[updated:LAST EDITED ON 31-12-01 AT 06:22 PM (GMT)]I have flown from Leeds/Bradford before… With the Leeds Flying School. Sorry… I’m not being much help!!
Great to hear the news!! I’m a bit of an An-225 fan!! Would you say there is a market for such an aircraft? As the next step up from the An-124? I’d like to see it happen, but, personally I think the An-124 is going to be the biggest aircraft anyone will ever need.
Personally I think the only reason the Il-62 is still providing long-haul service is because the airlines cannot afford to replace them. Airlines like LOT have already replaced the Il-62 with the 767, and more will follow.
Have other Eastern bloc nations retired the type? I didn’t see the type mentioned in CSA’s fleet list so they will have gone the same way as LOT.
Is LHR allowed to take a few landings outside those hours?… Something around 10?? But these aircraft cannot be anything like the large 747 class aircraft.
The aircraft noise is only a problem with a minority of people though. If you did a survey around LHR, I would say that most people would say they’d got used to the noise.
Did the P-38’s poor performance have anything to do with the aircraft not being fitted with turbo-chargers. I remember the RAF testing a P-38 which performed badly because US policy didn’t supply turbo-charged aircraft under Lend-Lease. That was probably before the tests you talk of though.
That’s the picture used in Bill Gunstons “Encyclopedia of combat aircraft of WWII” (Or something like that) Isn’t it?? Is it operating out of Malta… I can’t remember!!
I travelled with Air Tours this summer… they made us buy the cans… that price quoted above sounds familiar. They give out Tea, Coffee, and orange squash with your meal. I can’t remember the food I got… can’t have been that bad then!!!!
