DUS 17th July 2014

Hey folks,

time for my first pictures.

Since I didn't have a chance to get to the airport I used the chance on the way from my college to my parents house to make a short stop in Düsseldorf.
I was only there for only 2 hours and the main reason was, I wanted to catch at least only Emirates with the World Cup sticker.

My train way running late and I almost missed the first highlight the Iraqi Airways upgrade. An A330-200 instead of the regular A320.
Here just a close up because the A/C is all white except for the titles in the front.

After the Iraqi I changed my position to the top of the relatively new car park P7. There you can not see the action at the Terminal, as you can from visitors platform which is located directly atop Terminal B, but I like the view on the taxing and departing A/C from there better than from the platform.

Next was the Nouvelair A320 departure

In the future we will miss those.

Air Berlin is one of the largest carriers at DUS, so here is another one. This one was given back to the leasing company, which handed the plane to OLT Express, who shortly after went bankrupt, so Air Berlin got the plane back but kept most of the painting

With a small delay the Emirates Trippe 7 started taxing

While EK was holding in the lineup the quiet new ANA Dreamliner service from Tokyo arrived. I like this picture because of the industrial landmarks of the area in the background.

Shortly thereafter it was Emirates turn to leave town.

After that I called it a day, as the light only gets worse from this side of the runways in the afternoon and had what I wanted.

I hope you enjoy the pictures. Critiques would be appreciated.
