Back in June I spent a day at Amsterdam - here are some photos.
A Cargolux 747 paid a brief visit:-

I was really pleased to see PR-GGZ arrive, presumably for summer lease to Transavia:-

Belavia 737s have been around for a few years now, so it was good to see one of their new Embraers:-

Several Chinese aircraft were around - China Southern's 777 freighter B-2072 was one of the most interesting:-

Schiphol has long been noted for freight movements, and I was treated to two Nippon Cargo 747-8s:-

An Air France A320 not just with sharklets, but also celebrating the airline's 80th anniversary:-

There was never long to wait before another KLM 747 either arrived or departed:-

The many 747 movements were, however, eclipsed by the somewhat fewer MD-11 flights, which generated a lot of interest on the viewing deck. None more so than the arrival of PH-KCE which had been to the Glize Rijen airshow. A fleet of cars from the airport's operations department escorted it from the runway to its parking bay where the fire service were waiting with a water arch welcome - the first time I have seen this in over 30 years of spotting:-
