Zurich 25-01-2018

Hello again!

another sunny day at the WEF, with some nice subjects to photograph. So, here's my impression of my first full day at Zurich.

The day started early and I first spotted from the 10th level of the P6 parkinggarage.

1. The first cool plane was this very nicely coloured Gulfstream from China:

2. Next up was this Czech Air Force A319CJ:

3. The first of the American invasion, a C-40B:

4. I just love these Falcon 7X's!

5. Nice little Learjet 45 of the government of Montenegro:

Then it was time to move to the top-level of P2 for the arrival of The Donald.

8. But first a nice BAe146-300 from WDL, flying for easyJet:

After that it was time for the platform tour, organized by Bucher.

12. This Hawker 9000 of the Nigerian Air Force has been parked at Zurich for a while now:

14. I thought I already had this Gulf of the Pakistan Air Force, so almost not photographed it. But I had the J-756, not this J-755...

16. For me the most interesting Brazilian Embraer at this year's WEF, this VC-99B:

That's my impression of day two. If you want to see the whole set of more than 90 pictures, please click here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifeli...h/39880995912/

Now on to edit the pictures of day three. Stay tuned!

Cheers!

Nice work. Just like UN Week, except very cold and a coffee costs $6! The San Marino Global has Emirati and Indian flags by the door - it's owned by BR Shetty, the Indian-born founder of UAE Exchange, one of the largest currency exchange businesses in the Middle East. Very jealous of the Pakistan G-IV. We get the G450 (756) most years.
