Pictures from Cologne/Bonn - CGN, Germany
Hi everyone! My name is Lukas, I am 15 years old, and I am the next new member from Germany, and I thought it could be interesting for you if I share my spottingpics with you! :smile: (Please excuse me if my English isn't perfect..)
In this thread i will show you some pics I took at my homeairport CGN in 2011. I hope you like them! :smile:
For the case that you don't really now the airport of Cologne, which is what I am expecting, here some information:
CGN is the home-base for the LCC Germanwings which is operating with 32 Airbus A319
It's also the western Europe Hub for FedEx and UPS Airlines with up to 20+ flights a day.
In 2011 the airport counted 9,6 Mio. passengers and 743.000 tons of freight.
Let's start with 10th April. On that day I was able to get the newest TUIfly's (german charter airline) logojet D-ATUC:

25th April: Another freight airline operating at Cologne is danish carrier Star Air with some 767-200F's, but they usually move only after sunset, so I was lucky to get OY-SRF on final approach to rwy 14L

The next day (26th) was a great one because we had a championsleague soccer-match in Cologne! Manchester United and their fans arrived with some specials:
