ohhha  cigar tube in the fog....

not your best mees by far, to me the ground looks a little dodgy

Also had this lying around, that's what you mean with side on...?

I agree with Matt here Mees, the second one is by far the better of the two. It adds more feeling to the image as we can see some AI and the airport buildings, tucking away neatly into the fog - also because we are looking at the aircraft side-on, it gives it a more 3D feel instead of making it look somewhat flat like in the first image.
If you really wanted to make that shot a stunner, you could play with the time of day, perhaps get a fantastic orange glow in the fog or likewise.....

Yup, that's exactly what I mean Mees .

Sometimes shots look great taken directly head-on (0 degrees in Recorder), but in a situation like this I would say it looks better this way.  The view in the second lets you see more scenery even through the fog.

Well, I'm going to differ from the rest Mees, I really like the first one with the lights of the runway dissappearing into the fog behind. The second is also nice, but a more common shot. Also, looks like your aoa is a bit high in the second.... could be just an illusion though.
