Hi everybody,

I'm new on this forum. My main reason to join this forum is my NYC visit in October. Besides the normal city tours I’m planning a one day spotting trip to JFK and hope to meet some of you guys. After seeing some great photos I decided to show some others from my side of the world.

Here are some pictures of Menorca. Menorca is a small island of Spain. It is not a very busy airport, but it was fun. Spotting at Menorca was easier than expected. Especially when they use runway 01. I found a point along the taxi track, just before they enter the runway. A B737 could be photographed with only 70 mm and on the runway with 170 mm. They only problem was the heat, but that was the reason I went to Menorca in the first place. Well I hope you enjoy these good weather pictures.

First this one was parked at the "cargo" area

Very carefully!

There are a few pics of it on anet, and one on jpnet, all from various European airports.
