If im not wrong….thomsonfly only fly to Florida in the USA and usually take a southerly atlantic track.
For me, the engines on the second one make it a 777 anyways 😀
LOL I was not think off Thomsonfly just any TUI airline 😀 If its not TUI 767 then a KLM Boeing 777-206ER

Does anyone have a full list of 777 operators across the atlantic….maybe then we could narrow it down using elimination:D

The second one I think is AAL 777, these are very common over Glasgow , as you have them coming from LHR , LGW and the rest of Europe the reason it looks grey is the angle that you are looking at the picture, you can not make out the top half of the fusalage .Unless you have a callsign , it wiil be very hard to Id this one
ACARS – Digital data link Full name is Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System ,if you do a google search you will find all the answers you need

I agree with PW, 2nd one is a 777, it looks grey so maybe an Asiana?

He not say which way they where going tho :p

True….but I still think if it was overhead GLA it would either be going to or returning from the west coast of the USA….where of course thomsonfly do not fly to;)

Why would a TUI 767 be overhead Glasgow?? I thought aircraft only route that way if they are heading to the west coast of the USA.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the help, still probing the first one, but after looking again at the original file of the second one its a TUI group B767. The first could well be the AeroMexico, the markings seem to fit in well, If i could tie up the times of the Aeromexico that was overhead GLA, then it would be problem solved.
Thanks again
Raymy.

Talking to some one at Pik this Afternoon and he mentioned a Aero Mexico passing over Glasgow , so that could be the first One,
second one , Possibly a AAl , which can look like jordanain at High levels , between 1000and 1200 there are no jordaian showing on acars
4 AAL
3 AFR
3 UAL
1 DHL
1 ACA
1 VIR
PM me if you wish A full list from ACARS
Was I right 😮 it was only a guess as I was reading an airline livery book last night and was reading about them lol :p whats ACARS

I reckon Aeromxico for the first and a TUI 767 (could be any of the companies they now own) for the second.
By: pauldyson1uk - 18th November 2006 at 16:25
What about ALIA Jordanian for the first one :confused:
Paul
