true. Good point. However:

A further 4 aircraft may also be repossessed in the near future if United cannot renegotiate the terms of these aircraft aswell

This quote suggests that United aren’t keeping up as it seems to pointing the finger a lot at United.

Not necessarily. UA may be paying it’s planes right now. Problem for UA is that the lease will expire. Then a new lease will have to be set up. This will likely be more expensive since planes are in more demand then when the lease was set up.

You would think that it would be easy to source replacements from aircraft stored in the desert,and there must be still quite a few, I would think.

I do not think that many leasing companies will want to lease to UA. Not at favourable rates anyway. The risk for the lessors that UA does not pay for one reason or another is rather large. Remember, they are STILL loosing money fast. They are STILL in chapter 11 (with no hope to leave anytime soon) and their cash reserves are STILL appaling.

Leasing companies will prefer leasing to more stable airlines that make money and/or are backed by rich people. For instance Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Vietnam Airways, BA, AF, KL.

Come to think of it. Since they are in C11 I am not even convinced they are ALLOWED something like that. Paying of their current creditors (long list!) goes ahead of making new creditors!

aah, OK. I see what you mean. I thought you had covered something up with paint shop or something.

Not a Transall then?

Nope, the plane pictured has the stabilizer on top of the tail. The C160 has the stabilizer on the rear fuselage just under the tail.

1) Kalitta B747-200
2) US Airways A330-200
3) Easyjet B737-700
4) Martinair B767-300 <- probably flight MP0815 AMS-YYC PH-MCI
5) definately 707, a radar dish can just be seen over the left wing just behing engine 2. Either NATO or RAF.

Me too, there’s too many adverts!

I find that Adware does a great job blocking them.

Nice photos! However, the horizon seems to be unlevel on the first pic! :diablo:

I like the herc best!

I live no more than 30km away from their main base and still have not got a single one of them on photo, except for a few lousy shots from the static displays at various airshows.

Is that the Reebok stadium? Bolton? There’s lots of vapour trails and that NW England area generally seems to get a lot of overflying aircraft?

I’d have to agree. http://www.webbaviation.co.uk/stadiums/reebok.htm

As for the planetype, second guess is an Embraer.
