Something a bit different today

Hello everyone,

Today I wanted to give you a bit of a different blog. Skyguide made it possible for us to go visit the airport of Zurich Kloten, which is the main airport in (the Swiss-German part of) Switzerland.

I could just tell you how it was, but since one picture can say more than a thousand words: here they are.

First time I see the A388 (Singapore Airlines).

American Airlines B767 approaching the holding point of runway 16.

There the metal rolls, washing the localizer of runway 34.

Germanwings A319 reversing the thrust on runway 14.

Air Berlin A320 only a few miliseconds before greeting the ground again.

Main gear on ground, activate thrust reversers.

 Swiss Airlines A330 hitting the asphalt of runway 14.

Swiss Airlines A340 showing what "light on wheels" means.

There the beast waits, lurking in the distance until it is called into action.

Air Berlin A320 choosing the way up from runway 28.

Ehr, positive rate, gear up?

United Airlines B767 being pulled away.

There it comes, rushing towards us on runway 16: the Whale.

V1, rotate.

V2.

Positive rate.

Gear up, heading towards sunnier destinations.


That was it for today. Now back to studying for my 3 upcoming exams this week (ACT, RAD and FPL).

See you later.
