Fokker 100 from Austrian Airlines (OE-LVC) about to land at Nice Cote d'Azur airport in France. Austrian Airlines have now retired the type. The picture was taken from the banks of the Var river next to the beach at Cagnes-sur-Mer, west of Nice. Paddle board surfers in the water, mostly sunny skies and good views over Runways 04L and 04R. French Riviera 2014.
