I do indeed, albeit part time.

Not had any designs go public as yet, so I can’t comment on who I’ve had work accepted by. When they start becomming public, I’ll let you all know 😀

Edinburgh Airways 777-200? 😀 😀

On stand block 30… :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Bmused55]That is, according to this Article

Any idea what the MTOW is, runway length, etc…etc..?

I hate this categorisation! 😡
Still we had two widebodies at EDI(777 and Excel 767) in the same day- yesterday. BAA must have been on crack yesterday to allow that to happen! :rolleyes:

The problem is that because of a few isolated examples.
folk cannot see the categorisation…actually believing
that airlines are bowing to ‘demand’ from elsewhere.

They are oblivious to the fact that EDI outperforms every
other BAA Scottish airport on routes it is allowed to compete over.

Long haul will not be any different, give the EDI-EWR
route a few years and it too will follow the same pattern.

Sounds great at Frankfurt.Im travelling there on 24th July on my way to Faro. I’ll be there for 4 hrs and so hopefully me and my dad will go and visit the observation decks.
Next flight:- 24th July EDI-FRA-FAO

Let us know how you get on with that? Sensible flight arrangements by the sound of it…. 🙂 🙂 🙂

“If it don’t go EDI…don’t go!” :p :p :p

The runway length has been compressed because of the amount of zoom used. Which believe is a huge amount! In reality the runway is just under 8500ft long, long anough for a 744 at mtow to the US Eastern seaboard I’d say, but no furthur.

The runway is capable for A330’s/B767s MTOW within these aircrafts ranges. Pretty comprehensive…

BAA have promised starter strips at each end of the runway to accommodate ALL large aircraft MTOWs.

When? Good question…. 😡 😡 😡

Allow to add, this 777 took off with a shorter run that a 757!!!!

I wonder if Emirates are reading this? 😡 😡

Here’s another shot

A link that won’t expire

Cool eh? 😀 Apparently it’s a VIP flight from Austria? It arrived just before noon and is here until sometime tomorrow. I’ve not been out yet, however, I shall be before it leaves! 😀
First visit of a 777 and Vietnam Airlines to EDI ever!
