This multiple part spotting series is here! In part 1, we have the heavies! All of these photos are from a two night trip to the Renaissance hotel! By far the best spotting I’ve ever done!
Delta A350-900
Arriving from the now one and only A350 route to Atlanta (Qatar replaced there’s with a 777), this plane can be seen landing from Seoul! It’s the first Delta A350 I’ve seen!
Turkish Airlines 787-900
Another aircraft switch, Turkish has replaced this route with a 787. It used to be done by a A330. Definitely not a bad thing!
The Antonov 124!
Saving the best for last, one of the worlds largest planes! Now, this plane was so far from my room, but enjoy the photos nonetheless.
You must have mistaken here somewhere. These big bois always arrive from Ireland. Every Friday night they depart from Istanbul, bound to Shannon Airport, then out to the U.S.
I am not really sure why it is done that way (since other airports in Europe operating Kalitta flies non stop to the U.S. without stopping.), perhaps a refuelling stop.
Wonderful photos, first time back in the spotting topic and this is what I see, amazing. The 2nd and 5th photos are the best. I also like the AN-124 with the Delta MD-80 rotating. Great job!
Went spotting there in that same hotel but only saw a few cargo 747’s across the airport and a Qatar a350 land in front of us but that was it besides the normal delta 737 and airbus 319,320,321, and a 757/767 here and there and some crj/erj’s and mad dogs.
