and waiting for the signs of the marshall to confirm that the chocks were placed (you can notice that there are two guys placing them on the main gears).

Airbus double-decker departing from runway 27L. Always impressive!


Two B777-300ER during our taxi. The Air France B777 is wearing the new scheme of the French flag carrier. This aircraft has 10, yes, 10 doors. With 73,9m of length, this airliner is one of the longest commercial aircraft, just being overtaken by the A340-600 that has 75,3m. Air France was the launch customer for the B777-300ER.


Everytime I see one of Qatar's A330, it reminds me of a friend of mine who's a First Officer at Qatar Airways. Once again, this is for you Nardon.


The B767-300ER in two different North American colours. Captured during their taxi to the active runway.


On our taxi for departure, I captured Air France's Concorde F-BVFF which can been seen in display at Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport. Here, the supersonic airplane was under some minor maintenece/cleaning. Always a good sight for those who love this airplane.


We where number 2 for departure, just after this Middle East Airlines A330-200 powers up for another journey back home to Beirut, Lebanon. Our route was to Oporto (LPPR).

El Prat

During our 45min turnaround at Barcelona (LEBL), I captured ''Speedbird 484'' on a short final for runway 07L.

During taxi out from our stand to holding point of runway 07R, I had the opportunity to capture El Prat's Control Tower, with it's good looking. This day we did the early LIS-BCN-LIS route (Lisbon-Barcelona-Lisbon).
