Nice shots

Is this a normal day at AMS? Or were you just lucky to see such a high variety of widebodies and companies that day? It's been quite a while since I've been to AMS myself, but when looking at your pics, I guess it's time to go back one of the coming days

TK was an upgrade, the rest is standard traffic (except Jet Airways )
Yesterday was also the last flight of Eva Air jumbo. This week they start with their new B777-300's

British Airways - Summer 2008:

Starting with the Summer timetable 2008, BA will operate its LHR-AMS-LHR flights from Terminal 5. Due to the improved flight connections of T5 BA will expand aircraft capacity on the route with a daily B767-300 service. The frequency will remain at 8x daily flights.
