Boring Saturday so I went to the local

Excellent pics, G-BIKO was at EDI a couple of evenings ago.

The billboard and the other two normal that are the farest away will be broken up because they have cracks in the fuselage. That will take some time tough (before they are broken up).

Wow!

Great work Andy! :p

You produce the best shots I have seen posted on here!

Regards 🙂

Fake air-to-airs!!! 😮 :p

Saw the DHL 757 doing visual circuits and as a result making very early right turns, and I thought “I know where I’ll get some nice pics of that from…” Took about 20 pics of it whilst it did more than 10 circuits – it got boring after I while!!!

Thanks for the compliments though guys – appreciate it! 🙂

PS: I’ve done Howard Beach at JFK too… Oneday I’ll upload a few that haven’t been on a.net

PPS: If any of you’ve seen the Travel Channel/Discover Wings program on Concorde’s retirement, I’m the English guy on the beach at JFK rattling on about the damned thing – still haven’t seen it myself, although many have said to me “hey, you were on telly”!!!

Superb shots, especially the DHLs.

Great photos indeed. The first one rivals with the fake air-to-air shots of JFK and SYD. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great photos Andy!

Tom,

LOL!!! Yeah, probably a bit like Leeds! We only have one Jet2 a day though – always G-CELY from BFS about 2000, does some post office flights, then goes back to BFS.

Currently we have one SSV A320 and one regular MYT A320 (last night was G-KKAZ). Most of our traffic is Baby, Easy, BMI Regional, Ryanair and Eastern on schedules, plus Brit, MyTravel, First Choice and Tommy Cook charters. Then we get the oddies – Saturday is Tyrolean (CRJ), Balkan Holidays (A320), VLM to Jersey, KLM the same, Hola (733)… In the week there’s Air Europa, Pegasus, Air Malta, Excel, Futura, etc… The excitement never stops [JOKE!]. Unfortunately, the interesting freight movements like the Luftwaffe MD-11s land after dark!

Sounds very simliar to Leeds, we have a based SSV 320, a based Britannia, of course the 7 Jet2 733s, 4 BMi F100s and a ERJ, 2 Easterns and a KLM.

We have PGT,AEA,JKK,MON during the week as well as 2 IWD and 1 FCA 757 flight.

I guess we can all get bored with our “local” But I do wish mine was LHR or MAN!

LHR is my local, its ok but really there are too much BA A319/320’S.

Belfast Intl is worse than any of your “locals” for traffic. Mind you its like buses you wait for ages then 10 come along at once!

Anyone thing – usually when storing aircraft to keep them in good condiction they put covers over engines to stop things going in and making a wee home. Ryanair obviously dont plan to sell the 732s on as they havent bothered with the cost. No airline would buy them from Ryanair i guess as of the public knowledge of poor care of them!

some good ones there. Like the DHL ones as i havent ever seen one yet. BMI Baby logojet is a good one as well

Try NCL, Ooooh there goes another EasyJet

Lovely pics! If you think thats boring you should try having STN as your local! Ooooh there goes another Ryanair!!!!

I thought that FR has got rid of all his 732′. It seems that some are left.
I like those DHL pix. Thanks

Nice sharp pics indeed, very nice.
Here’s a pic of some of the stored RYR 737-200’s, these 5 are stored at PIK a few weeks ago, there are now 6.

Excellent shots. I love the first DHL shot. I really love such “fake air-to-air” shots, but unfortunately i can not make them because my lense is too small.

brill shots 🙂

Excellent shots man.

Love the first one, great angle

Lovely shots Andy. That second DHL one is very nice, as is the Bmi baby logojet.

Cheers for posting em up. 🙂
