EPWA 2017.02.09 Scandinavian retro

EPWA 2017.01.25 W6 A321 olympic bid

Wizzair based in Warsaw for some time its A321 painted in the Budapest Olympic bid livery. Not the best weather for spotting on the day I've chosen to catch it.

EPWA 2016.11.21 Austrian Boeing 767

A sunny morning in Warsaw. Austrian came by with one of their 767s for maintenance. Apart of that the usual Qatari A330, Emirates 777 and the unusual Slovak Yak 40 and an Open Skies An-26

EPWA 2016.09.21 Air China inauguration

Another foreign airline in Warsaw, what is more, from a country not so close. Air China started flights on the route from Beijing to Warsaw. Adding more capacity on that route to the current 3 weekly flights of LOT. In the winter two flights per week, more in the summer. A long layover with a early morning arrival. Here the first landing and departure.

EPWA 2016.09.18 Beriev Be-200

It's a long way from Portugal to Russia. Too long for a Beriev Be-200 to fly it non-stop thus they had to make several stops on its way. Luckily on their way back home they stopped for fuel in Warsaw. Russia did send two Be-200 to Portugal to help fight wildfires. A rare sight in Europe!

Charter season at its best! A Boeing 747 visiting Warsaw. There is only one queen of the skies!

EPWA 2016.08.27 Summer morning

I wanted to take advantage of the clear skies and sunny weather and take some morning arrivals shots. A plan is always good up to the moment when it stops being plausible. After two arrivals as planned on runway 11, one of the departures reported a heavy tailwind and all was switched. Back to the rather usual 29 ops. I planned to stay only around 1 hour but ended up almost 4. Nevertheless I'm happy about the outcome. Oh, and the MD11 which usually doesn't fly on Saturdays but because its flight got cancelled the day before it did on that day.

EPWA 2016.08.23 Kazakh Government A330

Another day, another delegation in Warsaw. Thanks to that visit, among others, Poles will soon have the possibility to travel to Kazakhstan visa free.

EPWA 2016.08.20 An124 departure from runway 11

Due to some works in progress, runway 15/33 was closed. Thus the An124 visible in the last entry when it was supposed to depart we've been wondering whether or not will it wait for the longer runway to open or use the shortest one available for departures in Warsaw. They did not wait and what a sight it was!

EPWA 2016.08.19

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.

EPWA 2016.08.17 Plus Ultra A340 and DHL B767

The summer season was a hard one for Small Planet Airlines. They encountered delays and fleet problems, sometimes they needed to wet-lease planes like the A340 from Plus Ultra in order to get their clients to their destinations. And later in the day one of DHLs Boeing 767s came in for some scheduled maintenance.

EPWA 2016.07.15 Small Planet Afriqiyah

Sometimes, this season more often, Small Planet airlines got different (non-Polish) planes to fly their routes. We even got one in a hybrid livery of Small Planet and Afriqiyah. Being a fan of the Libyan airlines livery passing on that photo opportunity would be a shame.

Every MD11 is currently a gem. In Warsaw, every being not a UPS one is a bigger one, even if it's white all over. Here a Western Global Airways.

EPWA 2016.07.10 E-4B departure

It arrived before most delegations, departed after most of them. The E-4B took a very nice turn on the taxiway before departing from runway 33. Additionally two C-17s came in for some transports.

EPWA 2016.07.09 NATO departures

After the middle of the night arrival of the Air Force one, I hoped for a daylight departure. Couple more minutes and that wouldn't happen. Quite nice weather gave the opportunity for some decent photos of most departing delegations. Various planes, various liveries, all of them not a daily sight.

EPWA 2016.07.07 Azerbaijan and USAF (E4-B, C-32)

Preceding the NATO summit in Warsaw, some of the equipment was brought in earlier. Delegations arrived at different times and dates. On the 7th of July came in, apart from other, the delegation of Azerbaijan (with a Boeing 767, an Airbus A319 and a Gulfstream G200), and United States Air Force arrived with an E4-B, a C-32. Additionally some pictures of other traffic in the light of a setting sun.

Days before the visit of the President of the United States of America his staff and stuff had to arrive. We've been lucky enough to get a C-5 in the package :)

A evening like many but with some unusual planes and carriers coming into Warsaw. This time a Omni Air International Boeing 767-200 (N225AX) and a Royal Air Force KC2 Voyager (ZZ331).
