Durbsboi · May 3rd, 2010, 11:54 AM

Some Panomaric shots I took on Sartuday & Sunday

At 6:10am with Marc Forrest in the corner

Looking at the pedestrian walk to the shaded parking

At the departures level over looking the terminal awaiting the first take off, spot Juzzy

High tailing to the other end to catch a better view

Waiting for Dysan & Ron, Juzzy wasnt impressed since he didnt have his caffeine, lol

Inside the departures terminal

loving the beam lit up in blue

My Apologies for the quality and possible duplication with another thread. These images were taken with my N97.

Orange helper shirts everywhere....But they didn't want my help when I offered to show them the exit at Spur!

SA BOY · May 3rd, 2010, 04:23 PM

why no brekkie at mugg?

Durbsboi · May 3rd, 2010, 04:33 PM

the queue was too long

romanSA · May 3rd, 2010, 04:44 PM

Stunning pics!! Thanks for sharing. I was away this weekend and so couldnt make the early morning meeting. However, I made my way to KSIA at night and captured the first moonrise over KSIA, as well as other stuff! Will be posting pics soon...

SharksBoy · May 3rd, 2010, 05:00 PM

stunning picture! can i save it and showing on my facebook photo Album?

James999 · May 3rd, 2010, 05:12 PM

Very beautiful pics, beautiful Airport, beautful planes, thanks

jimmialli · May 3rd, 2010, 08:57 PM

Thanks for the most awesome photos - KSIA is no doubt Africa's best (and world class too) - looks like Shaka is there with his favourite cow. Looks like Woolworths is a bit late in opening. Is Pat Lambie the 12 year old - or the slightly out of it looking person behind him? Weird that Mugg and Baked Beans still draws a queue?

Ron2K · May 4th, 2010, 08:46 AM

DB, you should try getting some of those pano's showcased as the SSC banner of the day.

My personal pick would be this one:

Durbsboi · May 4th, 2010, 09:11 AM

Thanks Ron, will ask Jan if he can make it the banner for the 8th, which is the date of the official opening.

feel free to use the pics where ever you want, the more exposure Durban & KSIA gets, the better!
