I take it you havent all been to ZTH…..

I’ve driven there many times, but never had the ‘joys’ of the ‘terminal’.

Dan Air Boy = Victor Meldrew 😀

Indeed – take the old terminal at Palma, no air conditioning, inadequate and broken seating, dirty toilets…nostalgia ain’t what it used to be.

Proper pics later… 😀

If this is the ‘rush job’, looking forward to the proper ones.

Bear in mind, that as you approach the end of the summer charter season, many outbound flights (ie last flights out to summer-only destinations) are empty and classed as ferry flights – doesn’t really account for inbound ferries in September though.
Also, as the end of the season approaches, flights can be combined, but again, September seems a bit early for that, unless MYT are having a dire summer.

most Captains opted for backtracks

Part of a famous list of useless things in avaition (eg fuel in the bowser), is runway behind you – give me full length anyday, makes that potential rejected take off a touch less stressfull.

I’m sorry I cant answer your question, but don’t they also appear below the cockpit on Airbuses? Got this on a pic of mine…see the highlighted area.

I suspect you are confusing Static Discharge Wicks with Static ports for the air data system – they look like the static ports on the Airbus (but hey, I don’t drive them, so what do I know?)
The Static Wicks just ensure that any electric charge on the aircraft (be it from motion through the atmosphere or lightning strike) dissipates to the atmosphere (but, no I don’t know exactly HOW they work, but pretty simple I’m sure – higher charge on the aircraft, flowing to an area of lower charge around it?)

I think there’s more chance of a central airport freezing over due to the constant fog and gloom surrounding the Harthill area

I’m no expert on the micro-climate of Central Scotland, but GLA can always be relied on to fog out if conditions are right (low lying ground next to the Clyde) – and to keep things even handed, if the wind is westerly at 20 kts at GLA, you can be sure it is 30 kts at EDI, due to the funnelling effect of the Forth-Clyde valley.

PIK, on the other hand, has almost perfect weather (or at least rarely has fog) – there have been occasions, coming back into central England, when I have loaded fuel for PIK as an alternate, because the rest of the UK was in, or forecast to go into, fog.

LOL sorry typing error, thats all, my English isn’t that good, cos its my 2nd language, so excuse me for that 😉

Hope I didn’t offend, the typo was obvious and your meaning was perfectly clear (but then I have had this persistent image all day of the early morning Pontiff sweeping in across the Firth of Forth towards EDI)
