Yesterday I went to DUS. I came back with +-900 photo's and a lot of sunburn.

Here are some pictures:

I'll try to post more pictures when I've edited them.

What I don't always get is :

Some HLX planes have the german D- registration,
and sometimes the Belgian OO- Registration.

Could someone please explain this?

Btw: Nice pictures like always

HL and HLX merged with TUIfly, all these planes have a D- reg I think and probably they'll all wear the TUIFly livery.
One plane, D-AHLF (ex-HLX) is now owned by Jetairfly (OO-JAT), but is still in the HLX colours: http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=634703

I think this is what confuses you.

Nice pictures Rutger.
The Germanwings is my favorite one! (nice angle!!)

Watch out for too much contrast and unlevelled pictures

Greetz,

Thanks!
This is why I like approach shots with no ground visible the most: you don't notice if the picture is not completely level

I've just added 5 more pics:

But the TU-134 fleet they had before the B733's came was even nicer

Nice pictures Rutger and well done on your first visit to DUS !

Very nice pics Rutger !

DUS is a great place for spotting. The photo-opportunities on the observation decks are very good. I went there 2 weeks ago and I'm going again this weekend. Its like a tradition to go there at least twice in summer.

Again, very nice shots !

Greetz,

That's also my favourite one

We were so lucky the A330 was completely above the A320, and not with the gears behind the other one!
But the Tu-154 was also great. What a fantastic sound when it passed by!! Great Sovjet-made jet!!

Hello

Nice pictures rut_her. It seems to me you did enjoy your day

.

Chris :

I will have to go to DUS one day Wink

Well you certainly should, DUS is the only airport abroad I've quite recently visited.

If you want to go and see some TU-154's you're at the right airport @ DUS, but I recommand you not to wait too long, they ARE actually getting more rare.

But 3 TU-154's at DUS is still not an exception, I have to admit, you've been lucky then, but it's still possible.

In every case, the noon flight of Aeroflot should still be a TU-154, but if you really have bad luck it is already a A320/319.

Best regards: Yannick
