Thanks again,

Wingflaps2 – pretty neat to have the number of posts, although I’d have preferred 330! 🙂

Be silly to go for anything other than the A345/6 in my opinion, a small airline like that needS fleet commonality.

I do feel the PR of “4 engine 4 longhaul” is a stupid idea though. Surely one day VS will need something a bit smaller. OK they can fill 744’s and A346’s on their current routes as the demand is high, but as they grow they will have to start flying tO places where the demand isn’t quite as good and where something like an A330 or 777 would be better suited.

Even BA operate mainly 777’s across the Atlantic and they have a lot of connecting traffic at LHR, more than VS surely.

You only have to look at my uasername to see which I’d go for, I’m desperate to fly on the A330!

Also the inflight entertainment is important on longhaul flights for me and Qatar seem to have some pretty good stuff!

Finally the Flybe that made an emergency landing that Jay mentioned, kept the gear up for a long time and stopped on the runway to be towed to the apron.

Will probably post a couple more over next few days, wait till they’re on a.net as I can’t be bothered to re-size and fiddle about with the file size right now!

Virgin 744 G-VXLG

OK, heres a few of mine, I’ll use the a.net images as they’re already re-sized and compressed enough to be below limit.

This might be the A310 your thinking of, Uzbekistan:

AMS sounds excellent, there are loads of low cost flights from about everywhere so I would think a lot of people can make it.

I’m over on the 2 September, bit too soon though I think.

Nice pics Kev!
