I have only noticed the 'crookedness' since the last couple of months. Before that the approach lights were straight like in this (older?) picture. Anyway, don't believe us, but next time you fly to BCN, think about this thread

Or maybe it is like Dusthog says, a discrepancy between the painted lines and the light. Come to think about it, I've only seen the effect during daylight.

I noticed this too, and i have flown there only in daylight.
Been operating there for a while then stopped, the lights were perfect... then "something" happened and i recall noticing it from the beginning of this year

I am a bit late, but yes... I had noticed it too before reading this post.

In fact, I attach a pic for those of you that don't believe it... I have to say that in real life it is REALLY noticeable.

Talking

But they did take the LEBL ATIS to LEIB or at least LEBL stopped telling you the RVR was more than 2000m when you could see the airport from 40 miles away

Absolutely !! I go there almost every week, and I always take a moment to look at it and think..."That's ridiculous!", haha.

Well done Ovt, good photo. Shows the offset exactly.

I just assumed it was one of those things about BCN we've all come to love

Anyone have a copy of that spoof ATIS doing the rounds a few years ago? I remember it being very funny.
