Hi there guys and gals,
Went up to Amsterdam Schiphol International(AMS)sunday the 2nd of june. For me this is a two hour drive from down south(Maastricht, South Limburg). AMS is a great airport for photography, as they have nearly no fences. Many of the 6 runways have good locations but are only accessible with a car. I took more than 500 shots but have tried to keep this report interesting . Of course, what we see as ‘boring’, you might find interesting. So I have picked the photo’s that represent AMS and the many carriers that it serves. I hope you enjoy my report and thanks for watching.
Started off at runway 06:

Always nice a Tri-Holer:

I hate photographing DH8D’s, but a Croatian one is always a must:

The AFL scheme looks good on the A321 too:

Something you don’t get in the NY area:

Starting to see more “sharklets” in Europe too. Delivered to Vueling of Spain 3 weeks ago:

Moving over to the departure runway 36L, the most westerly runway of AMS. Great place to photograph from. There is a bike path that runs the length of nearly the entire runway. Pick your spot and shoot away!
E190 “Skyteam”, a bit dark as the sun hasn’t come round yet but I still like the shot:

Turkish outfit Onur have some of their aircraft fitted with these additional “21 years” titles:

Just a nice shot, PH-AKA lifting of 36L half way down:

AMS have lots of cargo flights too, KAL being one of the regulars:

Qatar Cargo are very regular too:

Couldn’t have AMS report without a KLM B744 “Queen of the skies”. PH-BFU looking remarkably clean:
http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/2900/phbfub744ams02062013.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/22/phbfub744ams02062013.jpg/)
