    wow! What was that Saudi plane doing in DUS? That is not a regular is it? Must get myself over the DUS some day soon, it is starting to be a very serious competitor to AMS judging from these shots.

    When looking at LCY there are a good number of modern jets that fly in there. ERJ-135 (and ‘145?), F70 and in the future the E170 will be certified too. If they can land at LCY they can most likely also land at the islands.

    For now though, it would seem that the E190 does not get certified. Therefore in the future the largest plane to fly there would seem to be the E170 carrying merely 70odd pax.

    Quite a nice interview with some infromation and lots of usual complaints to EU regulators. O’L is quite a funny guy if you ask me, making a lot of fun at his own expense (I’m not a workaholic, I’m more of an alcoholic for instance stands out). Some quotes:

    • When comparing SRB with O’Leary, O’leary said he wouldn’t “fly around the world in a hot-air balloon. I’m quite certain i won’t even fly around dublin in a hot-air balloon”.
    • Like all irish i’m more alcoholic than workaholic.
    • most people think i don’t have a feeling for PR, but i do have a feeling for making noise!
    • passengers will have to pay for IFE (coming in a few months)
    • average price ryanair ticket is 40euro (+/- 27 pounds)
    • last year 15% was free (taxes where for passenger)
    • the ticket prices should be free
    • how did you find charleroi: “very easy, charleroi found us”
    • if zaventem said you can fly here for fee, we won’t
    • we’re not considering expanding at CRL: not at the moment.
    • we are close to 2 million pax at Charleroi, but won’t get more (because of the EU ruling)
    • charleroi wants to grow, ryanair wants to grow, pax want us to grow at Charleroi, but we can’t because of EU bureaucrats at Brussels that want to protect Zaventem.
    • generally we decide to open a new route when there is a efficient airport and good fasclities, we are constantly talking to 50 airports and take 5 as new destination
    • 3 large traditional airlines will remain in Europe: LH, BA and AF. The rest will be gone or taken over
    • in 5 years ryanair is the largest airline in europe by pax carried. Now number 2 after taking over BA… LH is still 1st.

    I would be happy with that lot

    I suppose. But a Air Caraibes A330 had been announced but did not show up, so I was quite disappointed at that. It came in today, but did not go to AMS myself.

    Hopefully I’ll catch it later cause Holland EXEL is using it for a few weeks while one of their 767s is undergoing maintenance.

    Is it just me, or does DUS get more and more heavies? I can remember the days when the DUS-forum would be counting down the days to a 747. Nowadays whenever I see photos from DUS a Kalitta 747 or An-124 is there.

    Great shots! Love the An-124.

    Tenthije,

    You being Dutch? should know that KLM had PH-BUH converted from a 200 to a 200SUD then converted it to a 300SF. This being a model never offered by Boeing.

    Not only am I dutch, I’m right too! :diablo:

    The plane still is officially a ‘200SUD and not a ‘300. The SUD already states that the upper deck was lengthened. You’re right that the designations is SF and not F like I said. Therefore the official designation is B747-206B/SUD/SF and to make it complete I’ll through in the construction number as well: 21110/271. I’m not quite sure what the B stands for.

    Anything else? :diablo: (I love that smilie :D)

    The leading edges between the engine and fuselage look larger becaue of the shadow underneath it. The shadow of the leading edge between the engines disappears between more shadows so the illusion of depth is less strong.

    Also, you can see part of the underside of the inner leading edes. You can’t see them at the outer leading edges. This may acount for a bit as well.

    And last but not least, the leading edges at the front are slightly wider. Not as much as the photo implies though.

    The 742F is not that rare indeed. The 742SUD/F is rare. The MD-11 is rare because martinair was the only one to buy the freighters (or was it combi’s?) straight from MDD. Hence the different designation of the plane type. Since then a lot of ’11s have had a conversion, but PH-MCS was there first.
