How come you were down here? Flying? Spotting?

Yay yet more good news for Stansted. I’m still waiting to catch an Air Polonia, the only one I have seen here so far is when I was up the control tower, but couldn’t get a shot. Well fingers crossed with these extra flights! 😀

Hmmm, quite a difficult one, but I’d probably have to say this one…..taken on the 24th after her last flight.

Great photos Kev, particularly like the livery on that Air China. I’d really like to get upto MAN, but the cheapest I can get there I think is around £50 on Virgin trains, or £120 on Eastern Airways!

Great pictures, particularly like the BY 767 and the MYT DC-10. I have a push-fit model of that DC-10!:D

How much runway does an AN 124 take to land???

The An-124 takes 3000m (9840ft) to take-off generally but this must be full load as I think the Liverpool runway is only around 2500m long. However, that isn’t the main concern. The main problem is that it has to have atleast 4 minutes at the end of the runway to prepare it’s engines prior to take-off, and so there has to be a large gap in the arrivals to allow for this. It’d be ok at an airport such as Liverpool when there is not all that much traffic, but at Stansted it is now a problem. When I first started spotting up Stansted they were in there all the time, but now they are slowly being pushed out because the airport is too busy to have it sitting around on the runway.

Ahh shame I’m not a couple of years older. However, we get lots of these oppurtunities at Air Cadets, and so hopefully I might be lucky nearer to the time. Wys, you mentioned in another thread about going to ATC, how good does it really look on a CV?

Great report, and as I’m sure Michael will remind you, put it on webwings! 😉

Argh all these flight reports! Seems like nearly everyone on here has flown over the past few days part from me! (Well aerobatics on Sat doesn’t count so shhhhh 😀 )

Great photos and an excellent read, thanks! 😀 How much zoom does your camera have? It looks like you got quite a nice close-up of that Kilkenny one, or are they just very close to the fence?

Great report and brilliant photos! Really like the A330 pic, and the one of the Twotters. I can’t recall seeing any of them at all when I visited GLA back in December, where do they usually park? Is it round the far side of the ‘Lo-co’ pier, near to where the Euromanx usually comes and parks?

Great pictures everyone and great reports. I always thought that the symbol on the tail was a harp, until quite recently I was told that it was an angles of some sort. Knowing that, I still think it looks like a harp! I’ll have to try and come along to the next meet which involves flying, this one was just quite difficult because there was a possibility of me going to Australia this week.

I was 5 years old, Air Uk Leisure 767 from Gatwick to Orlando with a 25 hour delay (something wrong with the windshield wiper).

Since then I have had 54 flights, 48 of them commercial. This will soon be made to 60 flights once I have finished my trek to Borneo in May! 😀

Wysi, I know what you mean about the AEF videos! I weny flying on Saturday with them for about the 4th time, but of course now we use the Grob Tutors instead. I like the way that when they simulate climbing out of the plane in an emergency, the canopy just magicly lifts of the plane, then just disappears off the back of the screen! I thought there’d be lots of people on here that go to ATC, are there? And the parachutes aswell, they really hurt! We look like troops of penguins marching across the tarmac towards the planes wearing those!:D

Excellent report, but a shame that you had such an unlucky day. Sounds similar to my venture when i went to Heathrow during the Summer, then the London Underground broke down just as I was meant to be heading home. Imagine trying to get right across the middle of London, to somewhere 60 miles away, in rush hour, with no trains! Then when i did finally get across London , I found a bus that could get me to the nearby Stansted airport. Then i had to walk to my home town, about 4 or 5 miles away in the early hours, to find that my bike I had left at the train station in the morning had been stolen 🙁
