München-Riem

1973-03-21 (21 March 1973)

 

An unusual view of the Riem ramp taken with a strong tele lens from the east of the field looking west on the day of the European Champions' Cup quarter finals between Ajax Amsterdam and FC Bayern.

 

The tower and terminal buildings were situated to the right from this perspective, and the widebodies are parked on the outer parking positions.

 

The three DC-10s were KLM’s PH-DTD and THY’s TC-JAV and TC-JAY. These were the early days of widebody traffic at Riem, and three DC-10s at the same time were highly unusual.

 

Also visible are BEA Airtours B707-436 G-APFD and Martinair Holland DC-8-33 PH-DCD, a Britannia B737, Martinair DC-9 and Transavia Caravelle.

What I specially like about this shot are the two persons apparently walking their dog on the airport grounds, inside the fence, in the bottom right corner.
