The vast majority of aircraft seen were B- registered, with a small number of long haul flights from Europe - BA, Air France, Lufthansa etc and some regional - Asiana, Korean etc. Airbus and Boeing had complete domination of airliners seen.
Beijing Capital has three parallel runways, aligned roughly north south. I used three locations for the photos:
1. The Mound is in a public park and overlooks the threshold of the middle runway, 36R. This runway is mostly used for departures.
2. Rough ground to the south east of the airport, to photograph aircraft landing on the eastern most runway, 01. Most Air China, Dalian and Shandong aircraft land on this runway.
3. When the wind changed to a southerly I headed to the northwestern perimeter of the airport to see landings and departures on the western most runway, 18R/36L.
