In the early morning we took the road to Luxembourg under our wheels. After about four hours, and a short break after the border to Luxembourg and France, in the late morning we arrived at the airport Findel. Immediately we went to the Western approach, to the runway 06. |

Luxembourg-Findel In the early afternoon than a rather rare visitor, unexpectedly appeared, an Airbus A300-B4 (ex Japan Airlines). The aircraft was parked for months in southern France, and found himself on a flight to Dresden. There the "N4602" should be converted into a freighter. Due to a technical problem, the machine had to lodge an unplanned stop in Luxembourg, to the delight of those present Spotters! Our first "highlight" was in the box! |

Only shortly
after a Cargolux B747-8F (LX-VCC) was taxi to to take-off. But now the
lighting conditions were extremely bad (back light) and so we decided to
implement one of the advices of our local friends and spotters and headed to
the Cargo Terminal and
Ramp. |
