    RE: Pic Of The Day-Where did it go??

    Actually I think its an early 747. I remember seeing this, I think it had to be shipped from Hawaii to somewhere in the US as they didn’t have the facilities in Hawaii. Couldn’t take passengers obviously but they had a special licence to take it to get a new engine.

    RE: Low Cost Airlines?????

    They can be cheaper some of the time, they were a lot cheaper a few months ago before BA, BMI had to reduce prices. easyjet for example to AMS was only £60 return, BMI were looking for about £200 at the time. BMI fares to Scotland were rediculous before Go started up (about £300 return!)

    Although I have to agree, now you can get as good if not better deals on the big carriers. The thing that annoys me most about easyjet (and probably others) is that they don’t reserve seats, so its one massive brawl to get on the plane. Personally if I could get a flight with a good carrier within £20-£30 then I’d choose them.

    RE: A380

    It will indeed be great to see the A380 once complete. I read that Airbus were hoping to get a different customer for every year until release but were expecting two this year (I know they are in talks with JAL). Lets hope its a huge success and we see a few of them around. About the price, Boeing 747-400’s cost between $183 and $211 million, so I don’t suppose its that bad.

    PS Benair, see you at LHR for the first visit!

    RE: Please leave him alone UK press!

    Absolutely agree. It may also be a huge distraction from the World Cup preperations. We need Sven to be 100% concentrated on our World Cup campaign and this media attention is not helping one bit!

    The tabloids will be the first to criticise if England fail at the World Cup, not giving it a thought that they may actually be partly to blame. We may be looking back thinking that things may have been different if he could have put his attention towards football rather than other stories. Lets hope not though!

    RE: Flight Log Book?

    2001 flights – well I suggested (after Mongu had done so) that we start from 2001 else we could have gone on forever. This seems not to have been a popular idea by looking at the entries. Only thing to do is take it to the vote, but to be honest I can’t see everyone replying to the topic so we may have to leave them there!

    What does everyone think?

    RE: Airbus

    Airbus didn’t deliver more than Boeing, I think your getting mixed up with the 2001 figures where they received 60 % of aircraft orders (more than Boeing).

    PS Its a bit harsh calling a guy ignorant and stupid just becausde he may not have every issue and doesn’t come from the midlands!

    RE: Airline Liveries

    The two ERJ’s in Star alliance are G-RJXI and G-RJXH, they are also regulars at EMA. The newly delivered ERJ’s are all in new colours (RJXI onwards) but I haven’t seen any of the others yet.

    RE: Airbus

    How can you not like airbus? As you can see from my username, I love Airbus, not just the A330 but all of them.
    Both Boeing and Airbus are excellent manufacturers, fair enough that you like Boeing and the 757 but why do you dislike Airbus so much? As said above, more and more airlines are going airbus recently so they can’t be all that bad can they?

    PS Have you ever flown on an airbus aircraft?

    A few airbus shots for you to enjoy!

    RE: Flight Log Book?

    LGKR – Deleted your post.

    If you add flights with no Flight number, airline or aircraft it will now show an error. Also if you add a flight under 20 minutes it will show an error. This should now rule out any mis-typed flights.

    PS Anyone have any further ideas for the look of the log?

    RE: Flight Log Book?

    OK I’ve made a few changes:

    I have started to log IP addresses, you can view them here:
    http://www.plane-mad.com/flightlog/ip.html
    If we get more than one IP at the same username then we can see something is wrong.

    Also made a few changes to the add page. If you type a flight time above 50 hours it provides an error message and won’t log. If you give a rating above 10 the same happens. Also if there is an empty username, origin, destination it won’t log.

    I’ve changed the monster500 dates back to 2002 and deleted T5’s two flights. I’ve also deleted the Kabir 500 hours Delhi Mumbai as this was for May anyway so must have been another dodgy entry.

    Everything appears fine now, I’ve tested it a few times and don’t get any problems, let me know if there are any further errors.

    RE: Airline Liveries

    I think the majority of the unpainted aircraft are currently the A321’s which have been stored at EMA for the whole winter. Due to the fact that they were not sure what was going to happen to them then I think they decided not to paint. These may now be coming back into service hence the reason there may be more flying around now.

    The Fokker’s are not going to be re-painted I don’t think, as there are plans to replace them, I don’t think any of the early Embraers have been painted yet either, all of them at EMA are in the old colours.

    Air 2000 are getting a new livery that is apparently going to have a heavy First Choice influence, the First Choice flower will be on the tail. There is an aircraft either already painted or due to be painted soon with the colours.

    I like all the new colours, the bmi ones are great:

    RE: Flight Log Book?

    You have a point, I thought you may still be posting examples. There were also a lot of others that had complete rubbish in them, no username, no dest or origin, so someone is playing around.

    I can log IP addresses but I don’t know what this could acheive unless we already know the addresses of everyone else on the forum. As I say, I’m only an amateur at the programing but I’m always up for a challenge! I’ll take a look tomorrow and see what I can do.

    Something else I can do is password protect it, and then PM everyone on the board the password, but if the person posting these silly flights is from the board then it won’t stop. Apart from that I don’t know what else can be done, I’ll have a proper look tomorrow, if anyone has other ideas then please let me know.

    RE: Flight Log Book?

    OK a few questions to answer.

    Monster500 – Sorry for removing all flights but the ones already entered were really to check that everything was working, most people entered fictional flights and it was easier to start from scratch than have everyone post which were real and which were not. I did ask advice on here a good 8 hours before removing and got 2 replies, could have been waiting ages for everyone to answer.
    Your 2023 entries have been changed to 2002.

    LGKR – The look can change to anything at all. I wasn’t too worried about how it looked for a start, just wanted to get it working correctly. Don’t know whether you’ve done any HTML but it can be anything thats possible for a web page. You can go as far as designing the page or just making a few sugestions as to how you would like it to look (this goes out to everybody).

    T5 – Whats up with your enties? LHR-Tokyo on a Cessna with a rating of 500 odd and I don’t even want to mention the flight time!

    Also Kabir, one of your entries says 900 hours, have you entered this wrong or is this a problem with the log.

    RE: Not quite Kai Tak…..

    St Maarten is a very good place with some excellent and spectacular approaches.

    That AOM DC-10 looks far too low though!
