Updates

17 Nov 2009 - It's around this time of year that thoughts begin to drift towards the bizfest in Zurich in January courtesy of the WEF at Davos and after that it's EBACE at Geneva in May.

This update concentrates solely on Switzerland, bringing you the latest and most up to date information on the observation deck E, special BuchAir airside tours (as well as the regular ones outside of the WEF), the other viewing spots and nearby hotels at Zurich, the viewing spots, hotels and preserved aircraft at Geneva and locations and spotting areas on 23 other Swiss airports should you fancy a road trip. As well as updating the 7 airports already there, I have added a further 18 airports, airfields and heliports. As you read through, you'll realise what a spotter-friendly country Switzerland is, and visiting some of the smaller fields is definitely recommended.

Also included in this update is the ability to download these 25 Swiss airports and their spotting locations and hotels to Google Maps and Google Earth. Have a look at the screenshots to see what a great addition this is, how much easier it will make planning your trips and how it will make the best out of your day's spotting. This is also available on the Spain and France pages, with more countries to come very soon.

Uploaded 5 August 2009 - I'm very happy to announce the latest update to my 'Krayzeekris' site http://AircraftSpotting.co.uk. I am very grateful for all the positive feedback received after the last update and have continued with the current layout. I am also very grateful for all the updates on the new Spain section - they have all been included in this latest update, details below.

But the main part of this update is the France page, to be found by clicking the 'EUROPE' header on the homepage. A complete overhaul of the layout in line with the Spain section and the homepage, and as well as updating the 7 airports already there, I have added a further 48 (!) airports, airfields, museums and info on preserved aircraft where known. This includes exactly what you need to do to get the Charles de Gaulle permit, travelling by public transport between the Paris airports and lots of hotel info to help you decide where to stay and how to get the best deals.

For the next update I'm considering the first of what could be a 3-part update to the UK and Ireland sections, but if I get enough requests for a country/countries I'll consider that instead.

In the meantime, if you need any help or have any questions please feel free to ask, I will help as much as I can and feedback is always welcome, good or bad!

Uploaded 22 March 2009 - This latest update is more about quality than quantity, and I'm very pleased with the new look site. I have totally changed the look of the homepage, I hope this will make it look more appealing, but this particular update concerns Spain. As we approach spring and thoughts of warm weather enter the mind, Spain is always a great place to visit and spot and so I have updated most of the airports already on my site, and added many more, details are below. Where possible I have divided the information on each airport into different sections, making it instantly more user-friendly and easier to read and digest. If you're unsure on who to fly with and where to stay, I can help with that too, it's all on the site and I hope you will agree the changes are definitely for the better. Click on the link to my site, and in the 'Europe' section you'll find 'Spain'. Over the coming months I plan to change every page to the new format, you will of course be notified of further updates to the site.

The website has a new address - AircraftSpotting.co.uk. This is certainly easier to remember and to spell than 'Krayzeekris' but please note, the old address, krayzeekris.110mb.com does still work, and will continue to do so, so you do not need to amend your bookmarks if you do not wish.

In the meantime, if you need any help or have any questions please feel free to ask, I will help as much as I can and feedback is always welcome, good or bad!

The Asia, North America, Oceania and South America pages continue to grow at a fantastic pace – keep those reports coming in, either to me or the groups.  There are not enough logs with information posted, it seems fewer people want to share their experiences these days.  There are still 11 airfields that I need directions for, please have a look at the Directions Required page, I would very much appreciate any help you can give.
