Munich Trip Report

[niallsaviation]

April 18th I had my first trip of the year .
I decided to go to Munich as it was somewhere Id never been and had great spotting facilities.
Weather report before hand had overcast skies with rain expected so I dressed accordingly

Departed Dublin On Ryanair EI-DLY
On arrival in Munich I was met with sunny skies and the temp during the day reached 28 degrees which caused havoc with heat haze
We parked beside this A350

Great view from the mound over the runways which one was impossible to get photos from due to shooting straight into the sun.

Great variation of types and lots of LH regional jets

Cracking set! Thanks for these!

Were the first 4 or so pictures from the viewing mound? I've heard of a mound there, easy to get to without needing a car IIRC?

Tempted to give that a go, and the ramp tour! I enjoyed the Frankfurt tour and the staff there recommended doing the Munich one as well.

Nice to see a Thai 747 too!
