Any idea what the future holds for the stored DC8s?

Steve

Well, thanks for all the replies (Thks also Matt for the link – looks very good).
My partner suggested a day out there as a birthday treat and even if the weather is not that great and there is nothing fantastic movements wise, I have not been there before and I always take the view that a trip to an airport is a bit like s*x – even when its bad, its still pretty good. 😀

does that mean that if your trip to an Airport is REALLY exciting its all over in a few minutes:diablo: :diablo: :diablo:

I cant see why the F22 is listed as the best from 07 onwards as they are still not yet in service fully and serviceable. I would go for the FA18 EF.

It visited Manchester on the 22 May 05, boy did I do the 100m to the raised platform in about 9 seconds. It was a charter unfortunatly.

128.05 is a good starting point for traffic climbing out of or into MAN. You will then find it easy to pick off other frequencies as MAN hand the traffic off.

The EU would never allow a merger of BA and British Midland Airways. This would be a disaster for British and European travelers. While a merger between BA and AA would be remarkable, the US government will never allow it. Even if it passed the US authorities, the EU would force the two to give up LHR slots. They will never agree to this.

If this were to happen BMI would go the way of every BA franchise operator, bust. BA would cherrypick the routes it wanted and its LHR slots. BMI would then be wound up.

Manx – Bust, Loganair – Bust (almost but struggling back), City – Sold to Fly BE, Go – Sold to Ryanair.

Please BMI dont dance witht he devil.
