LSZH (Zürich) 25-01-2013

Hello everybody,

I'm in Zürich this weekend because of the World Economic Forum in Davos, which normally brings some nice visitors to Zürich. Here's a small impression of last Friday, hope you like them!

1. After my arrival from Amsterdam, I went straight up to the visitors deck on the terminal. Just in time to see this Russian Air Force IL-76MD taxiing out:

2. The IL-76 picked up the cars of Prime Minister Medvedev, who was picked up by this IL-96:

4. Qatar normally uses their B787s on their service from Doha, but as we all know, those are grounded. This A320 was its replacement today:

I'm currently editing my catches of today. More nice pictures are coming!

Cheers!

Nice set!

It's so odd seeing Qatar flying narrowbodies.

Excellent group of shots.

I was shivering while going through your stuff Anton nice work. Looking fwd to your remaining stuff.

Wonderful set... Just like UN week here in NY but with an Il-76 :tongue:

Nice work. Makes me want to be back in Zurich. Some skiing wouldn't be bad idea either.
Thanks for sharing these.
