I had the opportunity to transit LTFM a couple of weeks apart, last time was a race to get my connection, this was a little more leisurely but still a LOT of walking. On the way out I had quite a while there, 16:30 - 02:20 and a couple of hours on the way back from 05:20 - 08:00. It is a very difficult place to see everything with many runways and a very strange taxi system that can bring you under the threshold of 35L/R to the end of the A-pier, meaning you can not see these aircraft from the end of B and D piers. There are good vantage points throughout arrivals and depart areas and I had no problems using my bridge camera / mini-bins from security at all. A lot of the more interesting (non-Turkish) stuff parks on the A / B pier so you will have to do a lot of walking, noting the potential to taxi in out of view. A great place to sit and watch is the end of D but then you will not see everything that taxies into A and B. The end of B is good but views are not as panoramic as D with a views between gates / airbridges. I certainly did not see everything, I missed an Uzbek 787 and Air Astana whilst getting something to eat but I am sure there were others. Pier F has an opaque screen between the walkway and the aircraft so none can be seen on the Eastern side of this pier, G is domestic so I could not get down there. The Ethiopian parks right at the end of A pier so a walk is worthwhile but the long line of Turkish planes behind it blocked each other off from being readable.

Highlights on the way out were the 3 Russian SSJ's, it was a pity all the Iranians and the Afghan 737 were re-regs for me (as I collect frames). Coming back there were very few non-Turkish aircraft but the highlight must be the Pakistan Army Citation.

Anyway on with the log, details from Planebase.
