Flew back to Amsterdam on Sunday.

About to roll.  Houston starting the afternoon flights to and from Europe.  A Continental 777 landed over my head as I pulled onto the runway :o  Wasnt to happy with the ATC :-X
Image
Gear retracting and off we go.  ETA is 08:00.
Image
Looking back over the airport.  Lufthansa is already rolling and will soon cause me some problems.  Its not very nice to have an A340 fly right under you while climbing out.  Then later in the flight we were at the same cruising altitude and same path...Quick decents and sharp turns are not liked by passengers :-[  Wont be to long before we join in the massive trans-atlantic rush.
Image
Running late and inbound for the Polderbaan.
Image
Overshot about 1/2 the runway but still stopped in time.  Made it to the gate 22 minutes late...

Great pics... but I believe that is an A340 by Continental.. not a triple7... right?

Thanks :)

but I believe that is an A340 by Continental.. not a triple7... right?


That is a Lufthansa A340-300 in the first pic...It followed me over the Atlantic on its way to Frankfurt.  As I was lining up for the runway there was a Continental 777-200 from London that came in for landing right over me.  Didn't get any shots of it though ;)


Continental does not opperate any Airbus aircraft ;)
