A nice busy day at AMS. Not too busy with interesting planes, just the usual lot. But the official Airliners.net spotters meet made it a nice day. Shame about the weather. Just grey sky. I do not mind a grey sky if there is a bit of rain for spray-shots, but nothing like that.

1) Air Alps Do-328 with motion blur.
2) Helvetic F100 with motion blur. Check out the larger size at JP.net and A.net (god willing) in a few days.
3) Delta B767. This plane came very very close to a tail strike!
4) Aer Lingus A320 touching down and reversing.
5) KLM B747.
6) First time since ages on the observation deck. Pilot cleaning the windshield of KLM 737.
7) Simple shot of KLM 737-900.
8) NW DC-10 in new livery. The livery is starting to grow on me. I love the way the colours are always different depending on light. I still dislike the right side of the tail with the arrow pointing NE.
9) NW DC-10 in old livery.
10) Singapore Airlines B777 rotating of the Polderbaan.

I suppose. But a Air Caraibes A330 had been announced but did not show up, so I was quite disappointed at that. It came in today, but did not go to AMS myself.

Hopefully I'll catch it later cause Holland EXEL is using it for a few weeks while one of their 767s is undergoing maintenance.

I'm not so sure about that!

You'll never see a KLM 747, Northwest DC-10s or Delta 767 at Heathrow, so its a top-notch selection!

Some lovely shots peter - especially like the Air Alps Do328 shot - a great motion blur in that one. :)
