Here she is…..

I am awaiting Jet2’s order for some B737NG’s 😛

You’ll be waiting a while mate 😉

No not at all 🙂 Nowhere else in the world can you drink an ice cold Carib on a beach surrounded by warm turquoise water with aircraft flying just a matter of feet overhead 😎

You get asked to buy cannabis at a lot places.

Obviously yeah but I was just trying to make it clear that as beautiful as St. Maarten is, it isn’t perfect because of things such as this.

SXM is not as safe as it used to be, for sure, but it comes down to common sense as in any other part of the world. After dark strolls down the dark golf course in Mullet Bay might be a tad dangerous, and some people have been robbed close to the airport, including one of my neighbours..but that was around 2300 and he was walking home after dark..alone.

I can understand what you mean Ken. I remember walking back to the hotel (Maho Beach Sonesta Hotel) alone one night from the Sunset Beach Bar and on the way I was stopped by some guys asking me if I wanted to buy Cannabis or if I had a light on me. The distance from the SSBB to the hotel isn’t very far as you all know so it just goes to show that as beautiful as the island is, it isn’t at all safe.

What’s with the LR still making MAN appearances? I thought its range was supposed to bypass MAN.

They still have make a stop at Manchester as the US will not accept direct flights from Pakistan due to security issues, although the return leg operates direct from US to Pakistan.

Old ‘LH doesn’t seem to have much luck. A decompression problem just a couple of months ago forcing her to turn back to MAN, and now this? 🙁

I can’t seem to find any info on this one unfortunately. Anyone else?….

any idea what a/c will be operating it?

It was a B737-300.

LS175P from NCL landed at MAN around 30 mins ago so I presume that’s where they got the aircraft from and it was positioning back in.
