Is it that time again? I thought the elections where not for another 8 months? Or am I being too cynical now? :p

Alright, just heard that EAL_King has not booked a flight yet, so it seems this meet is off as well. If you want to come fine with me, I’ll be there to drive you around but you might well be the only one to join me.

As an aside, at airliners.net there is a meet-up being organised as well. This meet-up will go through unlike all the proposed meets here. Might be of interest as well, it’s on the NON_AV forum under the header AMAZING AMS MEET.

Never mind, i’ve just seen it in the 2nd picture of reply 7. It was there.

nice photos!

oh dear

I have not got many sunset shots as i live quite far away from the airport. I always arrive too late and have to go too early. Maybe that this winter there’ll be more luck with the shorter days.

1) LHR
2) LHR
3) AMS main tower.
4) London. I had hoped to make it to Tower Bridge to make a picture of this sunset with the bridge as a frame, but the sun set too fast so I had to settle for this. Shame really. I believe this is the bridge to Cannon Street station?

Another aspect to look at is fatigued pilots – which is a bit invalid because the miltary do it, but they don’t need to think about passenger comfort do they.

In the military they got a nice solution for that. They are called “go-pills”. A dutch documentary revealed that they are no more than XTC (I thought that was it, but it was definately an illegal drug). USAF pilots take lots of them apparantly.

The reg was originally black characters sprayed/applied directly on to the engine cowling, it only appeared as white characters on the black background after re-emerging from one of the BMI maintenance hangars, not sure what the relevance of that is, but there you go! 🙂

The new registration has probably already been painted underneath the sticker. I suppose that adding a black sticker over it would make it harder for the new livery to be seen.

A stretched 737 maybe, to fill the void between the 737-900 and the 7E7?

As Whiskey Delta said you’d have to stretch the gear. This will be very complicated because not only has the gear to be extended, it will have to be moved further away from the fuselage as well. The gear is already as alrge as it can be. Any larger and the two gears would hit eachother.
