Like the Transat A330 – I’ll be in one on Saturday. I’m hoping it will be C-GITS, partly because I like the reggie and partly because it is the one that made an unscheduled stop in the Azores a few years ago 😮

As for the BA 757, I guess it wasn’t full…

Is that not a Super MD-80?

Yes but to us old farts it will aways be a DC-9 ! 😀

Nice selection Kev and thanks for the text message about the DC-10. Sadly I was a bit busy with Eammon Holmes at the time but maybe it’ll be back again ?:)

As for the 757, yes very impressive ‘carrier’ take off, I presume it was part of BA’s new strategy to save money (post fine) by not using as much runway as normal ??? 😮

Nice stuff as usual Kevin,
Liking the TSC 330 and the DC10, canny see anything wrong with the BA 757.

Have you shaken off the geezers in the blacked out windows van yet…..:D

Good set there Kevin, nice to finally see the KLM 737W at GLA, The DC9 must have been the return flight from last week, it is operated by Italair. Just came out of the recording studio for a bit of cool air(which is directly under 23 finals) as the Omni 10 landed…nice!!
Hey, fantastic news about the new EZY flight, the darkside up for a jolly to CDG sometime??
Oh, the BA 757, i think the tyre presssure on the right main,left hand rear tyre is a couple of PSI out :p 😮
