First Corendon of the season (Vlog S02E06)

As always, some charter airlines offer sunny destinations during the spring for those who are tired of the dull weather. Today Corendon started their traffic for this season and Jonas went out to document it.

Other than Corendon themselves there is not that much traffic at Åre Östersund Airport on a Friday morning, except for one SAS flight from Stockholm Arlanda. So, needless to say, not much did happen.
   Finally you can drive all the way to the best positions to shoot from now, since most of the snow has melted away. During the winter it's very common that you have to walk 20-30 minutes in deep snow, but today I didn't have to! So, spring must be here.
   Today runway 12 was in use for both departures and arrivals and first to land was Scandinavian 066, a Boeing 737-600 with registration LN-RCU.


The Boeing 736 might be the most common airliner at this airport, but this registration is slightly more rare.

Shortly after the SAS had landed, Corendon was on final. Todays guest was TC-TJJ, a 737-800 with the Detur color scheme.


TC-TJJ visited us last summer, too, and is a bit more fun to shoot than the ones with the regular Corendon color scheme.



Since this is a rather small airport, there is not that much traffic. Ergo, you have to stand and wait a lot, as you can see in the episode of our Vlog posted below. So there were about an hour of waiting before one of the machines were ready to get going again.


Åre Östersund Airport is located on an island in the middle of the lake Storsjön (directly translated to the big lake). Here is LN-RCU lining up with the lake in the background.


Finally LN-RCU took off again as SAS073 and headed back down to Stockholm Arlanda.


Corendon heading down to much warmer weather in Antalya, Turkey, leaving me behind more or less freezing my pants off. 



And, last but not least, today's episode of our Vlog. It is in Swedish, but of course subtitled in English.

Afternoon at Bromma Airport (Vlog S02E05)

Last week Jonas spent a few days working in Västerås and stopped by Simon in Stockholm on his way home. This resulted in a Sunday afternoon at Bromma Airport. Oh yes, and by the way, we're doing this in English now!

Welcome to our first post in English!
   First of, since some of you might be new readers, we thought we'd introduce us. We are three aviation photographers who have been shooting together since 2006 and started this website in 2009. We do various trip reports, reviews, reportages and vlogs about photography and aviation. We also have a podcast, but for now it's only in Swedish.
   Except for this website you can also follow us at Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. If you want to learn more about us you can check the right sidebar of the website. Now, let's get on with the post!

When Simon and Jonas was in the same town for once they decided to head out to Bromma Airport before Jonas had to drive back up to Östersund. The weather was really nice, but since it was Sunday there was not very much traffic to shoot. However, they made the best of the situation and manage to take som photos and produce a Vlog.

The first challenge of the day was to find a place where they could shoot both landings and take offs for runway 12. After some help from a helpful friend and some map searching on an iPhone, that problem was easily solved. They found a hill with a good view over the runway.


The first arrival of the day was this Cessna.


Shortly after the first airlines was spotted on short final. OO-DWK was flying for Brussels Airlines from Brussels.


OY-CIM lining up runway 12, ready to head back to Copenhagen.


One of the most commons domestic airlines at Bromma is Malmö Aviation. Here is SE-DSV lining up.


SE-MDB, from Visby flying for Golden Air.


Yet another Malmö Aviation, this time SE-DSP. Short final for runway 12.


As already stated, one of the most common airlines at Bromma. Here SE-DSR.


OO-DWK lining up on runway 12 bound for Brussels.


SE-MDB is ready to return to Visby with new passengers.

The previous episodes of our Vlog are all in Swedish, but from now on we will add English subtitles to the new ones. This is the first, so enjoy!

Mavia och fembladigt på plattan

Som vi tidigare förkunnat är trafiken på Åre Östersund Airport väldigt enformig och när det väl dyker upp överraskningar blir vi glada. Idag hade vi en specialchartrad maskin från Malmö Aviation på besök och Jonas var på plats.

I förrgår var det vår i Östersund, men barmarken byttes över en natt ut mot minusgrader och några centimeter snö. Inget ovanligt för årstiden visserligen, men visst längtar man efter lite varmare väder och bättre före (läs: att kunna köra bil ned till lastpallarna vid bana 30, utan att behöva gå i djupsnö i 20 minuter).
   Söndagsmorgonen bjöd på en gråvit snöyra i luften och jag beslöt att inte åka ut till BMI, utan att istället invänta den maskin från Malmö Aviation som chartrats att flyga Göteborg-Östersund tur och retur. På Swedavias hemsida hade flighten anmärkningen Accenture, vilket får mig att anta att den var chartrad av företaget med samma namn.

SE-DSV landade klockan 14:00 och jag fick följa med ut på plattan för att fotografera besöket. Swedavia ställer som alltid upp för oss och hjälper oss få de bilder vi vill ha, tack så mycket!


SE-DSV flög tom upp till Östersund, men fylldes med resenärer för flygningen tillbaka till Göteborg. Man hade kunnat hoppas på att slippa trappan mitt i bilden, men det får jag leva med.

Även Direktflyg stod på plattan med sin Jetstream 32 som just fått en liten makeover. SE-LHE har numer en fembladig propeller tillverkad av tyska MT-propeller Entwicklung.


På plattan stod även SE-LHE, Direktflygs maskin med den nya fembladiga propellern.

Ingen Vlog dyker upp från idag, men misströsta icke! De kommer fortsätta att dyka upp.
