Spotting at Paris Orly

Post by doughnut » Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:41 pm

Hi all.
Never been to Orly. What are the spotting and photography oppertunities. Google earth appear to show a small collection of preserved aircraft on the south side, is this publicably accessiable.

Thanks Paul

Said aircraft are part of the local park, which doubles as a spotting area :) Other than driving in and out of the cargo/maint. areas it's all there is. In 2006 there were bloody huge (7/8ft high) fences that means you couldn't see anything from the rest of the perimeter.

Hi
I believe the aircraft in the Athis Mons corner of Orly are a collection.... Musee Delta....http://museedelta.free.fr/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
More than that I can't tell you. But if you have a car go round to the north side of the airport Wissous
Follow Blvd de l'Europe round to 'La Poste' pull into their service road and you can get a reasonable view especially if they are using 06/24.

Hi,

I spent a day at Orly last summer.

It wasn't the busiest of airports, but there was some interesting traffic. I spent my day on the viewing terrace - it is covered by a mesh sheet so you would get wet if it was raining, but similar views could be obtained from the floor below the terrace.

Here are some of my photos:-

The entire Air Caraibes A330 fleet was present:-

along with several Corsair 747s and one A330:-

Openskies are based at Orly:-

There were plenty of aircraft from North Africa as well, including these two Jet4You 737s:-

Regards,

Neil

You may catch this if you're lucky.
