Hi there

those of you coming over for the yearly pilgrimage to the WEF: Qatar will start using the B787 on three of their weekly flights starting January 14th...

On the sad side: I don't know if the News got as far as Portugal but our beloved "Heligrill" (the spottingplace where the RWY's 28 and 16 cross) will be history from spring 2014 on. The airport needs the land there for a new ramp. However, the airport will be providing an alternative spot... The red circle shows the current position of the Heligrill, the green circle will be the new spot. Generally, people here think that this new spot will be far worse than the old one, I however think we shall wait and see how it looks....



Enough blablabla, here are a few pics from January 2nd, 2013

this will not be possible anymore in 2014:

With the GlobEx's, it is always a bit of a challenge to get the registration into the picture... The wing is just toooo long, wide... whatever;-)

Many SWISS-aircraft are loosing their titles on the engines these days in preparation for the new... ah, let's not call it a livery;-(

Hi Michael,

Those aren't good news from ZRH. I've had a great time on that spot in the past. ZRH is such a great airport, with a huge variety of spotting locations, that allows us to take so many good shoots.

Any news on the highlights for Davos 2013? I've seen that there was an Iran Falcon50 this week in ZRH.

Best regards and keep them coming!
Luis

A few from a visit of the AN-225 this week.. It came in last Tuesday afternoon and left about 24 hours later.... It was first planned to depart from RWY34, but this was later changed to 16. The Antonov backtracked on the Runway and turned at the end, impressive to see an aircraft of that size do that;-)
