RE: Alexander The Great

I read about this,it seems like a good idea to encourage tourism to the region.The sculpture seems a great way to honour a great Greek.It should also give the Makedonian region of Greece a better identity as it normally seems over shadowed by the country Macedonia to the north,when people think of that area.

RE: Isle of Man / IOM

Great news for the IOM.There is only one way in which places such as the IOM can keep key air routes, and that is for a locally based person to set up his own airline to serve destinations from that airport.
In the C.I,we are also hopefully getting a new airline.Island Air, which if it generates enough money,will serve Jersey with Stansted with an EAL 737-200.They also hope to start serving,if they are successful,other European destinations based on a hub and spoke system.This will secure key air links to the islands and also the same with the new IOM airline as I think that with all these scrapping of routes by BA,that we can not depend on them for the secured slots at places such as LHR,LGW,etc.

Or if you want a flag or something just search for animated flags on a search engine.

RE: Pic Of the Day-Emirates Snapshots!

Great pictures…love the one landing at Kai Tak.

RE: Pics

Digital camera I suspect.Also A.net accepts new airlines,aircraft, crashes,etc quicker than other photos,so in this case the photographer got them on very quickly.

RE: BA B747 ‘City of Oxford’

To get to the Falklands you can go on the weekly RAF Tristar flight from Brize Norton.They allow civilians to travel on these flights as well.
