Remarks: Heavy traffic in AMS, from left to right, 737 KLM, A333 Delta, 738 Transavia with Gol engine and winglet, A333 KLM, A300 IranAir, 77F Emirates Cargo and MD11 KLM.
Remarks: This is an aerial view of the left ramp (apron 200/300) and hangar mostly used by business jets. In the middle of the picture is the new control tower, quite large compared to the size of the airport. Finally, on the top right you could see the Police helicopter base. Taken from I-IAFO many thanks to my friend Michele wich has made possible the realization of this photo.
Remarks: Grounded 787 Dreamliners glisten in the last minutes of sunlight as a rainy afternoon has given way to clear skies just in time for sunset. Thankfully a fix for the 787's battery problem has now been approved and these birds should be back in the air shortly. Photo shot from JA736A, operating NH6 to LAX, as we were climbing away from runway 16R.
