Great pics Allen! I went to UA’s website and they had a weather advisory for all flights in and out of ORD, so if the UA flight originated from there, that makes sense. Perhaps that advisory applies to other airports in that vicinity, as well.
US from Philly, AA from Chicago and Continental from Newark. Generally if they’re all late it’s down to the weather on the US side of the pond. Interestingly the US Airways 762 was the last to arrive and still managed to leave ten minutes early, hence the somewhat hastily taken snap as I was walking to my 23 departures photo spot.
I was listening to the US Airways talking to GLA approach on the way in, boy did they sound tired, whichever pilot was engaged in conversation kept having to double check and correct the info he was giving to approach and they kept having to ask him if he understood. I’m sure I heard a yawn in the background ? (lol) 😉
A few more pics of general goings on…
That BA Dash caught the wind just on lift off, the other wing almost kissed the tarmac ! 😮
And a nice 757 shot for Bmused 55 to enjoy…
” LAX rehearses parking arrangements for first A380 arrival.”
the only sign was lying on the ground, covered by a bush some 300 yards up the road from where the “spotters” were nicked.
Oh oh, Fred Seggie strikes again (lol) 😀
“Ok, when the music stops everyone hide !”
Indeed, I was being slightly sarcastic in my last post. The main things to be aware of are signs prohibiting spotting/photography. You’ll find this to be the case mainly at airbases or airports sharing with military traffic.
Well then, lets schedule for next spring. Say April?
give me plenty of time to save money.
Why not indeed ! 😀
Dude, you got room for camping on your back lot ? (lol) 😀 😉
DO I have to be carful there? Why be careful especially in Greece?
Because the Greek authorities can’t believe anyone in their right mind would be interested in watching planes, other than spies. So if they catch you watching planes they will lock you up and throw away the key ! 😮
Well, at £400 return JUST for the airfare… I’m not sure I can afford a spotting trip to LAX, although beleive me I’d love to!
I got a return from GLA-DUB-LAX for £299 plus taxes, about £360 all in. That was booked online and about two months ahead of travel. June, July and August are all expensive, it gets better in September. I’ll be too busy this year but defo thinking of next spring for it.
“Airfield ground controller suffers from sudden shoulder spasm !”
“I told you not to feed the birds”
“New ILS installation required some tweaking”
You paying?
Usually do, unless I can work steerage like last time? :p
Ah…. little miss Polly… NICE !…. CONTEMPORARAY !!
So it’s looking like Airbus have found it’s Concorde replacement already, i.e. a plane that can only operate between certain niche airports. :confused:
Ah… another good reason to organise a spotting trip to LAX. 🙂
Let’s not start an airport ware here between GLA and EDI….hahaha
Yes indeed, it’s embarrassing and parochial enough on the GLA and EDI sites without starting it on here, comparison is fine but moderation will be applied to the first signs of flaming as witnessed elsewhere I would suggest. 😀
