Some spotting at Stockholm-Arlanda


Recommended Posts

Last monday I was fortunate enought to get a day off from work, and among other things I took my dear little son out to Arlanda to look at some airplanes.

The weather was great, with just some broken coulds on the horizon. We ended up just short of runway 01L, that was serving as landing runway for the day. Departures was out of runway 08, and out of sight from most spotting places I've found.

Just as we were getting out of the car the first on came. Having learned my lesson from last time I had fitted the appropriate lens before heading out, so I managed to start snapping straight of the mark.

It was a Fokker 50 from Skyways, and as it turned out this was actually the last day of operations for the company before declaring for bankrupcy. :(

SE-LIO according to the paintjob....

Seen here heading back to terminal 3. Skyways had a large enough presence at Arlanda to have their own Terminal. Just eight gates, but still...

Caught both air- and road traffic in the same shot ;)

My co-spotter has spotted something, not sure what but most likely a plane ;)

Time to abandon Skywas and the Fokker 50's and change to another Carrier and plane.

Smoke should mean a good landing I guess...

Ah, it's LN-RPG, the plane I based the route for my FS2Crew review on...

Warm weather gives plenty of green stuff that can get in the way....

Another one finds it way down..

Kasper gave every plane that came in to land a wave to say hello ;)

This time to LN-RCU, yet another 737-600.

But it looks like it works well without them too...

Thanks Joe and Alan.

It was a great day, and the weather didn't make it any worse either.

Considering Kaspers favorite toys at the moment I'd say he will be a chef.. at daycare he and one other boy tend to occupy the toy stove most of the time ;)

So he got his own for use at home when he turned two years old yesterday ;)
