Zürich 21-01-2015

Hello everybody!

It was once again time to visit cold Switzerland for the WEF. Here are some impressions of my first day, which I spent near the treshold of runway 14. I must say however, it wasn't as busy as last year and not so much highlights so far has crossed my lense. Ah well, you can't have everything!

1. The WEF this year was nevertheless a bizzjet gathering of all sizes. Here's a rather white Global Express from Germany:

2. Swedish Citation:

3. As usual loads of American bizzers, like this Gulf V:

4. It has escaped me many times, but finally I captured the Government of Serbia Falcon 50:

The WEF in Davos is expecting 1700 private jets, and one of the topics they are discussing is climate change...

Jon Stewart had fun with it last night. http://thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/r4...insurance-vice
