UNBELIEVABLE CROSSWIND LANDINGS during a STORM with 20 ABORTED LANDINGS - GO AROUND !!
updated
The B767-200 of Skytaxi Poland departed about an hour after the B747 and it` s quite rare to see the short version of the B767 still in operation. The polish airline currently operates two B762 and one B763. Here in Maatricht it operated a cargo charter flight to Poland.
Another interesting guest was the orange Airbus A320 of Jetlines which is based at Maastricht for the european summer season. The canadian A320 helps out Corendon during their summer business. During the summer season dutch airlines ofter lease additional aircrafts from airlines from North America to deal with increased capacity demand during summer.

I also included an Airbus A380 of Lufthansa which did a test flight with a wing wave maneuver at Leipzig. Lufthansa recently reactivated most of their A380` s because the long haul aircrafts are needed due to a delay of the Boeing 777X. Even the Boeing 747-400`s which should have left the Lufthansa fleet already are still operating for the german airline on a daily basis.

My favorite airplanes are the Douglas Dc-8 and IL76TD. Whenever one of these aircrafts show up in my area I drive to the airport and try to film them. I have to admit the Dc8 has become a rare sight since Nasa retired its last Dc-8 last month and there are just three Dc-8 which are currently active. The IL76 on the other hand is an aircraft which can be seen quite ofter if you are in africa or the middle east. Lots of IL76 are based in the UAE and they even provide maintenance for these classic planes at Fujairah and Sharjah.
I also added other Il76TD aircrafts I have filmed within the past years. The Aviaocon Zitotrans Il76 which passed quite low above my head was a great sight aswell. Obviously the sound becomes even more intense if you stand right beneath the plane.

SF currrently operates around 10 flights / week to Liege, including 4 weekly flights with the B747-400 Freighter and about 6 weekly flights with a Boeing 767-300 Freighter. The B767 has to do a fuel stop in Karaganda. On it` s way home to china the B767-300 flies nonstop for 13 hours which is quite remarkable. I assume it` s empty on its way back home and that`s why the fuel consumption is much lower.
I also filmed some other planes that day at Liege, including a few B747` s of ASL Airlines and Challenge Cargo. Both airlines are based at the belgian airport and they each operate a fleet which consists of 5 B747`s.

I also filmed some other 747` s, including a B747-400 of Aerotrans Cargo and a National B747-400 Freighter. As you can see summer is about to start and the heat haze season is already beginning. The image isn` t as clear as it usually is and that` s caused by the warm weather. On the other side we finally don` t have to wear thick clothes anymore while watching and filming planes at the airport.

I also filmed an AN12 this month at Geilenkirchen Airport. The airport is known for being the homebase of the B707 Awacs aircraft and it` s always a pleasure to visit this unique airport. Watching a B707 with classic engines in 2024 is inredible. The AN12 operates a cargo charter flight from greece and departed empty to Liege in Belgium.
The A380 of Emirates is back on the noon rotation and it` s great to see the massive whale again during daylight. During the entire winter season the A380 operated in the darkness and I wasn` t able to get any new footage of the heavy plane.

After the A380 I changed my position to film the departure of the A380. Currently we have typical "April-weather" here in europe which means that the weather situation basicly changes every 15 minutes. I noticed blue sky was approaching and the A380 departing during beautiful light conditions.
Also note the yellow B757-300 of Condor arriving with some crosswinds on runway 23L. You can see that the crew was adding some thrust to deal with the crosswinds. Black smoke came out of the right engine every once in a while. I also filmed some shaky crosswind landings afterwards, especially of the Air Baltic A220.
Thanks for watching, new videos every tuesday and friday.
Airport: Düsseldorf (DUS/EDDL)
I also included some other planes I filmed at Cologne, including a former Thai Cargo B747-400 Freighter. The new operator is Aero Trans Cargo but the airline still hasn` t repainted the aircraft yet and that` s why you can see the livery of the previous operator on the plane.
Thanks for watching, new videos every tuesday and friday.
Airport: Cologne (CGN/EDDK)
I also included other special liveries in this video, including the Airbus Beluga which I also filmed at Hamburg Finkenwerder. The unique looking aircraft usually flies between airbus factories in europe to transport new airplane parts to the places where they have to be. The aircraft` s nickname "Beluga Whale" has been painted on the belly of the aircraft and the livery now resembles a beluga whale.
Also note the stunning looking Boeing 747 of National Airlines which has a red B747 in its fleet to celebrate the anniversary of the airline. National exists since 25 years and they started operating with a fleet of Doulgas Dc-8`s. I also managed to take pictures of their DC-8s at Liege and Luxemburg back in the days but sadly I haven` t started making videos back then.

National currently operates a fleet of multiple B747-400 freighters, a single A330-200 and a Boeing 757-200. They mainly operate cargo charters around the entire world and since I am a hugh B747 fan I always enjoy seeing their great painted B747 aircrafts in front of my camera.
I also added some other special planes which visited Liege, including some B747` s from Kalitta which operated a few charter flights. On their way back home from Poland Kalitta used Liege as a crew base for a while. Nowadays we don` t see them that often anymore and they also stopped operating out of Amsterdam. As far as I know the only european destination they operate to on a regular basis shoudl be Leipzig in germany.

Another surprising visitor was the CH47 Chinook helicopter which visited Düsseldorf on a training flight. Lately we have seen a few of these helicopters at DUS and they usually show up unexpected. I was at the airport to film an Airbus A340-300 of Lufthansa when I suddenly noticed these massive helicopters on the horizon. They didn` t even approach like normal helicopters. They used the normal approach path of airplanes which were gliding down the ILS of runway 23R. After about 15 minutes on the ground the CH47 helicopters departed back home to the netherlands.

I also ejoyed the size comparison between the Ilyushin and the Boeing 747-400 Freighter while it was taxing to its parking position. Maastricht used to be a great place it you are interested in Boeing 747` s. There was a time in 2021/2022 when we had up to 7 B747` s on a daily basis at the airport. Currently only Rom Cargo is still flying to MST with B747-400 aircrafts. Geo Sky used to operate three weekly flights with the B/47-200 Classic but the airport banned the aircraft due to new noise regulations.
I always enjoy filming at Maastricht because you are quite close to the action. they only have a single runway and you can just stand right nex to the runway and film heavy planes.

I also filmed some other planes arriving at Schiphol during that day. Due to the changing weather, the runway was quite wet sometimes and the reverse of the aircrafts sometimes caused nice effects while the water on the ground was thrown around. The Boeing 787 of Kenya did a wonderful crosswind landing right in front of my camera and the bright beacon light beneath the B787 looked quite spectacular while it almost disappeared in the water fog.
Also the crew of the Airbus A380 did a fantastic job that day. They managed to land the massive whale without any issues during these stormy weather conditions at Amsterdam that day. Always a pleasure to watch heavy planes approaching Schiphol during stormy weather conditions.

I didn` t show up at the airport for the B707. An AN12 was expected to arrive from Athen and that` s why I was there. You can the see the AN12 right after the B707 clip. I always wanted to film this classic propeller plane from the "behind - the runway" - perspective and I finally did it. It was quite a smoker - parade last week in geilenkirchen. Seeing an AN12 and a B707 from the 1960`s at the same airport with a few minutes in 2024 is quite crazy. I always enjoy filming at this airport mainly because I enjoy the classic sound of the classic B707`s.

The B727 wasn` t the only highlight that month. I also visited Liege Airport to film a B747-200 classic of Geo Sky and an AN124 of ADB. The classic B747 did some regular flights to Liege but it looks like the day when I filmed it was the last time it visited Liege. I hope it` s coming back next winter. It` s a great pleasure to see a classic Jumbo Jet in 2024 and there are just about 10 of them still flying in the world. Geo Sky is the only operator which frequently uses them on flights to europe.
Also check out the B747-400 Freighter of FlyMeta which used almost the entire runway at Liege for another cargo run to Africa. The aircraft is currently operating for Network Cargo and it can be seen quite often at Liege.

Currently Schiphol is still a great place if you are interested in Boeing 747`s. There are still various operators like Singapore, Atlas Air, Air China Cargo, China Airlines and many more. Last year I was able to film the beautiful red B747 of National Airlines which showed up at Amsterdam after a shorts flight from Poland. We were quite lucky with the runway because it was expected to arrive on the center runway but they changed it last second and the 50 planespotters which were waiting for the Jumbo Jet at the Polderbaan were quite happy.
Especially during the evening light conditions it` s a pleasure to film planes at Amsterdam Schiphol. The spotting place at the Polderbaan is probably the best planespotting place in europe.

Another highlight is the Airbus Beluga which recently became availabe for charter companies. Normally this special built planes only fly between the airbus factory to bring new Airbus parts to the places where they have to be. This week an Airbus Beluga brought a satelite from Toulouse to the USA and to get there they had to do three fuel stops. Obviously the Beluga doesn` t have the best fuel consumption especially when compared to other modern aircrafts.
I also included some Boeing 747` s I filmed at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Liege. The B747 is still one of my favorite aircrafts and I always enjoy watching these massive planes rotate in front of my camera lense. Liege is the place to be if you are interested in B747` s. I assume the Jumbo Traffic in Liege will even rise in the near future because there are rumours that Amsterdam Schiphol won` t accept B747` s anymore from 2026.

It was a splendid day at Liege, especially because the wonderful Boeing 747-200 Classic of GeoSky also showed up while I was there to film. Sadly it was the last flight of the classic Geo Sky Jumbo until today and I am not sure if they will return. I was hoping they would just do a break due to low demand during chinese new year, but they didn` t return yet even after the chinese new year.

Airport: Düsseldorf Weeze (NRN/EDLV)
Thanks for watching, new videos every tuesday and friday.
I filmed the first clip in this video at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport during a stormy day. The A380 had to abort the landing due to wind gusts up to 55 knots. The second approach was perfect and no wind gust interrupted the landing. The go around procedure at Schiphol is quite interesting because the aircrafts have to turn right immediatly to avoid any issues with other aircrafts at Schiphol which arrive or depart on one of the six runways at the dutch airport.
Of cours I didn` t film just Emirates. I also managed to film All Nippons A380` s and several other A380 airlines, including Lufthansa, Thai, Singapore and so on.

Weeze is mainly know for the Parookaville Festival which takes place next to the airport. The only airline which has a small base at the airport is Ryanair. Not the Boeing 737Max at the beginning of the video. I thought it would be a nice contrast between the B737Max and the classic B727-200. Recently Air Arabia and Sky Express (Greece) also started flight to Weeze during the summer season.

I also spend some time at Liege Airport in belgium. Luckily we were able to film some planes in the snow last month. It` s quite rare that we get snow and after the ground was white I immediatly drove to Liege. The traffic was good aswell and I was quite happy with the result. The highlight was the Boeing 747-8F of Hongyuan Cargo which sporadicly visits Liege since a few weeks. Not sure if they only used Liege for a short time or if they stay at the airport permanently.
Also note the unusual filming location at Düsseldorf Airport. Once a year we are able to visit the classic visitor terace which is normally closed for the public since 10 years. Due to a fair they opened it and we were able to film at the terace for a few hours.

While filming on the visitor terace I was able to film the new Airbus A330 Neo of Condor in the new livery. Currently Condor operates 6 flights a week to various destinations in the caribean. The new livery looks quite unique and interesting and I am always happy to see it. At first I wasn` t a big fan of it but if you see it in person you get used to it quite fast.
Also not the great looking Airbus A320 of Edelweiss which currently operates flights for Swiss Airways. Edelweiss is a partner company of Swiss which mainly handles the tourism traffic in switzerland. Always nice to see these red nosed planes in Düsseldorf.

After a while the Air China Cargo B777 returned to the airport and landed on runway 22L. About four hours earlier the B777 had to be diverted to Amsterdam due to dense fog at Liege Airport. It was quite a ride for the crew of this aircraft today although I assume they switched the flight crews at Amsterdam.
I also filmed a few other planes which arrived at Liege during these lovely snow conditions. The Qatar B777 was the first aircraft which arrived at LGG after sunrise that day and it` s just mesmerizing to see the B777 arriving during perfect light conditions in the snow right after sunrise.

I also included other classic planes I filmed within the last 13 years. I started filming in 2011 and one of the first planes I filmed was the Vickers VC-10 whcih departed at Brize Norton. The smoke trail was crazy and it was mesmerizing to watch and hear this classic bird depart. I was quite happy that I filmed one of the last fligts of a VC10 in the UK.

The reason why I drove to Liege that day was the Boeing 747 Classic from GeoSky but sadly the B747-200 was the first aircraft to depart at Liege after I arrived. When I arrived the freezing fog was very dense and I wasn` t even able to see the runway. I have never seen conditions like that before, because the sky above me was completly blue and the sun was shining but the freezing fog was still there and I couldn`t see the runway. If you skip to the Geo Sky B747 footage you can see what I am writing about. Crazy situation!

During daylight I was able to film the oldest Boeing 767-300 of Condor which performed a crosswind landing on runway 23L at Düsseldorf. The aircraft was delivered new to Condor in 1993 and operates for the german airline ever since. It should leave the fleet within the next two months because Condor will replace all their B767-300`s with modern Airbus A330Neos.

It` s quite impressive to see these massive B747` s blasting away all the snow which was peacefully lying behind and next to the runway. The snow clouds behind the aircrafts give the entire scenery a dramatic effect and that` s what I enjoy most about filming during these winterly conditions.
A nice unusual visitor this day was the Boeing 747-400 Freighter of Atlas Air which arrived from Indianapolis in the USA. I assume it was operating a flight for MSC Cargo which has its european base in Liege and they only use flight crews of Atlas Air to operate their fleet of Boeing 777 Freigheters.

The weather in January was quite spectacular. Usually we don` t get lots of snow here in western europe but we finally were lucky. I am a hugh fan of snow and I always enjoy filming during these weather conditions. I headed to Liege immediatly after I realized the snow was covered with snow. Sadly I had some issues with fog at first and wasn` t able to see the runway but soon the weather cleared up and we had perfect conditions to film at Liege.

By my surprise an Eurofighter suddenly showed up and performed a touch and go. I was just setting up my camera to set the focus for the KC135 which arrived 5 minutes later and suddenly I noticed something moving on my camera screen. I immediatly started recording and the Eurofighter Typhoon performed a great looking touch and go right in front of me.
I also waited for the An12 of Cavok Air which arrived from turkey and departed to Liege. Although it arrived after sunset I still think the video of the An12 looks kinda interesting. The atmosphere during blue hour after something is always something special and the sound of the classic propeller plane is amazing aswell.

The second B747 of Magma Cargo also created a similar snowstorm while departing to africa. Magma is a company which is based in Liege, Belgium. They mainly operate flights to the USA and Africa. In the USA Greenville is one of their frequent destinations because they ofter operate cargo flights for BMW. All aircrafts from Magma are leased from Air Atlanta Icelandic. Recently a B747-400 left the fleet after a hard landing incident in the USA and it was replaced by another B747 which previously flew for JetOneX.

25 heavy takeoffs and landings at Liege, one of the biggest european cargo airports. We jump right into this video with a Challenge Cargo Boeing 747-400 Freighter which is a frequent visitor at the airport. Challenge operates a fleet of four B747` s and they frequently fly to destinations in Asia and the USA. Recently they also added three Boeing 767-300 Freighters to their fleet and one of them is already flying. It` s also a part of this video. The formter Air Canada Rouge Boeing 767 is great addition to the fleet of Challenge Cargo.
Also note the Boeing 767 of SF Airlines. It was the first time I filmed this aircraft at Liege. They started operating flights to the belgian airports in autumn. The B767 flights are an addition to their regular B747 flights. Nice to see this aircraft in the belgian skies now.

I also included other great aviation highlights including the stunning red Boeing 747 of National Airlines. They painted a B747 Jumbo Jet in this livery to celebrate 25 years of existence. Actually the livery belonged to the Supertanker which used to be a firefighting plane. National bought the plane, removed the equipment and started using the airplane as a normal cargo plane. They kept the livery and added something new to it.

22 heavy take offs and landings at the biggest cargo airport in Europe. At Liege you can see several Boeing 747` s in action and it` s one of my favorite airport. Right at the start at 00:00 you can see a Boeing 747-400 of Atlas Air which recently moved some Amsterdam flights to Liege Airport. Another company which moved some flights to Liege during the christmas rush was Air China Cargo which is also visible in this video.
Also check out the rather new A330-200 Freighter of Hongyuan Cargo at 09:32 which is currently operated by Air Belgium Airlines. They mainly operate cargo flights between Asia and Europe. They also have three B747-8F in their fleet.

Another interesting highlight at Düsseldorf was the Boeing 747-400 Freighter of Air China Cargo which got diverted from Amsterdam due to stron crosswinds. After going around twice at Amsterdam the pilots decided to divert to Düsseldorf. The Air china B747 wasn` t the only highlight. A Boeing 757 of Jet2Holidays arrived at Düsseldorf with some soccer fans, if I remember corretly for the Newcastle United game against BVB. The B757`s of Jet2 will leave the fleet quite soon that` s why I was happy to film one of them at my homeairport.
Also note the special painted Boeing 787 Dreamliner of Etihad Airways which arrived at Düsseldorf on the morning rotation. The airplane wears a special Man City livery to celebrate the partnership between Etihad and Mancity. As far as I know it was the first time the aircraft visited Düsseldorf.

Happy new year to all of you! I wanted to start of the year with a video from my favorite airport, which is Liege in Belgium. Hongyuan started working with Air Belgium about a year ago and they recently started flying out of Liege. The shown aircraft is a B747-8F and it` s quite hard for companies to finde a B747-8 as a used plane. Don` t know why but Saudia decided to get rid of their modern Jumbo Jets and Air Belgium baught them. They also added a third B747 to their fleet and the 3rd aircraft used to fly for Cargologic.
The second highlight of this video is the Boeing 747-400 of Network Aviation which rotated very fast. They aircraft was empty and they had to bring to Frankfurt Hahn for maintenance works. That` s why the aircraft climbed out of Liege like a rocket. Very unusual to see because usually they depart fully loaded to africa and they need almost the entire runway for its takeoff run.
