Early visit to get the Tailwind 737-400 that I needed. They often fly in at darkness so glad to get this oldie during day light!

It was very crowded at the CGN viewing terrace on this unusually sunny Sunday. Close to 100 spotters came out to catch the ATC 744F. The Air Nostrum CRJ-1000 was a nice pax charter as well. best Anton Pix: https://www.flickr.com/photos/gulfstream3/albums/72157720044906550 log: 10 October 2021 Köln-B...
A rare DHC8-100 passed by Cologne-Bonn on delivery from Wyoming, USA to Kenya. It has a white/blue scheme that is a partial leftover from previous operator Canadian North. Already on the road since 30 September when it departed Sheridan,WY, the homebase of Bighorn Airways: flying SHR-MSN-MHT-BGR-UAK...
Goal was the SkyExpress, a new airline for me that came with their A320NEO. Bagged unexpectedly also the Danish CRJ that visits about once a month and the albino A320 that is destined for the new German airline ‘Leav Aviation’ (sic, no typo!) best regards, Anton Pix: https://www.flickr.com/photos/gu...
2 HiFly planes were in the forecast and a Compass Air Cargo 738F was on the ground so paid a short visit to catch those. The HiFly planes are chartered by the Canadian government and would fly Afghan refugees the next day that came on RCAF CC-177s (C-17s). The Hungarian Saab was also an unusual visi...
Short visit to Cologne-Bonn to catch the Transall Goodbye Tour. The overflight was a bit disappointing as the 2 C-160s took runway 32R instead of the planned runway 24. It went to 10 airports today (as XFW was cancelled) with another 14 tomorrow. One Canadian C-17 (CC177) was present while earlier i...
hard to read them from different angles. Easiest way: last letter of registration is on the antenna on top. You are 100% correct but they often park the Super Pumas (and EC-155s) with front or back pointing towards my viewpoint (Flugzeugwerft, Richthofenstrasse) with little or no chance of reading ...
Short visit to catch the beautiful PC-12 in some aboriginal colour scheme!

Bit late but here is my log & pictures of 12/7 and the Italian arrivals.

A nice German Army @ Hangelar today.
