Zurich Spotting -- Opfikon

[JZ1]

Hi, I just returned from 2 weeks of business trip to Zurich and London. I will post spotting pictures at each city and a trip report. First Zurich. I stayed at a hotel in a small town called Opfikon, it's a suburb of Zurich. The hotel is under the flight path of RWY 34. On weekends ZRH uses 34 for landing from 6 to 9. I was jet lagged so I got up very early and found a nice spot in a park. The effect is similar to our Mound; but I can sit a bench and all the noise surrounding me was birds' singing and occasional jet roaring overhead. Such a nice place! Onto the photos:
