I’m considering taking a trip across to EMA. Maybe combine it with a stroll round the Motor Racing museum at Donington. Not having been to EMA for about 15 years other than to the enthusiasts fair, what am I likely to see?
On Saturday, having no great interest in the FA Cup Final I plan to go the Midland Air Museum at Coventry and maybe a drive round to the airport. Again, anybody got any idea what I’m likely to see?

EMA do a list on their website which you could check tomorrow morning www.eastmidlandsairport.com
Apart from a large amount of bmibaby you will probably see:
A few DHL 727 / 757 parked up for the day
easyjet / Go – If the same as Tuesday they’ll both be in full Go colours, were G-ODUS and G-IGOF
easyjet swiss registered 737 at about 1500.
And possibly a few charters, based for the summer:
BY 1x 763 / 1x 757
TCX 1x A320
MYT – Thought they were flying 1 A320 and 1 A321 but on Tuesday there were two A321’s (G-DHJH and G-EFPA) plus a Danish registered all white A320 (Premiair aircraft)
AMM – 1x A321
I think there are a few interesting charters on Saturday but can’t remember which or what times except a Balkan Holidays TU-154 that goes out early.
Also may be a Kalitta 747 but they don’t seem to operate everyday so maybe not!
For best spot, if you head around from Donington Park to Castle Donington and go past the aeropark you can turn right just after the Nags Head pub and follow up to the top near the crash gates.
I may head up myself tomorrow so if you see a red fiesta with a “I’d rather be flying” sticker in the back you know its me!
