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!  Wink
...

SFN moving into position. 7-9 hours later she will be at her destination...  Smiley Austrian in the background!
...

When spotting, you also have the opportunity to see airlines that you've never heard of.... I was fortunate enough to see this MNG A310!  Smiley

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!   Smiley
...

If any of you havent gone spotting yet, try it. Its not only fun, other spotters tend to be nice, friendly folks. Very nice hobby!  Smiley

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. Wink

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

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 Wink  Theres a few cammeras though that you might not want to be pointing at an aircraft...Some do tend to look like something different Tongue

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 Wink  But nearly 90+ miles is a tad to far to go just for spotting Tongue
