First 4 days of a week Larnaca LCA/LCLK (31 photos)

Post by FlyTheWorld »

Hello,

Last Wednesday I came back from a week of holiday/spotting at Larnaca with Scramble member mreddo.

Larnaca Airport isn't a very populair spotting destination (yet). But we thought, there is a hotel with a beach on the approach-route so it can't be that bad. After all I can cunclude it's a wonderfull airport with some exotic and unexpected movements! On monday and friday there is the Scandinavian invasion and on wednesday you got the British invasion. Almost every day you get some nice heavy Russians as Transaero B742, B743, B763, almost every day an Aeroflot IL96, twice weekly Rossiya with a B763, twice weekly Nordwind with B752 and some CRJ-600's of Air Volga (RusLine).

Here are the photos, I hope you'll enjoy them!

any one for some info about this one?
It's a Do228-212 of the Italian Army (= Esercito, written below the cockpit). The code is clearly visible: EI-103. That should make it MM62158, c/n 8209.

Nice airport indeed! Maybe I should convince the family to spend a week on the beach there...
