    777 or 747 most probably. No 767s I can think of in Pakistan.

    Stelios still pulls most of the strings in Easyjet anyway, this is more a matter of getting the most money rather than control over the business I think.
    Due to the volatility of the stock market, and Stelios’ other business “ventures” I think this is quite a shrewd business move.

    The ones stated above will just be external models, the one that BMI-Star mentions will include a detailed panel as well, something I assume Skycruiser is after?
    If you want the best though then you need to buy PS1, a standalone 744 sim, but thats about £300 :S

    SE-ISL seems to have been with Aurigny on 2 long lease periods now, one last year and a very extended one this year. It must be costing them a fortune, and its not as if there aren’t any surplus ATRs lying around?

    Easily, Aer Lingus fly DUB-LAX non stop. I really don’t see a MAN-LAS starting, yields would be pathetic, and business/first non existant.

    At LGW in the peak period you can wait for ages at the runway before departing, but in the afternoons the place is absolutely dead!

    I will add to Robs post by saying I did see OY-SVT – twice in fact! Was rather interesting, the first ATP to visit Farnborough since the airshow last time round, after that they were banned from the airport in the new liscence, not sure how they managed to get this one in! It was also the first BA colours I had seen at Farnborough, and I think probably the first ever world tail to visit as well? To add to the interest the ATP (operated by Sun Air Scandinavia) routed Billund-Farnborough-Filton-Cambridge-Billund!

    Its because they are operated by Air Atlanta, which is an Icelandic operator. Lots of airlines have wet leases from them.

    Nice shots both of you, Moondance, in your second selection, where are those all taken?

    Yeah the TU154 flight is in Farnborough Airshow week so is a no-no for me as well.
    Unlike the majority of people who will be doing this trip (because they don’t want to go to Iran/Syria, nor are members of Middle Eastern Royal Families) I would quite happily go to Iran or Syria, just don’t have the money to do so, and this works out a hell of a lot cheaper!

    No idea, it says they are allocated at check in, earlier the better and all that possibly.

    For the trip either demand will be so great it is already fully booked, or no-one will want to do it and it will be cancelled! No way of telling!

    TransStates ERJs did indeed come from SWISS, most operators of the ERJ in Europe opted out of the thrust reversers in weight issues I believe.
