[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
An MD11 from VARIG approaching Frankfurt Airport. This picture is taken from a very nice and typical "planespotter"-location. It is easy to reach: Coming from the big freeway-crossing A3/A5 "Frankfurter Kreuz" - take the A5 south towards Darmstadt. One of the first exits is "Zeppelinheim". Take it and turn left towards Zeppelinheim. Follow the sign "Recreational Area" until its closed for vehicles. Walk left towards the airport and you will cross a pedestrian bridge across the freeway and find yourself directly at the fence of the airport. You can walk direcly under the flightpath for incoming Machines from the east, which will be the most common incoming path (most times wind from the west). If you are lucky you will have blue sky and some nice clouds as background.

A plane spotting fan will certainly appreciate this shot a lot, as it is very professional, IMO, technically perfect, up to the pilot in white shirt and the light reflection on the intake of the reactors. I can understand you wanted to share this very good shot, Werner. Very realistic. Just regret we don't have the sound also!

This is one good photo.
The contrast and sharpness is superb.
Colours are very good too.

It is not easy to take good shots while plane is moving fast, well unless you are a good photographer with good skills, and a fast cam.
