HIGHLIGHTS 07APR18 ft. Thai Airways B747-400 & more | Zurich Airport Plane Spotting in 4K

Zurich Airport, 07th of April 2018, 05:50AM. It was still dark when I've arrived at the spotting location "Heligrill" located to the West of the airport. It's a 10ft tall hill, especially built to observe aircraft movements. The airport is closed until 06:00AM, so it is remarkably calm, but I've always enjoyed the early morning atmosphere there. When I've reached the top platform of the hill I recognized the orange-red layer above the horizon - the sun is about to rise. And along with the first aircraft movements of the day, the fireball rises right next to the control tower. One negative site: The lighting is utter crap from now on. But the schedule promises a very successful day, a day which has just started.
Several special aircraft have visited Zurich during this beautiful spring day. Air Arabia Egypt showed up with an A320, Etihad sent a Dreamliner with special stickers and Thai Airways marked the highlight with the queen of the sky, the Boeing 747 in Star alliance livery. I had preferred the standard colors, but well, I don't want to complain. Unfortunately I've missed another special, an A350 of Latam operated by Qatar Airways. It still cheeses me off, but maybe I'll get a second chance. The video comes along with some standard traffic which I've enjoyed as well, I hope you do so too.
