23. A rather white Nouvelair A320:

24. It remains one of the nicer special liveries in my opinion; Wir lieben fliegen B757-300 of Condor:
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7443/8727634363_3f36d29462_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/8727634363/)

25. Air Berlin is using this former OLT Express A319. I think they should keep this livery, much more modern looking than their own logo:

27. The new Hamburg Airways has a boring livery on this A320:

28. I didn't manage to capture this one at Zurich earlier this year, so I'm happy with this A320 of Belle Air:

29. I don't have that many Finnish bizzers in my collection, so Challenger OH-WIC was very welcome:

30. And the day ended with this very nice Air China A330-300:

Wow, these are all fantastic Anton. I love that Sky livery. Wish we had these birds come our way.

[Zee71]

Fantastic set! It's always nice to see spotting images from the otherside of the world.

[nikon50bigma]

Great catches! I really like that Lufthansa A340 on climb out!

[Roush6NY]

Can I say jealous ??? ;) Great set, thanks for sharing !

[lijk604]

Great set!

[MSN007]

Very nice set of collection.

[Bangkok Airways]

Great pictures, I was there to but did not come around to edit my pictures yet.

@Roush6NY for us in Düsseldorf it was a normal day, and exept the Turkish globaly yours and the Russian Legacy nothing speacial. In the colection is only one Heavy missing of the day and that's the Delta 767 from Atlanta.
I think its the point of view that makes DUS special for you, you probably would say that JFK gets boring to, for us it would be the other way around.

[megatop412]

So many interesting liveries, thanks for posting!
