Remarks: | One of the most beautifull liveries on one of the most beautifull airliners. Taken while the airliner was on short finals of 21 L, just a few days before the terrorist attacs at the big apple. Untill then, people were looking at planespotters with sympathy -mainly because of the tragic accident of Concorde and the publicity that came as a side effect for our hobby. A few days later everyone of us was treated as a possible terrorist or spy, bringing cold war memories to our peacefull country: "What the hell is doing that guy, holding that camera and taking pictures of airliners landing, just out of our home ?" It's a shame.... |
