very nice – and on the subject of tail illumination is it standard to have the tail lights on in flight or not? – certain airlines seem to use the system more than others, for example the B738s of BY and AEA a couple of years back used to fly a lot lower over here from further afield destinations that most a/c and they always seemed to have their tail illuminations on, but on other companies seem to vary – is there a SOP or is it pilots discretion!

well i’m sure they will be happy to stick Dutch if the Rekkof line ever starts up again – F70 first then possably F100.

As for other options, KLM Excel used the E145, and these soon ended up in Cameroon, wonder whos decision this was.

Also i understand that 4 BAe 146-300s will be returned to KLM shortly from Buzz as part of the Ryanair deal – will these be kept as a backup fleet or for ops into LCY? Will be interesting to see what happens to them!

There was talk about 12 months ago of them returning when the B733s came into KLMUK service from LBA, but we got the F100 bak!

Heres a pic of a 146 in the KLM Livery – a great liv on a very aesthetically pleasing a/c!

P.S. Welcome onboard Peter!

thats wkd – no blacktop runway there!

all the UK a/c are to go Dutch PH reggied. We’ve had a couple of KLM subs with B733 and Trasavia B733s in the past – not sure about now tho…

yea seen a few of these at Malaga last time i was there in October – the Iberia c/s looks so smart on em!

maybee it was just an Ad-hoc thing, like bmi do fairly regualr with excess a/c over the weekend?

Yak 11 – i’ve just started browsing here from AW – all i can say is u’re one lucky sod! – what a beautiful P-51 – whats the link do u actually fly her, and what about the Yak, another toy u use??
