Amsterdam motorway: The best location for spotting planes
Very few places offer such a mesmerizing view, and this motorway to one of the world’s busiest airports is one of them.
Recently, an account called Aviation on X uploaded a video of a Turkish Airlines Airbus A330-303 soaring over the bridge as the videographer passed underneath.
The Airbus A330 is certainly a spectacular aircraft loved by thousands of passengers.
While we saw the pilot’s perspective video of this amazing aircraft landing recently, this was still a breathtaking sight.
There are very few places outside the airport where you can get such a close look at flights.
Just like this motorway, the beach adjacent to Sint Maarten Airport is another famous airplane spotting location.
A Boeing 747 demonstrated its power there, creating a thrilling experience for onlookers with its jet blast.
