LBA CHAT

Well to be fair, we also have two Jet2 757 flights a week, and a Thomsonfly 757 a week.

So thats about 870 seats each way a week, compared to about 550 seats each way last summer with the AEA, AEU and the Thomsonfly 757. More capcity = good news!

Dissapointed there is only one Friday Tenerife flight on a boring AEA 737-800.

well i have been in bradford all evening watchin the Bradford Bulls ( i kinder work for them but support mighty LEEDS!!) any ways we couldent see the other side of the pitch or even the players so fog has been bad all over w yorks

Fog seems to be terrible around in West Yorkshire, maybe further out!

Just driven home from Guiseley from work, fog is really bad, even is down where I live!

Maybe some have already seen this impression of LBA.
I think it was done by some clever guy on the old LBA spotters site.
Very interesting though.

FR153 LBA – DUB 14/02/06 – B737-800 EI-CSI
FR156 DUB – LBA 14/02/06 – B737-800 EI-DHO

[OFFTOPIC]Woah, lbaspotter, just noticed you got exactly the same aircraft combination, just the day after me, and in a fleet the size of FR’s! Co-incidence or what! [/OFFTOPIC]

🙂

Thick fog decended late afternoon causing chos!!
Gone now and aircraft are landing again. Still very wet and horrible

Yer i noticed that, seems to be a bit of fog around us at the moment, RVR’s where 200meters but now around 550 meters on runway 32, so CAT1 aircraft can get in 😉

There is too many LBA fans on here need get rid off sum 😀 :dev2: :diablo:

James

Give the lad a break. He’s obviously a young lad wanting to find out more about what’s happening at his local airport.

There are many LBA related threads on this forum, and another one he subscribes to. He just needs to read and look around a little, before making sweeping statements or asking questions which the answers are quite plainly there staring him in the eyes.
