    Silver Snapper, is there a facility at EDI on site

    None whatsoever, the viewing terrace was erased about
    4 years ago… 😡

    nice pic. I want to go to EDI

    It’s an excellent choice for pics although some local knowledge is required.

    Check Gerry Hill’s excellent site.

    I love them, as they are the only non Jet based commercial a/c at LBA.

    Nice shots again 🙂

    Have Eastern given-up their leased 135s?

    Enclosed..apologies for the quality and over-sharpening.

    The usual superb shots Joe, especially like the Eastern for some reason…

    Cant wait to see more ‘later’ 😀

    I too have an affinity for Eastern and the J41 in particular.

    I still cherish their J31s in fact.. 😀

    Very nice shots, just wish we had more of the World Tails around.

    I’ll check my DB for some… 🙂

    Nice to see a BA B767 at EDI; I assume it was a special appearance on the LHR shuttle. I remember @5 years ago when the B767-300s were actually scheduled on 1/2 flights/day on the LHR-MAN/EDI/GLA services.

    They still appear on some of the busiest flights, in fact the
    month of August (EDI’s busiest) is perhaps the likeliest
    time. 🙂

    like the first one of the bmi 145

    This one was taken from roughly the same spot. 😎

    EDI certainly has magnificent opportunities for snappers. 😀

    EDI’s runway can take a 747, but a lightly loaded intra european type operation. For example football and rugby charters where they jammed to bursting with pax but low fuel loads.

    A 767 going trans atlantic, I’m not 100% certain of that. Need to crunch some numbers.
    767’s have operated out of EDI semi regularly to Spain, Greece etc. So it is possible to get of the deck with a full pax load.

    As for the upgrade… I wasn’t talking stright away, just hypothetically speaking, say next year after the schedules update.

    Check this link for an EDI capable FAQ..

    BM,
    What could Edinburgh support in terms of Runway capacity??

    EDI’s runway is capable of handling 742/3s? with 400+ pax to the US/Canadian east coast.

    EAL proved this a few seasons ago. :p
