RE: JMC131K/L
The 757-300’s only operate ex-LGW and MAN. The NCL crews are mostly not trained on the 300 as they would rarely get to fly it. Personally I prefer flying the 200 as the whole advantage of flying a 757 is the sheer performance. This is watered down on the 300 series.
Larnaca was pleasant today. Sharm-el-Sheik tomorrow!

RE: JMC131K/L
Greekdude, I’m going to be on Corfu from 29th July onwards for a fortnight. I hope to spend another day at the airport like I did last year;
caught site of some Moanrch 757’s, Air 2000 A321’s, A Russian TU-154, both of Excels 767s at the same time and about 5 JMC aircraft!
As well as Aegean Bae146 and a Futura 737-800!
Cheers, good to know the aircrafts going to be a 757200, would have prefered a -300 but cant have everything 🙁

My mum and sister will be at Larnaca tomorrow – they’re flying to Gatwick with Excel Airways and depart at about 23:00hrs.

RE: JMC131K/L
Unfortunately, I will not be in Larnaca tomorrow. I’m still in Sydney right now. I’m heading to Melbourne this weekend. I will in Greece from July 25th-August 4th. I’ll be in London from August 4th till the 10th. I was hoping to make Farnborough, but looks like I won’t be able to make that afterall. Perhaps 2004 I’ll make it.

Greek islands are a haven for UK, German and Scandanavian charter companies. I was on Rhodes 3 years ago during July, wow! Charter companies galore, and our hotel was right under the flight path. I saw them all.
