Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Aruba (AUA/TNCA) 01-11-2010

Post by phkza »

The first day at Aruba was quite something. Although the weather was starting to get really bad (because of hurricane Thomas near Curaçao) I managed to view some nice action from nearby Renaissance Private Island, which features nice beaches and lots of interesting animals. I could have walked to the very far point of the island to get right under the approach, but I kind of like sideshots more…

Special thanks to member Een echte spotter for the tips by the way.

Because of the weather the single runway 11/29 was used for take-off and landing in both directions, with most aircraft approaching 11, fortunately.

Here’s a small impression.

Hey! You should have told me you had a room in the Renaissance. Could have spared myself the trouble pointing out the spots.... :wink:

Good to see you still had some sunny spells, I couldn't guess how the weather was from where I was in the morning.... When I finally arrived at spot 6 and 7 around 3pm it started raining.... Haven't had a decent moment all week, just the weekend was good....

Lemme guess, the locals have gotten tired of the Insel Air Embraer Emb-110's...

Didn't know where I was staying yet, someone else booked the room for me :) But it was an excellent surprise!
