PH-KCH / CH-008 (cn 48562/591) Two great ex-KLM tri-holers seen sitting in a corner of Victorville, awaiting their fate as scrap-metal while already being stripped down to pieces for spare parts. The tail and winglet visible to the left belongs to PH-KCI while -KCH has no winglets, doors or engines left. Sad to see these gorgeous jets disappearing so fast. |

OY-RCG (cn 5079) Climbing out in front of the well-known mountains surrounding Innsbruck Airport about 5 minutes before the sun vanishes behind the snow-covered peaks to the Southwest. Operating a winter charter flight from Copenhagen, not Vágar Airport on the Faroe Islands, where it mostly flies otherwise. |

UR-PSC (cn 29662/3182) Seen on final approach for runway 26 on a nice and sunny winter afternoon in Tyrol, completing a ski charter flight from Kiev. The mountain chain in the background is the well-known 'Nordkette'; the thin, towering peak to the very left is called 'Frau Hitt' and 2270 meters high. An ancient legend says 'Frau Hitt' was a queen of giants on her horse who met a beggar asking for food. All she gave was a rock instead of something edible, and the beggar then cast a spell on her, transforming her into stone. |

D-ABDU (cn 3516) This Air Berlin Airbus is seen after vacating runway 16 via twy E7 as the sun is about to set and gives us some stunning sunlight after a huge thunderstorm moved through. The airport was closed for some 30 minutes due to the CB passing exactly above with heavy rain and plenty of lightning. The Zurich ATC tower on top of Terminal A as well as two Lufthansa aircraft and a Swiss A320 can be seen in the background. |

PH-BFK / FK-031 (cn 25087/854) The sun is rising to the East, beautifully illuminating the engines and the clouds below as we are cruising high above the Atlantic Ocean as KLM 644 from New York - JFK to Amsterdam. The shadow of the earth can also clearly be seen above the horizon. Photographed from seat 28A. |

N83CP (cn 635) This Gulfstream V is one of many corporate jets that visit Geneva regularly and is here shown during line-up for a runway 23 departure on a sunny and warm summer afternoon. One just has to appreciate the stunning look of an ultra-long range business jet. |

VP-CTT (cn 139) 'Planes fly well if they look good' is one of Dassault Aviation's design philisophies, and they did an excellent job on the Falcon series business jets. This beautiful F2000EX is seen climbing out of runway 21 just about 20 minutes before the sun sets behind the mountains of the Engadine valley with its livery reflecting nicely on the upper surface of the wing. The elevator input by the crew can also be seen as they are about to retract the landing gear. |

HB-JUS (cn 4123) Swissjet 261 positioning in from Zurich about to land on runway 03 on a beautiful, sunny winter morning in the Swiss Alps. The snow covered ground is almost like a softbox, brightening up the fuselage and the wings nicely from the ground up. Dedicated to the entire Swissjet team, excellent working with you for this past year. |

HB-XOE (cn 1019) Air Glaciers was one of many helicopter operators flying all weekend up here in the Swiss Alps, transporting equipment and passengers to approx. 2200m ASL for the annual Lauberhorn / Wengen men's world cup downhill race. This classic Alouette is seen approaching the temporary helipad in a steep turn to pick up another load of people after the race, flying them down to Lauterbrunnen. Taken at 180mm, ISO 50, f/14 and a shutter speed of 1/50th. |

OY-SGC (cn 9343) The Dreamliner among Globals certainly is a crowd-pleaser with the local enthusiasts and I didn't mind at all when they decided for a runway 08 departure on this excellent sunny winter morning. The snow-covered mountain tops of the 'Nordkette' provide a great backdrop as the landing gear is retracted and this eye-catcher heads for Moscow Vnukovo. |

OY-RCD (cn E2235) Another day comes to an end as this Atlantic Airways Avro RJ comes down the ILS for Zurich's runway 14 just as the sun slips behind the hills West of Kloten Airport. Gotta love silhouetted aircraft against the bright orange evening sky. |
