Title: A few holiday snaps
Post by: Dave on February 19, 2012, 05:24:18 PM
Whilst waiting for din dins at our hotel, I thought I'd share a few holiday snaps. Just quick edits again using my netbook, I edit properly once home again. :)

I believe some of you guys may have seen something similar in Dublin today?

Thanks Jake! :D happy to be here, seems to be more friendly than Frankfurt's aviation forum haha :P Hope you don't mind my language in the forum, as English is not my first language :-)

Cheers guys, really enjoyed ourselves at Frankfurt, and the last day was brilliant with most of the day spent in the bitter coldness with the sun shining on our backs. Saw some pretty interesting aircraft aswell, including two new 747-8F's which really do look fantatsic with the longer engines, longer fuselage and longer wings.
 
Thanks for the bus info Henrik, we ended up just staying at the RWY 25L platform as it was only 2 minutes walk from the Hotel and most of the interesting stuff arrives into that particular runway. Will definately have to meet up when I'm next there, likely before your summer visit.  :)

A few more holiday snaps from the final morning, a freezing one at that! (although not as cold as Finland  ;D  ) I'm trying a new image attachment method, in order to see the full size image, just click the picture, and in the link click the picture again for full size.

What can I say apartment from saying Frankfurt Airport is simply an amazing place for aviation photography, especially with the taxi way passing about 150m in front of you and the two main RWY's directly behind.
