MAD 5/23

[Iberia A340-600]

Headed out for an afternoon of plane spotting at Madrid-Barajas. I was keen to photograph the new Iberia A330-300 and ended up with all three! Though unfortunately the runway pattern was not favorable for my regular departure spot, hence I did some exploring and found a pretty awesome spot with a very unique vantage point. There are quite a few Iberia A340 photos, SURPRISE! Though they are from some new angles so I hope you enjoy.
