KLRspotter: januari 2014

Before the break was over it was obvious with a little trip to Arlanda. So the day that I was going back to Västerås I wake up early to get the only hours of sun. I was out at Arlanda by nine o’clock and it was no visibility at all. I get off the bus at Halmsjön and started to walk to runway 08. It took a while but after 6 departures the fog started to disappear. After some beautiful takeoffs they changed the runway to 19L. But where is the snow? No snow and its January!!

The year 2013 was a quit fast year. I didn’t have the time to spott as I taught. It was the year a number of people asked me for my photos, especially Kalmar airport where I spent several days to shoot the ramp staffs work.
For the first time in my life I saw AF1 at Arlanda witch was one of the coolest things in my life.
But it was one of the best spottingyears I’ve ever had.

Here is the most important pictures from Arlanda according to me.
