    Nice pics… Aero Flight is, to all intents and purposes, the limited reincarnation of Aero Lloyd.

    Well. It seems Wysiwyg got it all wrong after all. His “glider with 5 APU’s” has finally become an export success.

    LOL! 😀

    Minden Air are testing a BAe146 this coming week as a potential future fire bomber – the US Forestry Service has deemed that all air tankers are turbine powered by 2008, and the 146 is seen as a suitable candidate – good low speed handling, manouevreable (sp?!), and fairly easy to maintain! 😮

    Best thing – at least then passengers won’t have the misery of them anymore! :p

    Are those VS 742s just mothballed or are they going to be scrapped?

    The two in that picture (plus a third elsewhere on the airfield) were parked post 9/11 when Virgin’s trans-Atlantic traffic dropped and they suspended some routes. Since then, the A346s Virgin had on order to replace the 742s have been delivered, so Virgin have no need for the 742s any more. Maybe some other airline will pick them up, maybe they won’t – 742s can be had really cheaply right now, but there’s very little demand for pax configured 742s and the market for frieght conversions is pretty much done now that 744s are starting to be candidates for conversion.

    Sounds about right (the last one)… They’re looking for five more 733s (first three supposedly coming from Easy) – two are to replace the two leasers mentioned above, two additional aircraft for Birmingham (the third BHX a/c is coming from the MAN base), and the final a/c as a service backup to be used to try to rid them of the “BMIMaybe” nickname!

    “Lucky” you…! I may have to go to Hydrabad in India in late October – seems like at least one sector each way will be on an “interesting” airline…! Not sure whether I’m looking forward to it or not!
