Ren, assuming that BY 767 was on stand when you took the photo I was about 100 yards to the left and on the next row back.

If the ba5tard gets on your nerves let rip a smelly one…that’ll keep him quiet for a while.

That Air2000 does look to be cilmbing awful steep!

There are 2 reasons for a steep climb out. Firstly not a huge amount of fuel is required to get back to the UK from Innsbruck so the aircraft is ‘relatively’ light. Secondly, with all that terrain and potential windshear it would be standard procedure to depart with full power (ie no derated take offs).

easyJet spent a fortune on having HUD’s installed on the 737’s in order to get reduced minimums for low vis approaches however they couldn’t maintain crew recency on the system and ended up binning the idea.

Moggy, you really should have realised by now that we were all steered to this forum so that Robert could give us the benefit of his experience. As he says on another thread ‘prepare to be educated’!!! 😉

I’ll take my little camera with me but don’t expect too much. I can handle a Boeing but these cameras things are seriously tricky!

Allen, if you’re still there tomorrow (Tuesday) I’ll be landing at around 1425z at TFS as TCX18K. We depart at 1525z as TCX18L. Any chance of a photo or two? The conditions might be a bit better than our attempts at GLA! We’ll be in a 752 (it was supposed to be a 753 but we’re running out of them!).

Spoke to a mate who is STN based for EZY and he has been told they are about to start receiving 700’s which are being freed up from LGW. Presumably this is the result of impending A319 deliveries to LGW.
