Departed runway 24.

Built by Focke-Wulf in Bremen in 1944, this aircraft, belonging to 16./JG 3 at Gütersloh, was shot down by P-47s at Pulheim near Cologne on 17 December 1944. The pilot, Lt Rolf Lahne, was probably killed, but no human remains were found when the wreck of his Fw 190A-8/R2 was unearthed. It has been restored using original and new Flugwerk parts, including a BMW 801S-1 engine belonging to a Fw 190A-9.

Operated by the aviation subsidiary of Austrian gun maker Glock.

Although the MiG-17PF carried radar, the all-weather fighter couldn't really work on its own and was operated under strict ground control.

In the Luftwaffenmuseum, a group of Luftwaffe recruits is taught about the bombing of Rotterdam by Heinkel He 111s of KG 54 in May 1940. This machine was on temporary display in the Dutch city in 2015. It is actually a 1951 CASA 2.111, B.2H-109, later to B.2I-117 when re-engined with RR Merlins. Used for the film 'Battle of Britain' in the late 1960s. To the former German air force museum at Uetersen in 1969; moved to Gatow in 1995. The markings are of a KG 55 aircraft.

The last Tupolev 154 ever built, delivered in Feb 2013, coming in to land on rwy 27. On board were witnesses from Douma in Syria, who were on their way to an international press conference for the OPCW (Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) in The Hague, about an alleged chemical attack on their city. The conference was organised by Russia, hence this Russian Air Force aircraft, with the 223 LO badge clearly visible. A very unusual aircraft type for Schiphol these days!

Lufthansa's lovely 1960s scheme looks wonderful, even on a modern and boring A321.
