Yeah, if you are going to Manchester, get there early, that way you will see a good variation of bigger aircraft from abroad and while you are there, be sure to pick up a copy of Flightcheck from the aviation shop as it gives you all flights and the expected aircraft types for that flight.

What a clown this guy is. What on earth, after any amout of beer makes a man think “I know, i’m not taking this abuse from the crew, I’ll just open the door and hop out and catch the next one” IDIOT!!!!!! Total disregard for other passengers the selfish **** They should be banned from flying FULL STOP!!!

Oh it gets my back up:dev2:

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!!! Have they still got the Douglas’s in service??

I flew back from Larnaca last year on OOOZ FCA and I got to say, I was a little concerned hahaha. There was an od vibrating whining noise coming from the No.2 engine all the way back. I’m still here though and it is still flying safely.

On another note of aging Boeings, what about XL’s 767-200 G-BOPB, that has got to be over 20 year old coz I flew to Heraklion on that when it belonged to Britannia when i was a nipper. Still it flies!!!!

I’ll post a pic of it that i took last weekend.

To state the obvious but what about the slippery slopes of Innsbruck or some of them high altitude ones in Peru and othe rSouth American countries? Some scary ones up there.

Well, its a good job that Jade Goody isn’t one of the celebs then, isn’t it!!

Would they charge her for 2 seats????:p

There had to be a good deal of skill involved in that – manouveroing an A300 with the engines alone, no control surfaces, I wouldn’t like to try it. Think I would have a bit of a sweat on as well, if I had been the pilot 😀
