The two main things of interest are CO, which I should only see on the ground and HY from Tashkent, which I now know is Uzbekistan Airlines. Will that be a 757 or a 767?
Can any of you who live around the Birmingham area tell me what the weather is meant to be like tomorrow, it’s meant to be pishing down at EDI tomorrow! 😉
I’m looking forward to this flight and shall be sure to bring back some pics and produce some sort of trip report, unlike a recent trip to BHD on Flybe by a couple of forum members where the trip report never materialised! :p That wasn’t a dig or a hint. 😉

Went to the motorshow today, had a very good day, im very tired now though!
Best thing was on the train, just as we were coming into the station we passed very close to the apron at BHX, where I saw G-SJMC MYT 767, a TCX 757 and a BE 146!

I’ll remember that one we get closer to your flight dates! 😉 😀
Now, I wonder what Q400 I will get?
I am hoping for G-JEDI the Star Wars plane and their newest G-JEDV. 🙂

Saturday’s one of the best in !
I had a busy Sat last Sat!

You skillfully managed to avoid the day I’m going- Thursday. :p 😉

HY usually operate the 757 into BHX, occasionally they use a 767. LX are codesharing on most of their flights to ZRH with AA now, is this in preperation for their move to T2 at BHX in July?
Friday isn’t the best day at BHX for spotting, Saturday’s one of the best in the summer, but you should have a good morning. Enjoy!

I don’t begrudge it, just wondered
By: Bhoy - 2nd June 2004 at 15:05
because Liberty is more patriotic in post 9/11 America.
EWR is also right behind Liberty Island on the West bank of the Hudson, so, corny as it sounds, you can’t really begrudge the name…

Hope u have good pics
Oh believe me they won’t be! 😀 Just so you understand why not:
1) the camera- 1.5 mega pixels
2) I am still not to clever at resizing
Hopefully they’ll be better than nothing though. 🙂
The best ones will be from the flights.
