Yesterday at Brussels National. We moved to different spotting locations around Steenokkerzeel, very fun. Met some nice Dutch spotters aswell. Great fun!

American Airlines and Air France!

A different American Airlines plane taxiing onto runway 25R, with a Croatian A320 at the runway treshold.

My favorite civil aircraft, the A330, waiting at the treshold. This is one of the SN Brussels aircraft, registration OO-SFN. So not the one in my sig!

At a new location, DHL landing!

We saw plenty of SN Brussels aircraft, of course. Here is one shot!

In two hours time, two Alitalias... Not too shabby, hey?

I dont know which airline this was, but kickass paint scheme. I suspect it of being a Luxair embraer!

Great shots, great variety.

PS. I think the last one is a CRJ.

Nice photos. Never went spotting at EBBR. Schiphol is a little further, but the spotting locations are 10 times better as well as the amount of traffic.

A few months ago I was standing in the brand new control tower...now that was a good view.  8)

Shots #7, 8 & 9 are excellent. Well done. ;)

PS. Nothing to do with me but this should really be posted as 2 separate topics.

Great pics...Looks like great locations ;)

Wouldn't say that it is considered a terrorist act...Might get a few questions in some places, especialy if theres not many spotters who come around that particular airport ;)  Theres a few cammeras though that you might not want to be pointing at an aircraft...Some do tend to look like something different :P

Havent had the chance to get over to Fort Wayne yet.  I know there is a couple of places near the end of a runway but I dont know where they are (727's are very common at FWA)....To bad Indianapolis is so far...At one point there was accualy small 5-6 car parking spots off to the side of the highway and a couple of sectioned off pieces of fencing just for spotters ;)  But nearly 90+ miles is a tad to far to go just for spotting :P
