Two new flight enthusiasts on their way

Post by DanKH »

As you can see the princess never leaves home without an airplane....

Almost any overflying aircraft is a 1D-80 according to her (she once saw a MD-80 taking off)

Our son begs every now and the to take a father/son trip out to the end of the RWY at either EKRK or EKCH

The fat guy with the diminishing hairline is yours faithfully.

Indeed Leif.

Princess has always had it, and I think the big turnaround was the very first F/S trip where we stood right under the flightpath towards 04L.

Lovely silent summer evening, not a sound other than a few swallows here and there.

Our son walked to an from and then said "when are we going home...?" :roll:
Princess was a bit more patient.

"Just wait a few moments", I said. And suddenly he spotted a black dot right under the clouds in the far distance.

"There's one" I said, And we walked over to stand right in the middle of the rails. :worried:

As he came nearer it became obvious (to me) that it was a 744. Not a bad one to stand approx 50-70 meters under on your first spotting trip! :yipeee:

Soon followed by a A340 and a MD11 .... the rest were some MD's, ATR's and DCH8's.... finally a A330 which closed the day for us. :tonqe:

Earlier that day the pilot in a Sikorsky 61 from RDAF waved to them at EKRK..... :shock:

What a day for a couple of kids ;-) :sleepy:

From then on they has been lost. tonka
