It's over 20 years since I was last at Cologne-Bonn and there had been some big changes, the freight area is huge, aircraft on the East ramp are easy to read from the terminal those on the West are more difficult and we missed an additional four Star Air 767's. There are large numbers of stored WDL F27's we couldn't read off most of them and some on the list are taken from the local spotters forum. Photography is not very good from here though there are some points at the end of the runway, but we didn't have time or the light to explore it.

Cologne-Bonn Saturday 8th September 2007  1700-1800pm

We stayed overnight at the Holiday Inn at Dusseldorf airport, next morning it was cloudy again, there are two main spotting points, a gallery in the terminal, and a purpose built facility at the railway station, views of the main ramp and the threshold are excellent, the building is a big glass building so you can spot from inside if its wet, and photography of all the movements is very easy. We drove down to the bizz area before leaving, again no problems to see everything including most of the aircraft in the hangar.
