AMS 5/6/08 (Many Photos)

[brontis5]

Hello All, I just returned from vacation. Here are some shots from my first day at Schiphol. Moved around to a few different spots during the day. I will post shots from day two when I get around to editing them. Overall, I really loved being out there, as the weather was great! Also, met a few spotters that were quite friendly and helpful. Later, Brian

Great shots. Interesting to see NW 747-200 -- thought all NW 747-200 have been retired. I suppose it's on a chart flight?

Nice...lots of stuff we don't see 'round these parts...

sweet shots! what runways were they using that day? the shots with the twr in the background look like aircraft were approaching 6.

[brontis5]

The whole time I was in Amsterdam the winds were coming from the east and they used runway 6 for arrivals the whole week.

Jade is officially on my list of planes I need to get a photo of. Good shots!

Wow, great shots Brian! Seriously jealous!

I also have Jade on my "to get" list. I saw it during my last day at AMS but I was in a wrong place for pictures.
Good catch on Dragon Air Cargo. Also I wouldn't mind getting it :)
