Airport near St.Moritz - Jets- Helicopters - Maybach62
 

Around New Year, I passed the local airport in Samedan (remember the Enzo shooting :wink:) to see what's going on there... in winter it's a quite busy airport with all private jets landing there :mrgreen:
and there's a new shuttle service from the airplane to the edge of the airfield, a Maybach 62 for a 200m ride :lol: :roll:

How to arrive in VIP-mode :wink:
while the jet is taxiing to the place, the Maybach62/MBvan is ready to welcome the passengers

Wow that's one luxurious taxi ;) Are you allowed to walk freely around that airport? Pretty cool pictures from the gates :D

*edit: the weird shape of the headrests of the Maybach suddenly occured to me, looks pretty comfy :)

Some nice Maybach shots here! I like them and what a nice day! But quite sad to see Engadin so snowless :(

cool pictures stmoritzer - i really like the YAK 52, a rare sighting. must be pretty freezy in there in winter...

this is the right way to travel: flying somewhere with your own plane and beeing picked up from a maybach....

or as I've seen recently.... enjoy the day skying and then beeing picked up by a Techart Magnum at the end of the slope ( in my case, the driver/butler would have to sit on the backseats :mrgreen:)


the snow conditions are very good, also the base of the valley is white, but the amount of snowis quite low and it's not that cold :bah:
so far it's great to ski, but more snow is needed.
There is more snow on the field than you see on the pictures, they removed the snow to park the smaller airplanes

Are you planning to stay a WE in the Engadin? you could fly-in with the PC-12 from Paracentro :D
Let me know :wink:

no, but if've seen planespotters walking on the airfield with "visitor" vests. I'm also have the idea of a photoshooting later in winter with more cool jets, more snow and the Maybach... the airport manager agreed in general ... let's see ...

Nice pics StMoritzer! :D

Im a big Helicopter fan!

- The first (smaller) blue Helicopter is a McDonnell Douglas MD520 Notar
- The Yellow one is a AS 355V Eurocopter
- The bigger blue Helicopter is BELL 430 (looks a bit like Airwolf, that was a BELL 222)

Thought you liked to know!

That Maybach and Jet, now thats what I call VIP! :shock: :D

thanks, I did know the Notar tail
and the AS 355V Eurocopter is called "Ecureuil" isn't it ?
but not all details :wink:

/\/\ Could be, wouldn't know StMoritzer?

Ecureuil is french for squirl? Sounds about right :D

Thanks for the pics

Cool man, i can see that u have lots of information! why u dont open a topic to entertain us about helicopters and jets?

Cool :D You just went to the man himself and asked? That's cool :D I'm looking forward to that photoshoot :)

Might do that :wink:

Too many Maybachs around there it seems, great coverage though (despite me hating helicopters)

Thanks :D

too many ??? - it was only one :? :wink:

^ LOL there can't be enough Maybachs IMO :)

what would you tip that taxi driver? :P

to be able live that life style.

Just driving that car would do for me :wink: :P

Thanks stmoritzer, I always love your thematic photo sessions, like this one "Private Choopers/Jet & executive cars". One thing is sure about this pictures gallery, it's very classy ! 8)

Beautiful scenery and obviously beautiful machines, never loved the rims on the 62!
