Hi Folks, took myself over to Manchester this afternoon to catch up with the Aeroflot Cargo DC-10. Here are a trio of piccies of my favourite airliner on it’s final approach to 23R.
Regards,
Peter

Great shots! I think the DC-10 is a strange looking aircraft when you get up close to it. :diablo: :diablo: :diablo: the MD11 is a much better looking aircraft.

Aeroflot are currently operating a once weekly (Wednesday afternoon) cargo flight routing Frankfurt/Hahn-Manchester-Moscow/Sheremetyevo.

Fullest apologies – my mistake – of course the Aeroflot Cargo flight is operating on a TUESDAY afternoon! I got myself mixed up with the Air China Cargo flight which has a Wednesday afternoon operation.

Are there any plans to paint these birds into the new livery, well a ‘Aeroflot Cargo’ variation? I get the feeling they’d look preety damn good :D.
