Customer Reviews

Want to learn about bizjet features? This is not your book!
I got quite disappointed checking through this book: created by 2 hobbiest photographers (aircraft engineers working in Zurich airport), the book is nothing else but a photo album of bizjets, parking (or landing) in Zurich Kloten airport. Absolutely no technical information, no real model history, practically nothing about the features of the planes, except for some registry info. Even as a photo album, it is somewhat boring: no interiors (which is the really interesting part of a bizjet), photos only show the aircraft from the outside and mostly as parked on the ground. The very few pictures that show aircraft in the air, are all about planes final approaching or landing: no take-offs and no cruising in the air at all!

To say something positive, the album is comprehensive enough to show photos of different versions of a wide range of bizjet makes and models, even including Russian-built aircraft. However, just viewed from the outside, what is the difference between a commercial Boeing-727 and a VIP version of B727 (commercial Tupoljev-134 or VIP version Tu-134, etc.)? Practically nothing.

These are the reasons why myself, as a collector of technical books on aircrafts, feel like I've thrown away the price of this book through the window! Unless you're a registry-maniac, or your special hobby is to view parking airplanes from the outside, don't buy this album !
