MOTIVATION AND BACKGROUND

Thanks to the increased volume of traffic at the Cluj International Airport, as well as the diversification of the aircraft that are present in this location, plane spotting activities has intensified. Private people have flocked to the proximity of the Cluj International Airport (CLJ) mainly to spot the bigger, thus more impressive WizzAir planes, name the famous Airbus A320s. This activity has gained significant momentum.

Since February 2011 the first activities of the Hungarian Plane Spotting Society of Cluj/Kolozsvár/Klausenburg were organized at the Cluj International Airport. Előd IMREH-RÁCZ, Norbert SZILVESZTER and Olivér KISS have started to regularly see and photograph airplanes the Cluj International Aiport.

At the first birthday (Spring 2012) of our un-institutionalized plane spotting activities the Hungarian Plane Spotting Society of Cluj/Kolozsvár/Klausenburg was formed. We strongly thing that even after 100 years, flying is very special, and the people who effectively realize it are amazing. We admire all of them.

These are why the Hungarian Plane Spotting Society of Cluj/Kolozsvár/Klausenburg (HPSSC) decided to organize the First Plane Spotting Days in Cluj/Kolozsvár/Klausenburg between March 21-23, 2012. This is the third event – the second took place in November 2012.

PHOTOS, VIDEOS – Just like good old friends meeting – S E C O N D Plane Spotting Days in Cluj/Kolozsvár/Klausenburg

Chat

Friendly atmosphere, new and nice people was well as an extended format – besides the former CLJ base captain, our dear friend Jason Cotton and other WizzAir pilots, air traffic controllers honored our invitation to take part in the S E C O N D Plane Spotting Days in Cluj-Napoca/Kolozsvár/Klausenburg, organized by the Hungarian Plane Spotters’ Club (HPSC).

Unfortunately we couldn’t ask any tips and tricks from the members of the cabin crew – none of them showed up.

On Monday it was probably one of those few occasions when captains and first officers could meet the air traffic controllers. As some found out that just in front of them there are people who are usually or only at the other side of the airwaves, questions poured – from on side and the other, too.

Olivier, I have a question…

Veterans, as well as newbie’s were present – referring to the time spent in Cluj/Kolozsvár/Klausenburg. Alexandra, the air traffic controller attracted the most attention – professional, feminine and smiling.

Today WizzAir pilot Vad Tibor and members of the (HPSC) as well as two dedicated youngsters with their father went to The Fence and did some plane spotting. Thanks to Lóri Light was served: Csaba and György missed the occasion.

They can catch up with this special and unique liquid on Wednesday evening during the afterparty at Lori’s…
