Hi there guys and gals,
Went up to Amsterdam Schiphol International(AMS)sunday the 2nd of june. For me this is a two hour drive from down south(Maastricht, South Limburg). AMS is a great airport for photography, as they have nearly no fences. Many of the 6 runways have good locations but are only accessible with a car. I took more than 500 shots but have tried to keep this report interesting . Of course, what we see as ‘boring’, you might find interesting. So I have picked the photo’s that represent AMS and the many carriers that it serves. I hope you enjoy my report and thanks for watching.
Started off at runway 06:
ASIA titles in a different font as usual:
Arke returning from one of it’s holiday destinations:
Always nice a Tri-Holer:
Leased from Euro Atlantic:
Finally, my 1st shot of an Etihad B77F:
I hate photographing DH8D’s, but a Croatian one is always a must:
Transavia “Sunweb” special:
Leased from GOL for the summer season:
Air France’s new “low cost” division HOP!:
The AFL scheme looks good on the A321 too:
Something you don’t get in the NY area:
KLM “Skyteam”:
Starting to see more “sharklets” in Europe too. Delivered to Vueling of Spain 3 weeks ago:
Moving over to the departure runway 36L, the most westerly runway of AMS. Great place to photograph from. There is a bike path that runs the length of nearly the entire runway. Pick your spot and shoot away!
E190 “Skyteam”, a bit dark as the sun hasn’t come round yet but I still like the shot:
Air Explore(Slovakia), have leased this machine to Arke for the summer season:
Turkish outfit Onur have some of their aircraft fitted with these additional “21 years” titles:
Just a nice shot, PH-AKA lifting of 36L half way down:
English outfit FlyBe are common to AMS:
“Retro”, early rotation:
AMS have lots of cargo flights too, KAL being one of the regulars:
Blue1, one of the few B717 operators in Europe:
Qatar Cargo are very regular too:
KLM’s “Skyteam” B773:
Another summer lease from GOL for Transavia:
Air Atlanta Icelandic operating for Saudia Cargo:
EasyJet are nearly just as common as KLM in AMS:
Couldn’t have AMS report without a KLM B744 “Queen of the skies”. PH-BFU looking remarkably clean:
Norwegian Air Shuttle and one of their many B738’s sporting a famous Scandinavian:
Another Cargo regular, China Eastern departing at last light:
Hope you enjoyed them and best regards,
Chris
