Wannabe pilot – apart from the obvious one there, my highlight of the spot was the Q400, that was the only one of the type I saw, just as I was waiting for SNBA to make an appearance to take off. It was also a change for me to see the EK 777, normally at MAN I have only seen their A330s, though I don’t rave about the 777 because I don’t see anything beautiful or unusual about it as a type.
I can recommend BHX for the unusual, especially Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan carriers, but they weren’t there on the day I was, so I was very disappointed about that because the other airports I am spotting at this year (namely Manchester and Brussels) don’t see those carriers. Next year we will fly from BHX again because I just loved it there. Wish I could go more often!
