Evening all.
On Tuesday im going to be at NCL all day shadowing a member of staff at British Airways to see how things are ran *praying to god i get to go airside*. Anywho Ive just brought my self a new camera and spent last Wednesday getting to grips with it with my g/f oddly enough under the flight path into NCL. So i was wondering could any one tell me where the best spots are at NCL to get pictures of aircraft?
Also is there anything special due in Tuesday?
cheers
Luke.

hey dudes back from the chillis gig was awesome anywho back to ncl, not to sure about the length mate but i know this the 747 cant take off from ncl with a heavy load. same for the triple 777.
infact the A330 sometimes struggles to get airborne from ncl.
Plans are in place to extend the runway a 100 metres or so some time in the next few years.
BA wont be sending up 757s now for the heathrow and gatwick runs as BA are getting rid of the 757. Infact theres a chance we may see a BA 767 in from time to time.

Right dudes im back was an awesome day got to see loads of areas of the airport damn its been a while. Was unable to take my new camera as me dad knicked off with it last night!! Took a few pics but most of them were crap but heres some. When driving up the run way we had to vacate it rather fast seen as a easyjet captain decided to call in from 6 miles out! Cue a fast dash to the end of the runway!! I also had lunch in the british airways lounge next to the departure gates which was loverly.
Number one is the plane that took the england team to Germany, even got to sit in the cockpit OH YEAH!!
Number 4 shows the runway at newcastle airport and damn that things long.
was going to go the end of the runway but i was offered a ride home in the managers porsche and like hell was i going to turn that down!!!
