Varsovia - F. Chopin (WAW / EPWA)

Few pictures taken recently (in December) at my home airport (links to images uploaded to jp.net):

73-1682 VC-9C US Air Force - although I'm not a fan of military planes, I have to admit that I really liked that shot

SP-LLD Boeing 737-400 LOT Polish Airlines - back in full LOT livery, previously operated as LOT/Centralwings hybrid

TF-BBG Boeing 737-300F Bluebird Cargo - replacement for usual B757 of DHL

SP-LLF Boeing 737-400 Centralwings - former LCC now operates charter flights only

SP-LLA Boeing 737-400 Nayzak Air Transport - SP-LLF's sistership was about to be leased to the Nayzak of Lybia, but due to financial matters the aircraft has never been delivered to the new operator

EC-ELT BAe 146-200QT Pan Lineas Aereas (TNT) - Spanish carrier promotes new slogan of TNT

Hope you enjoyed viewing them

Hi Thomas,

Thanks a lot! Very nice photos. I didn't know USAF was using the DC-9s. I thought they all switched to the 737s

Exotic stuff TK! Keep them coming!

Warsaw was the airport were I landed after my first flight ever on my way to Oslo, Norway with LOT, so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

cheers!

Nice job Tomasz !
I hope that one day I will visit your country. Must be interesting ....you built there Antonov -2 `s , my favorite plane !

Really the USA is in crisis ! DC-9 for the government ? Anyway is a beautiful livery on a beautiful plane.

Will do my best. It's a funny thing as the normal stuff for Polish spotters is exotic in Romania, while normal airplanes at Romanian airports are rare visitors in Poland

Thanks Octavian.
The An-2 are no longer in production I'm afraid. Nevertheless quite a few of them still fly around. Even few months ago some guys from Nowy Sącz (town in close to Tatra mountains) came up with an idea to operate commercial flights with An-2. Unfortunately they didn't get permission from the CAA...

Cheers

Actually I live in Vancouver, Canada... so everything I see on this forum is quite exotic for me regardless if it is coming from Poland or Romania.

Cheers!

It is a sad thing ,Tomasz ! An-2 `s were very good planes and they were permited to fly as much as it was needed and now they are considered no longer safe !

This was a nice surprise on 1st March:

260 Boeing 707-3J6B Israel Air Force

I was lucky with this shot, as the 707 taxied just a few meters from the CRJ200 of Austrian Arrows I was about to board.

Very lucky shot Tomasz and a nice one also. You don't get to see a lot of this beautifull plane these days.

That's true Vali. Fortunately for EPWA spotters this one visits our home airport quite frequently - ca. every two weeks.

Nice Work Tomasz!!


Always great to see some photos in Poland.

I was wondering if LOT's retired fleet of the 767-200ER is still grounded in Warsaw???


What routes did these 767s do?

Warsaw and Krakow- to Chicago, New York, Toronto????


Thanks for your help!

Actually both B767-200s left the fleet last November and now are in service with Mexicana. Longhaul flights are operated with five B767-300s (well, four at the moment since SP-LPF is scheduled for a major maintenance check). The sixth 767-300 will be probably leased for the summer season in June.

Indeed, the 767-200s in last years were utilised on transatlantic flights (WAW, KRK & RZE to ORD, JFK, EWR & YYZ), but also on some services to TLV. In mid-90ties they used to fly also to PEK, BKK and DEL.

The AN-30 came from Ukraine (it has title "Zbroyni sily Ukrainy" in cyrylic). The French AF has hidden the "27" very well. I guess I've seen it either on the wing or along with small titles under the tail.

There is nice to see the airport from Warsaw, I've never been there yet.
Nice photos ! The most interesting photos are: Boeing 707 and AN30

Witam Tomasz, i myślę że podoba cię ten forum.
Masz świetnie zdjęć. Najbardziej podoba mi się Boeinga 707 z Israeli Air Force, ale AN30 jest też bardzo ciekawy.

Cześć Manu_21skw!

I never expect to read Polish at this forum Please let me stick to English, so our Romanian friends could understand the thread (unfortunately I don't speak Romanian at all).

Thanks for admiring my photos! If you need some info about spotting in Poland don't hesitate to send me private message.

Thanks for that Tomasz And btw, I love the Air India livery.Looks good on the 747.

Hi TK!
I visit Warsaw airport 3 years ago, changing a flight from Bucharest to Szcezin and return to Bucharest. I remember that the airport was in expansion, I hope I don`t confused it because in 2006 I`ve travel a lot.

I had a few hours betwen flights(on my return) and a very good friend of me (Hi!!! Jolanta) take me in a very speedy tour of Warsaw. Very nice city, I hope I will have the chance to visit again for a longer time. I was lucky to visit Kultur Palace in the day before a Miss Contest, so the parking area was outstending . The view from the top of of the building is amazing. I`ve also seen the old area of the city, the mermaid statue in the middle of the plaza was great. My regret is that I don`t have the chance to taste some polish food, but the time was to short, I`ve almost missed the return flight to Bucharest.

From Bucharest to Warsaw I fly with a Boeing and to Szcezin witn an ATR 42.
From Szcezin to Warsaw I fly with an Embraer 135/145. I catch a very nice place in the middle of the plane near the emergency exit, a lot of space for my legs . From Warsaw to Bucharest I fly with a Boeing.

Sorry about my english.
