There is mine. Incase anyone is wondering…..I have family in New Zealand and was on my 8th visit this year 😮 I have taken many routes there and back, visiting a number of places on the way.

I can’t remember where I visited in Denmark and a couple of the routes may be off, but it roughly totals to 209,751 miles overall. Not bad considering I’m only 20

Streamlive S.360 vs Liberté MD-83

nice way to put it 😮

within a couple of days its already up to £10k 😮

“Hi, yes I would like to make a bid. My name? It’s……er…..it’s…..Mr I. P. Freely.”

In all seriousness though, excellent idea. Fantastic opportunity and all in a good cause.

Whenever I go back to NZ I try and go ANZ and of course their route is LHR-LAX-AKL. Although I think in AW they said something about new agreements between Australasia and the UK? Meaning that ANZ for example could open up new routes into the UK if they wished in future.

Although I’ve never been able to afford to fly ANZ biz, Chris, I have flown econ a fair few times and could never fault the service ANZ have to offer. I think by the time you go ANZ should have rolled out their re-fitted 744’s on the LHR-LAX routes.

Sorry about that. The 154 was heading from Moscow to Barcelona over Switzerland and the I can’t quite remember where the 757 was coming from and going to, but it was heading over Switzerland as well at some point.

The 757 had requested to fly at level 360 (I think) due to the thinner air and was permitted. The two planes were then flying on the same level, perpendicular to each other and were on an (avoidable) collision course.

However due to maintenance at the Swiss ATC (sky-something), the controller was lacking several crucial systems as was not able to detect collision path fast enough. The 757 collision warning system told it to pull up, and the 154 system told it to descend. However the 154 crew asked Swiss ATC and because he was lacking systems, instructed the 154 crew to pull up also. This resulted in the collision of the two planes.

excellent pics, especially sky’s. the 124 is more aesthetically pleasing, but the 225 just has such a big ‘wow’ factor!
