Err…..Seattle? Renton? 😉 On a serious note apparently(sic) this whole thing started from an article written in the International Herald Tribune.
and what is ironic? The fact that the A380 first flew exactly one year ago today!
Look at the size of the leading edge slats! That is some drop distance they have eh? I saw this monster at MAN today as well – the only issue for me was that there were some damned light poles & fences in the way so I couldnt get a decent shot…. Love the shot that started this thread though….
Actually Lance – I was glad you were probably at work, otherwise it would have you know what from the heavens!!! LOL
Shame you didnt snag the BMI ERJ145 I was on that landed at 1305!!
Where did you go for those angles btw?
Out to EDI for me tomorrow!!
My apologies for fogetting to include the source – I normally do. Interesting that it was changed though at FlightGlobal….I wonder why?
OK then – lets have a count…
DUS at a weekend or weekday
AMS at a weekend or weekday
Wanna email me with a preference me so I can start looking at some calendars and take this a bit further? cheers
That’ll teach me to read the PPRUNE forums! LOL
They look like P shots too me and they are GREAT!! I have just ordered a 350D myself – cant wait until next week for it…
Love the 1st Fokker shot – it looks like half the windows are missing!! Fingers crossed I can snag some equally good shots at EDI myself on Friday… 🙂
May 18th is recognised at the official first date these days – the end of April was canned a while back…. I think it is going to be stored out near T5 at a remote stand.
Right – i have now booked a BMI flight from MAN to EDI on Thurs 27th so have a chance to get some quick spotting in from the car park at MAN about 1030….. Yipee!!
******!!!
LMAO !!! Or even this if ANA start buying the A380? 😀
What about Go? Whoever thought they would end up being sucked in by EZY?
Crosswindtastic or the pilot has the shakes!
Cheers lads!! Thanks for the suggestions…
A330 – I get to Leeds about 1130, will chuck my crap into Malmaison, head into the office and then be free(or make myself free) about 1700 – maybe earlier….Wanna hookup and go over there? (I know traffic can be a pain on that bottleneck road out to LBA from the middle of town tho!) If you fancy it PM me and I will pass on my mobile number. Alternatively, you can email me on my Blackberry using this [EMAIL=chris.w.balmer@thesrgroup.com]email[/EMAIL]
As I am off to EDI on Thurs, I can be sensible and take the train, but am REALLY tempted to dive over to MAN and then fly up!! LOL. As for returning to STN from EDI on Friday, I might well fly to AMS and then back to STN for the sheer fun of it! (as long as the boss doesn’t see my expenses! 😀
