Do the excel 757’s have the Pratt & Whitney engine option instead of the Rolls Royce??
Yah, PW2040 engines I believe

Looks like the Sentry was doing engine shutdown practice by the rudder deflection.

Fantastic shots, XP Boy! The 707 reminds me of ‘Airport’ (film) yesterday – talk about product placement!
The XLA 757 looking good also, didn’t realise XLA had joined Oneworld (:D)!!
Does anyone know the crewing arrangements for this aircraft – are the cabin crew Finnish or British?

Since it’s a B707 wearing a silly hat, I’ll pretend that it’s a commercial aircraft.
Ha! That gave me a giggle!

Maybe a military jet but its still a commercial airport 😀
Why may I ask was the Columbian (?) air force doing up in NCL? ?
:p
Whats with the columbian (or at least columbian looking) flag on the tail all about then?
Wozza thats not a columbian flag but i know what you mean 😉 , all 8 Squadron aircraft have it by the RAF badge http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~8sqnwad/
That Sentry AEW1 is in 8 Squadron 90th Anniversary markings
hope that helps
Greats shots there

Wow, Sentry sure looks nice. Love those engines! That new Eastern JS really p!sses me off for some reason.
Great pics though! The BA 320 without winglets… its just WRONG! :p

Did you see the other Excel 757 that flew MAN-NCL-Santorini and v.v?

It’s an Royal Air Force one, not a Columbian one 🙂
