Title: Dublin Airport 27-01-12
Post by: casper on January 28, 2012, 12:59:35 PM: A very, very cold January day waiting on the 787 Dreamliner to appear. Some shots as we waited.

Post by: Paultojo on January 28, 2012, 06:41:24 PM: Top shooting Don MD-87 is very nice, nice G5 as well
Title: Re: Dublin Airport 27-01-12
Post by: Causeway74 on January 28, 2012, 10:11:22 PM: Is the viewing pretty easy to get at at Dublin? Do you need to shoot through a fence or is there a mound you can stand on?
Title: Re: Dublin Airport 27-01-12
Post by: casper on January 28, 2012, 11:26:29 PM: this gives you an idea of one of the spotting areas. There's a small mound to the left but it wouldn't take more than 5 or 6 people at a pinch, and a small set of step ladders would help even more.

Post by: casper on January 28, 2012, 11:31:28 PM: Also if you're feeling adventurous there's this crash barrier at the other side of the airport that will get you up above the fence and some very nice close ups.

I take it you guys missed the Aer Lingus retro, it arrived a few minutes after you zoomed past us tooting. ;D

And just to rub salt in our wounds, this A320 departed only a minute after the 787. >:( Oh the light we could've had! :-\
