There are 4 good viewing areas at MAN, one already mentioned. The others are on top of the multi-storey carpark where you can get a good view of Pier Charlie, the Terminal 2 area and the Freight Apron, also inside terminal 1 cafe area where through glass, most domestic traffic can be viewed in the T1/3 Central Apron. The other being the Airport Hotel at the end of 24R where arriving and departing aircraft can be seen at close-call.

Here’s a couple more from the archives, 1 taxiing from the apron and one on take-off:

A great place to spot and take photo’s i got to say is on the other side of Africa in the Med at Larnaca beach in Cyprus. It cost about the same to get there and the carriers are more varied. I don’t know if you have been there before but I would defo add this to the list.

Airline %

Already got it as soon as it became available from Key Publishing, a word of warning though – it comes on a BLUE CD, be extra carefull as these are very delicate. I suggest making a backup as soon as you recieve it.

As for the sim, I’m well into it. Started in 1978 and I’m already a milionaire. I think it’s very complex and very challenging.

Think like an Airline, You’ll have an Airline. Keep an eye on the seasons and decide your market place.
