Austria Vienna-Schwechat~Vienna 5-7th Sept 2019

by JLT EGCC74

Our first taste of a major airport for a few days, always nice to get some heavy metal.
We went on to the public car park 3 with the van and viewed the ramp. You can see a fair way down to the right, although the business jet ramp is not viewable from this vantage point. You can also see the approach for runway 34, although some aircraft were also using this for departures. Fortunately FR24 on our mobile phones were helping us with these. However many departures were in front of us on runway 29, so that was good news.
After a while, we went and parked near the business jet ramp and walked along the car park fence to view all that was parked outside. The hangars were all closed up.
As dusk was setting in and we were still wanting to go to two other airfields, we made our move at 1820hrs.
I would return two days later for my departure flight and view proceedings from air side. The weather on that day was very poor, so we had been lucky on the trip, as the only really bad day was departure day, when we were all under cover.
