Hi everybody!

I had a spare hour, and catched these:

1. Transavia is flying with two B737-800s in a special livery for tour-operator Sunweb:

2. Heathwaves galore at the panorama-terrace. Nevertheless, Transavia is leasing this B737-800 from Kulalu in South-Africa, resulting in this hybrid livery:

3. I finally catched this special liveried A330-200 of Etihad:

4. But the best catch for me was this Tarom A310! Still going strong. Last time I had a Tarom A310 in front of my camera was in 1999...:

Awesome catches Anton

Nice shots. I visited AMS observation deck just 3 weeks before you; and it's cloudy. You are lucky you to get sunny weather. The Tarom A-310 is a nice catch. When I was there, I got the Tarom B-737 in its retro-scheme.
