Went up to BHX yesterday for the day with my new picture card letting me take a hell of a lot more photos than i could before in higher quality.
Was a normal day but was a bit dissapointed cause i had to leave which meant i missed the Mahan Air A310 which i have yet to take a pic of.
Anyway here are the first few……….enjoy! 😀

8. CO B752, the second daily flight CO33
9. Eastern Airways Jetstream 41
10. Emirates B772 with a smokey touchdown on runway 33.

‘FP Lovely shots there. Are all these locations you took the photo’s in easilly accessable (and legal) at BHX ? I’m down at NEC for a training course soon some Im thinking about taking the camera with me for when I get bored !’
To answer your question grahamskipton, the area is easily accessable all you have to do is go down the path next to the long stay carpark..it get quite populer there on hot days and photos can easily be took through the fence, its perfectly legal, there are no sercruity officers watching your every move or somthin, the only problm is there are no toilets or shops so bring somthin to eat with you 🙂 , to save u a walk back to the terminal
If u want more information jst message me 😀
Airline Owner, that happend to me but all you have to do is load the page again and they do appear and thanks for all the comments people!! 😀 🙂 😀

I was surprised at how busy BHX was when i visited for my first time on a Sat in Junewith work – had a couple of hours there to potter around – great variety of stuff there! Was a shame Duo had ceised ops by then tho, and all the aircraft had dissapeared too. I had only managed to log two of them at MAN or a BHX divert day, but thats a differant story!!!

By: Future Pilot - 5th September 2004 at 00:57
Yeah the ground controller seemed surprised for some reason, he seemed to think it was doin a charter to EDI for some reason lol

Do you mean the BT microwave relay tower?
It’s in the centre of Birmingham and is a prominent local landmark.
Thanks! 🙂

Excellent pics. The TCX B752 will probably be positioning out to EDI for the EDI-YYZ flight. 🙂
By: Future Pilot - 4th September 2004 at 22:58
lol, should of noticed that, even thats a dumb mistake, thanks Grey Area, anyone else id free to point out any of my other mistakes lol 🙂

I hate to be pedantic, but that “Volare” A320 is in fact a Volar A320.
They’re two completely different airlines. One from Italy, the other from Spain.
