Hello again!

another sunny day at the WEF, with some nice subjects to photograph. So, here's my impression of my first full day at Zurich.

The day started early and I first spotted from the 10th level of the P6 parkinggarage.

1. The first cool plane was this very nicely coloured Gulfstream from China:

2. Next up was this Czech Air Force A319CJ:

3. The first of the American invasion, a C-40B:

4. I just love these Falcon 7X's!

5. Nice little Learjet 45 of the government of Montenegro:

6. Another East European governmental jet; Falcon 2000 from Bulgaria:

7. Pretty bizzers, these Legacy 450's:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4756/39880997592_2b8b6236a8_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/23L9x9L)E545-PVT-OONEY-ZRH25jan18 (https://flic.kr/p/23L9x9L) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

Then it was time to move to the top-level of P2 for the arrival of The Donald.

8. But first a nice BAe146-300 from WDL, flying for easyJet:

9. Long and cropped shot of this Ethiopian B737-800, which was just about to leave:

10. And there he is aboard Air Force One; POTUS!

11. Another one, because you don't get to picture this plane everyday:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4709/26040757738_f36cd86469_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/FF8G2G)VC25A-USAF-829000-ZRH25jan18-2 (https://flic.kr/p/FF8G2G) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

After that it was time for the platform tour, organized by Bucher.

12. This Hawker 9000 of the Nigerian Air Force has been parked at Zurich for a while now:

13. Too bad of the covers on this Learjet 60 from the government of Macedonia:

14. I thought I already had this Gulf of the Pakistan Air Force, so almost not photographed it. But I had the J-756, not this J-755...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4748/26040756158_d0090f175c_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/FF8Fys)G4-PAF-J755-ZRH25jan18 (https://flic.kr/p/FF8Fys) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

15. After a quick drop off, this C-32B left for Shannon:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4620/39014844045_aa55c3c63f_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/22rBgSV)C32B-USAF-090016-ZRH25jan18 (https://flic.kr/p/22rBgSV) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

16. For me the most interesting Brazilian Embraer at this year's WEF, this VC-99B:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4630/39880996972_a120b30b84_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/23L9wY5)VC99B-BRAF-2585-ZRH25jan18 (https://flic.kr/p/23L9wY5) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

17. Croatia was represented by this CL-604:

18. The usual suspect at every WEF is this A319CJ from the Ukrainian government:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4671/26040755278_8ac4c124d1_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/FF8Fih)A319-UKR-URABA-ZRH25jan18 (https://flic.kr/p/FF8Fih) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

19. Such a pretty plane, the Gulfstream 5, this one from the Hellenic Air Force:

20. Interesting Global Express from San Marino:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4763/39014847415_a75f1ee089_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/22rBhT2)BD700-PVT-T7BRS-ZRH25jan18 (https://flic.kr/p/22rBhT2) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

21. Quick shot from the back of the bus of this Wamos Air glider A330-200, which is a former Air Berlin-aircraft:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4722/39881001012_4e1275eec7_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/23L9yaJ)A332-WMS-EIGFE-ZRH25jan18 (https://flic.kr/p/23L9yaJ) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

After the tour I moved to the approach of runway 14.

22. Just in time to catch this A319CJ of the Armenian government:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4740/39014846395_9caee2edf0_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/22rBhzr)A319-ARM-701-ZRH25jan18 (https://flic.kr/p/22rBhzr) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

23. My very first Falcon 8X:

24. Nice Legacy from Luxembourg:

25. Always nice to catch a Gulf 4 from the United Arab Emirates:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4602/39880998852_6b0cddee06_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/23L9xwu)G4-PVT-A6VPS-ZRH25jan18 (https://flic.kr/p/23L9xwu) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

26. How cool, another Nigerian Air Force jet today and even such a pretty Falcon 7X:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4607/39014845045_e779568e8d_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/22rBhba)DA7X-NAF-5NFGV-ZRH25jan18 (https://flic.kr/p/22rBhba) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

27. And I end my set with this low-light photo of this A320CJ of the government of Azerbaijan:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4717/39880995912_8d7ac89643_b.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/23L9wDN)A320-AHY-4KAI07-ZRH25jan18 (https://flic.kr/p/23L9wDN) by Anton Homma (https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifelinerone/), on Flickr

Now on to edit the pictures of day three. Stay tuned!

Cheers!

Nice work. Just like UN Week, except very cold and a coffee costs $6! The San Marino Global has Emirati and Indian flags by the door - it's owned by BR Shetty, the Indian-born founder of UAE Exchange, one of the largest currency exchange businesses in the Middle East. Very jealous of the Pakistan G-IV. We get the G450 (756) most years.
