Spotting at Amsterdam Schiphol 11/4/17 | Part 2 – Polderbaan Crosswind Landings

Well, here’s the big one, from the moment I first watched spotting videos from AMS I had always wanted to visit the Polderbaan, and now finally I was able to, the weather was near enough perfect for it. Nice and sunny but with a strong westerly crosswind. Movements wise we caught some nice 777’s, A330, 737’s including one of Ryanair’s newest EI-FZG, and much more. We also caught some landings on…

Thomas Cook A330 EMERGENCY LANDING at Manchester Airport

G-MDBD Airbus A330-243, TCX2718 From MAN to Las Vegas developed a problem over the Irish sea, apparently to do with fuel getting into the air conditioning system making the air very dangerous to breathe. The aircraft entered a holding pattern to burn off fuel then began flying back to MAN but during this time something prompted the crew to Squawk 7700, Perhaps something got worse. They came in…

Spotting at Manchester Airport | 15th April 2017

Quite an interesting day at MAN to say the least, the intention had been to try and get some crosswind landing shots and potentially a go around or two as the wind was hanging around 20 knots. Surprisingly (based on my luck) there we no go arounds, but we ended up getting a few interesting clips. After filming some superb morning heavy overhead landings from Shadowmoss Road we moved over to the…
