Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

The day before yesterday I brought my brother and his friends to Weeze Airport for a flight to Stockholm. It was my intention to drop them of, and drive to Geilenkirchen AB. Unfortunately it was raining like hell, so I decided to shoot some civil a/c's. :evil:

Fortunately it stopped raining during sunset. Here are the results of Ryanair's EI-DPW 737-8AS.

Yes indeed, and they fold open quite fast too. Like the stairs of a KC-135 more though :wink:

Strange .... normally they use the normal stairs to load passengers onboard at Weeze.

Did you also have a look in the general aviation area ?

Nope, there wasn't a lot of activity on the field. I stayed for four hours and saw only a few a/c's (all Ryanair).

I thought Ryanair always use his own stairs.. It is cheaper and faster :wink:
Every RYR 737-800 (maybe just a few not) is equiped with this stair.

Nice pictures, Sven! But where are the militairy pics :o

There wasn't a lot of flying activity this day. Weeze doesn't receive a lot of military visitors as far as I know, well during their airshow they do :wink:.
