A nice evening scenery as we were leaving Frankfurt.

As the photos suggests I did a trip to Frankfurt recently, not much aviation photography there, but maybe few shots later. There also was a open day at Lapland Air Command on last week and I was there. Midnight Hawks did a fabulous show and Hornet solo performance was good as always. Expect photos on that one as I get them all edited.

Finnair B757-200 from Las Palmas, Finnair A330-300 from Malaga and Arkia B757-300 from Ovda, Israel. Air Baltic B737 was on a normal scheduled flight but all others were diverts because Helsinki airport had to be closed due to the volcanic ash. Out of the photo there’s also a Finnair A330-300 from Bangkok.

It seems that there were lot’s of people getting away for a long weekend.

Sun is low, there’s lot’s of snow to reflect the light etc. Anyway, here are few shots from February and March 2010.

On the first day of 2010 there was stunning light here at Oulu and I was at the airport here too.
