Spotting "Civil Aviation of Azerbaijan - 80"

In 2018 the Civil Aviation of Azerbaijan celebrates its 80 anniversary. In May 19, 2018 the traditional, fourth spotting had been dedicated to this remarkable date. As usual, it had been carried out in Baku, at the International Airport after Heydar Aliyev under the support of Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL). A group of professional and amateur photographers was provided a chance to shoot the planes during taxu at the flight strip and their flying-off as well as to visit Airbus A340-500.

Our way was to the shooting site passed by the stopping place of Boeing 747

The first we visited Airbus A340-500. In my previous record I showed the how this aircraft looks like inside. This time I just wanted to look in details the gentle lines of wings, body, engines. To feel how great this machine.

This plane is the official carrier of the International Music Festival "Жара'18", which traditionally takes place in summer in Baku. The festival's logo is to the left of the door. 

  

In June 02, 2018 the 80th Anniversary of the Civil Aviation of Azerbaijan is celebrated. All the planes within the State Company "AZAL" has a special logo dedicated to this date. 

After visiting Airbus A340-500 our group moved to the point to shoot the landing and taking off planes. The airport functions in its normal way. IL-76 Silk Way sets its course.
