    CDG’s claim to fame in the spotters community (aside from its horrible transferring)

    Air Plus Comet has painted this plane up with a FC Barcelona logo. I hope no one is a fan or Réal!

    Air India taxiing by at a very close distance. My digicam has a 48mm lense but could still not handle a side-on shot without cutting of either the nose or the tail or both. Hence taken slightly at an angle. I could of course have stepped back, but you’d have to contend with some spotter’ backs.

    1. Beech 1200, Titan
    already discussed and explained really well by “Wannabe pilot”.

    2. Embraer 145, BMI
    still not sure about the airline, but most people seem to think it is BMI so I will go along.

    3. B757, Air 2000 (new livery)
    already discussed and, dare I say it, quite easy to recognise

    4. Saab 340, British Airways (or franchise)
    This one still had some doubt by some of you, hopefully the pic below will clear any doubt.

    This plane is definately not a Jetstream because 1) the plane is too large and 2) the planes nose is way too small.

    I now think (KNOW) it is a BA. The livery is quite clear once you know what you are looking at. The speedmark can be seen behind the cockpit window. The coral blue line in the pic is the red part of the speedmark. The grey part just underneath is the dark blue part of the speed mark. Of course the same colours go for the tail.

    5. Its an airbus alright, AIRLINE???
    I am still not convinced it is either Air Malta (where is the cross on the tail, and what is the white spot and while we are at it, where is the cheatline), Swiss (also, where is the cross and what does the white part do there). It probably ain’t Air 2000 either because its colours on the tail are wavy and here the colours ain’t wavy. So, what is it?

    Ryanair’ latest attempt at saving weight and money, carrying less petrol, proves to be a failure.

    They indeed fly ‘300s to Niederrhein. It is quite dead for now, you won’t see a lot. The occaisional private plane and Ryanair. Maybe if you are lucky VBird A320 and a medevac helicopter.

    in reply to: Why don't airlines go for new B744's? #642661

    Airlines still do, albeit in small numbers.

    KLM had a new one delivered just last year. And then KLM had 2 new B747ERFs, AF has had a few as well and QANTAS too. Those are just the ones I can think of right not.

    Basically two reasons that sales have become sluggish:
    * the economy does not really favour really very large aircraft now. Many airlines see surviving as their first priority, buying new very large aircraft is very risky. Buying a smaller A330 or B777 is more prudent.
    * Maybe other airlines are waiting to see how the A380 will perform. If favourable they may get the A380, and otherwise the B744 will still be available. Also, maybe the airlines are waiting for Boeings response to the A380. A update of the B744? (and I mean a bit more extensive an update then just adding ER)

    robbelc:

    one word of advice, if you intend to visit some of the places outside the terraces DON’T!

    This weekend there will be a strike by the public transport (bus + train + tube + …). There will be only a very downgraded service so f you get stuck somewhere you may be stuck for the remainder of the holiday.

    The strike will be on saturday only.

    Sunday should be okay, so if you want instructions on how to get to runay 06/24 (kaagbaan) or 09/18 (Mac Donalds) by bus just e-mail me at [email]petertenthije@yahoo.com[/email]
