Hi guys

Decided it was about time I took some more at my home airport, as I have not taken any this year, so went to the approach for runways 14 and 16. New spot for me, but happy with it.

Nothing fancy I'm afraid, just the usual ones, either 3/4 front or rear view and side on. Taken with the 50D and 100-400mm. Exif intact. All are cropped to different degrees. PS just a little tweak here and there on levels, and a little sharpening.

Enjoy, Chris

1. Korean Air B747-400, in from Vienna then onto Seoul Inchon

4. Dornier Do-328. I know, this one is a little soft, was going for prop blur.

Thanks Frank. Makes a change for the sun to be out when I'm off work. Normally sit watching them arrive on 28 wishing I could be outside :-)

Thanks

Zurich is very good for photos and spotters. There are various viewing places all around the fence, plus they still have a viewing area in the middle of the airfield.

Awesome shots Slim!

I have a co-worker that just came back from Zurich last thursday. He loved the 12 days he was there. He is not a photographer though so no airplanes.
Sounds good though, I might have to make my own visit!

Thanks

If you ever make the trip, give us a shout, might even be persuaded to give ya the 10cent tour :-)
Zurich is one of the friendliest places for aircraft photography I know of in europe.
