stu7708 244 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 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... Next one coming in on final Caught both air- and road traffic in the same shot Another Fokker 50, this one is SE-LEU 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. A SAS 737-800 fitted with winglets To those interested in the Registration we've got LN-RRH printed towards the tail. Easing her down Smoke should mean a good landing I guess... Heading in to the gate, as a competitor gets towed to it's gate.. And another one coming in to land.. Yet another SAS 737, but this time a -600 LN-RPU to be precise Almost there And down on the tarmac again.. Kasper's spotted another one.. Yet another SAS 737.... .....-600 series.. 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. Finally one where you can see the heat coming out of the engines.. Last one before we had to move on. another SAS 737-800, but this one without winglets. But it looks like it works well without them too... Landed, and just in time for lunch too.. Thanks for looking, hope you liked them.. Cheers Micke Link to post Share on other sites
The red barron 41 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Great shots! Next task is to get Kasper to recognize the aircraft rather than state "plane" Link to post Share on other sites

PanzerFodder 0 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Some really nice shots there Micke, you'll have to do a couple of repaints of those for you hangar . Cheer's...Graham... Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks Graham.. As for repaints, I've got SAS repaints for all NGX variants already, so I think I'll pass on that Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi Micke, Love the shots of the aircraft and thanks for including the latest shots of Kasper, he's going to be a pilot for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 excellent pics, looks like you had a great time. Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 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 Link to post Share on other sites
