Just some simple shots with the hope of getting some water spraying action. But the heat haze won with me.

The weather was: sunny with a probable heat haze over the runway. :P
One could say a day like any other (+ a An124 arrival) but no, a kinda special day for me as my little sister left Poland for around a year. But everyone has the right for self-accomplishment and personal growth.

Amsterdam spotting, day 2. 2016.05.15

After being unable to catch the Martinair MD11 on the first day we returned to the airport on Sunday with the sole goal of getting it! The runway usage was rather unfavorable. We made our bets on the one that it would have a shorter taxi to. It didn't use it. It taxied all the way to 36L for departure so we drove after it, racing with time. On the route a police car got behind us so we couldn't drive to fast.. And we just saw the MD getting closer and closer to the runway. The last stretch, it's slowly lining up, it's rolling, we are nearly at the spot... We desperately stop, get out, take the shots that we are able to. All in all, not the worst, especially after that drive. Well, as we are already at the airport we stay there for a short time. Get some pictures of the "morning" departure wave from 36L. The sun is a little nicer than the day before. A couple nice heavies depart pleasuring us. After that we return home again and set for a well earned rest. The next day I have the morning flight back to Warsaw to catch.

EPWA 2016.04.18 Volga Dnepr IL76 departure

After the night in Warsaw, RA-76511 (VDAs Il-76) departed together with its cargo. Unfortunately, again, a cargo aircraft choose the other runway it was supposed to... In addition, while waiting for the departure three other aircraft leaving Warsaw from runway 29.

Today we had a visit from a Turkish Airlines A321 in the special livery "Discover the potential". Hard conditions for spotting.

Turkey

A couple of months ago (February 2014 to be exact) I've been in Turkey for a week. During the 7 days I took 5 flights on 3 different types with 3 different airlines to 4 different airports. It was more of a sightseeing trip than a aviation one. I simply wasn't too keen on spending an entire week in one city. This time I shall post about all the flights in this one post, but in the future I'll try and make a post for each flight with a review of the flight, my feelings, photos and so on... Lets begin! For polish speaking readers a trip report is available here.
