And 737-400s are not the most sprightly of performers either, if going any distance with a load!

Thanks guys,
in fairness the Futura did take a slightly longer take-off run,usually aircraft are airborne by E6.

Couple of splendid shots there!! That Futura looks like he rotated pretty far along ?
Looks to me like it is at the normal rotation point – I think the taxiway you see in the background is E7, which is quite some way from the end of runway 28.

Thanks Lads,as it happens that flight was on its way to KEF,as FGL9110.I was thinking that this was perhaps on its way over to america for lease,which is quite a common occurence with Futura aircraft,but it seems that this a regualr flight,thanks for clearing that up;)

Futura Gael is a ”seperate” airline from Futura. Their code is FGL.
I flew on their inaugural flight from DUB-DUB lol it was very nice free snacks and drinks etc.
The point of Futura Gael is it has an Irish licence and are allowed to operate charters outside the EU to places like SSH and KEF.

Both excellent shots, Gary. I must say I’m a sucker for retro liveries!
Nice work!

Past, present and Futura…;)
What’s with the ‘Futura Gael’ motto by the way ?

I know i was heading up to the airport thinkin there’s going to be nothing worth a photo,so i was nicely surprised to see it!,i’m blaming lufthansa for not using it everyday to DUB as my reason for the time taken to catch it:p 😀

Great shots,3 years to catch the Lufty A321! Ive seen her in DUB a few times.
I really wanted to catch it aswell so I went to Frankfurt!
