Spring Fever at LOWW Vienna International Airport

[flightdeck]

I hope, this topic is not out of the rule - although today is "Fool's Day" :-)

This morning I decided to drive to the Vienna International Airport to get some shots from the morning and midday rush!
Although the light was not ideal, coming more and more from the opposite, I thought I would like to share these pics with you from the Heart of Europe - and yes, it's spring here:

Rene,

Thanks for those pictures. I love seeing any type aircraft in action.

Ditto on the photos. I love flying into Vienna. I probably have as many hours flying there as I do into De Gaulle and Joseph Strauss.

The SID's and STAR's are interesting without being difficult, although FS9 doesn't have all of the waypoints on all of the procedures so I have to wing it some with the DME.

Great airport when using Fly Tampa scenery.

Thanks for the pictures, there are great quality, Nice to see AerLingus in there too.
