Watching planes in Toulouse

So a sunny day in Toulouse saw a number of interesting flights in and out, that included A380, A330's, ATR's, A320s with Sharklet's and even a flyby of the A350 XWB! Had a lot of fun driving my little Smart Car, on hire from AVIS to a spot on top of a hill that looks down over the main runway, in fact due to runway works - the only runway! Everything that moved had to taxi, fly or "roll past us!

To find the spot basically just come out the terminal and keep turning left. For walkers - its a good 45 minutes in hot sun, so cant recommend it. However contained in the hangers on the walk/rive include several highlights, A380 engine run bays, an ATR finishing plant - where two Jet Connect ATR 72's were hidden away. The original A300-B2, the Original Caravelle and Concorde!

Below a few highlights on the day, please feel free to contact me for more info on the "hill" as well as for any pictures required. To download/buy shots of these and many more planes log onto www.plane-sight-images.photoshelter.com
