These photographs show the Zeppelin NT during its passenger flight operations from a flower show in Ostfildern.
The distant photographs were taken from the observation deck of the TV tower in Stuttgart. The three photographs that show the flower show area were taken from a distance of 7 km using a 400 mm lens (200 mm lens and 2x converter). This was a really clear day with great visibility. If you look closely at these photographs you see an aircraft coming in for landing at Stuttgart airport. Though it looks like a close encounter the Zeppelin landing site was around 2 km north east of the airport.
The rest of the photographs give an impression of the passenger operations.
