Some more plane photos from Switzerland

[TobyV]

Not very "on topic"; Classic - well one almost is, British - hmm, a wing here (Airbus, Bombardier CSeries), some parts of an IAE V2500 engine there? Flying - yup definitely and this is E&S after all.

Taken last night at ZRH. I went mostly to see the F50 (where's the anorak emoticon?)

Nice work Toby! I'm a fan of the F50 too and I love the shots against the clouds, beautiful

Great pics, Toby, thanks for posting.

Beautiful! The head-on view of the biz jet looks like it cut itself shaving.

It's a F27-500, with a longer radome, double front nose wheel, smaller (but more) passenger windows and less exciting sounding engines

I wondered what you meant for a moment then I realised; the covers over the pitot tubes/probes and the "remove before flight" tags!

Brilliant photos as usual Toby, thanks for sharing them.

The Fokker 50 is my favourite aircraft. I dispatched VLM Fokker 50s at London City for 3 years and really miss the airline as it was back then.
The aircraft is highly capable, more so than the ATR and despite having flown on one numerous times (including several jumpseat flights), I've booked to go to Antwerp on one in October.

Can't wait

I've never been to Belgium actually and I am thinking of booking Antwerp from Zürich at some point this year too. If I am feeling very Fokker mad, I might even divvy up to stay in the F27 B&B just over the border in Hoogerheide:

I quite fancy staying there as well.

Such a shame the Fokker fleet is becoming so hard to travel on.
Luckily I've flown on the 50, 70 and 100.
