Back in May, I spent several days in Europe that included visits to Frankfurt, Hamburg (for the FlyerTalk Hamburg-Do, Istanbul and Zurich. My visit to Zurich was specifically geared for spending 2 full days of plane-spotting from different airport vantage points including ZRH’s fantastic Observation Deck and 2 parking structures that over look the airport.
Over 2 days I took well over 1000 photos and have whittled them down to only a few hundred. Out of this group of finalists, I pulled out some of my favorites and share them here. There will be a follow-up post to this one that will include several more photos as I did not want to have a post with over 20-30 photos and slow down everyone’s download!

Enjoy!
E x c e l l e n t pics! I loved all of them and my two favorite ones are the Singapore A380 where you capture on take off how massive that aircraft truly is, and the other that I love is the one of the Swiss A330 taking off. The one that gives the impression that the plane was going to hit the ground due to the steep angle of the ascend.
Lufthansaflyer Sir, you certainly know how to capture the majestic aura of planes, kudos to you my friend!
We REALLY need to revive the awesome idea of planes spotting photo travel DOs!!!
I was there 4 days ago. Great airport and good customer service from everyone we spoke with. Welcome change from CDG of course.
I like the photo of the Edelweiss A330. I forgot about the beauty of the Swiss countryside. That whole Alps region is a jewel!
