Hi People,
if you already wondered how crazy I am, this topic (or one of the other two coming up shortly) might give you an answer.
As some of you might know, the World Economic Forum takes place in Davos, Switzerland this week. This results in a flood of private jets and special traffic at all airports in and around Switzerland while the busiest hub for the visitors of the event is probably Zurich Airport. Since a very special guest was announced for this year’s event, I teamed up with aviation_muc97, a fellow Munich spotter, to make the 350km trip down to Switzerland for one day. 24h and 700km after we departed for Zurich we were back at home with a crazy load of pictures and amazing perspectives (@Cameron_Stone, we might want to talk about a new competition now 
) . As you know, the forum has a 10 picture limit so I got myself mod approval to spam you with three different topics for this day to somewhat get you an idea how amazing that day was.
I’ll start with the main focus of Tuesdays trip, the VIP and Business Jets, continue with the “normal” traffic around the event and end with the most amazing part: Our 2 hour ramp tour across the airport which offered the most amazing views of aircraft I’ve got so far.
So let’s dive right into the pics! Due to the most important arrival of the day being announced for 8-10am, we found ourselves at the runway 30 minutes prior to sunrise at 7.30am.
The time of day made taking pictures quite challenging since we had to work without any direct sunlight for the first arrival we wanted to catch. Thanks to the United States flying their president around the world with two 747s, we on the other hand got the chance to take some test shots with the first aircraft, 82-8000, callsign SAM45, arriving from Andrews Air Force Base.
Shortly after, the sun rose above the mountains and we got a few sun rays for the “real deal”. At 8.22 am, 92-9000, the famous Air Force One touched down on runway 16.
Not as spectacular but still quite good looking were the following business jets arriving in the course of the morning such as this Gestair Cessna Citation…
…HL8290, a nicely painted Boeing 737 BBJ owned by Hyundai…
…one of @AdamCallow’s Dassault Falcons registered on the Isle of Man…
…the first of what felt like hundreds of Gulfstreams, this one owned by TVPX Aircraft Solutions…
…another one flying right over our heads when changing our position due to the movement of the sun…
…and shortly before finally touching down on runway 14.
Somewhat bigger than your usual private jet was this arrival from Paris Le Bourget, wearing a very fitting registration: N767A
Not quite as big, but considering that the plane was registered in Austria anyway, the flight probably wasn’t the longest anyway.
Did I mention there were a lot of Gulfstreams? Well, to close the topic here’s another one operated by ElitAvia.
You aren’t a big fan of General Aviation? No worries, just keep your eyes open for the upcoming two topics featuring commercial aircraft and close up views of amazing planes
