This trip had never been planned to end in a trip report so I dont have so many pictures. I also dont remember all the details as it is already some month ago - it was in february this year ...
MUC-AMS on Embraer E190 from KLM Cityhopper
I had the MUC-AMS flight in the morning. That wasn't the best morning as it had been quite foggy in Munich. But first I had some problems with the CheckIn as the SelfCheckIn just said "No CheckIn possible - please proceed to a manned desk". There the lady was quite surprised but soon she found out that the flight was overbooked. I think she just saw my hopeful face because she soon added "but you will not get an upgrade to business". So sad ... But at least I got a nice seat at the emergency exit ... which normally costs a bit extra. So I didn't had to worry about legroom. I proceded airside and had a view on this AF flight arriving.
There was some other traffic around during our taxi
We finally made it into the air and I got a nice winglet-shot of our E190
The landing at AMS was really remarkable. The touchdown was ok, but the pilot wanted to take the shortes way to the parking so he hit the break that hard that lateron I found my life vest between my feet - it just came loose from the seat by itself
Arriving in AMS for my very first time it was intersting to see the variety of airlines

Here now just some spotting impressions from my transfer time at AMS:
very smokey engine startup
Oh, thats close ...
... I need a wide-angle
We soon started boarding our Fokker 70 for the flight to LPI. During the bus-ride I got this one on taxi
In the beginning we had a nice smooth ride.
Here is some aerial view of the city of Odense in Denmark
Crossing the sea the pilot came over the speaker that we are expecting a smooth flight and we will have around -11°C on Linköping whereas they had -20°C ast night. About 30sec after this announcement the plane started shaking wildly due to turbulence. The pilot came again with something like "that happens when you promise a smooth flight. Sorry for the inconvenience but I have to switch on the fasten-seatbelt and please be seated during that time" He was really a funny guy
Soon we crossed the Swedish coastline (with some small Avroliner on the bottom of the image going the other direction)
The swedish city of Jönköping on the southern end of lake Vättern
and here is our destination for today: Linköping with its airport on the right
Deboarding in LPI at -7°C
I dont have so many pictures from the way back as it was mostly in the dark.
Deboarting at AMS:

I hope you also enjoyed this more or less improvised report.
I am open to comments

Nice TR. You got some really nice shots of lots of interesting traffic. What camera do you use?
