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.

Zurich 25-01-2018

Post by LifelinerOne »

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:

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:

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...

15. After a quick drop off, this C-32B left for Shannon:

16. For me the most interesting Brazilian Embraer at this year's WEF, this VC-99B:
ImageVC99B-BRAF-2585-ZRH25jan18 by Anton Homma, on Flickr

17. Croatia was represented by this CL-604:

18. The usual suspect at every WEF is this A319CJ from the Ukrainian government:
ImageA319-UKR-URABA-ZRH25jan18 by Anton Homma, on Flickr

19. Such a pretty plane, the Gulfstream 5, this one from the Hellenic Air Force:
ImageG5-HAF-678-ZRH25jan18 by Anton Homma, on Flickr

20. Interesting Global Express from San Marino:
ImageBD700-PVT-T7BRS-ZRH25jan18 by Anton Homma, 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:
ImageA332-WMS-EIGFE-ZRH25jan18 by Anton Homma, 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:

23. My very first Falcon 8X:

24. Nice Legacy from Luxembourg:
ImageE135-PVT-LXOLA-ZRH25jan18 by Anton Homma, on Flickr

25. Always nice to catch a Gulf 4 from the United Arab Emirates:
ImageG4-PVT-A6VPS-ZRH25jan18 by Anton Homma, on Flickr

26. How cool, another Nigerian Air Force jet today and even such a pretty Falcon 7X:
ImageDA7X-NAF-5NFGV-ZRH25jan18 by Anton Homma, on Flickr

27. And I end my set with this low-light photo of this A320CJ of the government of Azerbaijan:
