CDG Spotting Spring 2008

[cgnnrw]

In Spring 2008 I decided to treat myself to a long weekend in Paris. Here are some pics of liveries and airlines many of you "over there" may not get a chance to see. I apologize if quality may not be up to forum standards but all I have is a basic Olympus digital cam and to consider myself even an amateur photographer is pushing it. Anyway enjoy....

Trip started with a short flight on a Germanwings A319 from CGN-CDG.


A few shots while taxing to T1




Air Gabon B767


Inside renovated T1




During my walks through Paris I noticed the number of airline ticket offices which were still around. I thought they were all extinct by now. Those were the good ol' days....








Just after taking this photo a guy come out of the office yelling and screaming for me to stop taking pictures



Delta's office is also here. I think they're the only US airline left with an office in downtown Paris


Aeroflot's office is on the Champs Elysee...very $$$$$$$$ location....


No problem getting a picture here...



The airline no longer exists but their office is still there....


Then I did some spotting at CDG.....


A B757 from the Cap Verde Islands








Took advantage of the opportunity to add to my collection of inflight magazines.


Another rarity nowadays....a printed time table


Hope you enjoyed.
