New spot at EBBR

I had to be in Brussels today for radio-broadcasting, so afterwards I couldn't resist hopping over to our national airport. I finally found a sweet new spot I've been hearing a lot about. This place gives you an excellent view on the arrival-runway. It's situated on a small hill, so you can see over the enoying fences... yeay!

Thanks guys... I love this new place. Something different from those planes against a grey or blue sky.

My only fear is that plenty of sun will make the runway produce a heath-haze, and as the planes touch down just a smidge to far from the spot, that can't be goo for the imagequality. We'll see how that goes during the summer.

No special visitors this time, but I'm going to return here soon...



I think you've just about summed up Bristol Airport, hoping to go back there tommorow, providing the weather holds out. Nice shots BTW

Almost looks like there was a crosswind component to the runway, from the low left wing on a couple of those shots ?........
....... nice and crisp shots Kris

Bit of a crosswind?

Great shots, I love the backdrop.  Its a nice change from the usual terminal/tarmac/fence backgrounds
