More airliners...

My sister and brother-in-law traveled to Turkey today, and since I have a week off decided to see them off at Schiphol. Always a good excuse to grab the camera, especially since Emirates started a daily route to Amsterdam with their Airbus A380, and that's an aircraft I didn't see before!

And here it is, getting ready to land at the 36C (There used to be a great spot to watch the aircraft there, but now we have to go to the outside of the 36R, quite a long way from the 36C!):



Also four engines, but much smaller:

Somewhat dirty KLM 747ERF:



Over to the center of the field, the terrace that span a few piers and gives a good view of the 6-24, 4-22 (In the distance) and 18-36C. Due to shifting winds the aircraft were now taking off in the opposite direction:



Nice paintwork on this Dash-8 Q400:



A380 going back home again:

KLM MD-11, the first ones are currently being retired:



Although slowly replaced by Embraer 190's there are still plenty of Fokker F70's around:

After a short rain shower and a quick drive I had a view from the opposite side:
