Frankfurt - Deutschland (27.12.2003) / Frankfurt - Germany (December 27, 2003)

 

The last spotting trip in the year brought me to Frankfurt. At December 27 I was going to the airport in the morning.
The temeratures this day were very low. After check-in at the seantor counter I was happy having a coffe in the heated
lounge. Boarding for flight LH 3531 to Frankfurt started at 10.05am at gate C54. This time a Airbus A320-211 D-AIPS
was our aircraft to Frankfurt. Takeoff was at 10.45am at runway 16. After aprox. 1:15 hours of flighttime we landed at
Frankfurt at runway 25R.

The weather in Frankfurt was also very cold with snowing. The temperature was at -5 degrees celsius. I spent the
afternoon on the visitor terrace at terminal B. I had a very good sight on aircrafts taxiing to runway 18 for departure.
Fortunately this runway was the active runway this afternoon. I fact of the cold weather a lot of people were at the
visitor terrace.

The most aircraft I saw, were from Lufthansa, but in Frankfurt you have the opportunity spotting a lot of other
airlines. Frankfurt is a spotting paradise ...

At 3.00pm my short trip to Frankfurt came to an end, but the light for making good pictures was not the best.
Boarding for my flight LH 3536 back to Vienna started at 3.40pm at
gate A19. The aircraft was a Boeing 737-330
D-ABXS. Takeoff was, like the whole afternoon, at runway 18. At Aprox. 5.15pm we landed at Vienna at runway 16.



It was worth visiting Frankfurt this day.
