That would be G-POWD. Same aircraft has also been used by BA between LHR and JFK In the last few weeks.

Perhaps she’s going to be converted to a fire fighting aircraft? It was recently passed in Canada that all fire fighting aircraft with more than two engines must be turbo probs. That’s why Buffalo bought the EX Reeve Allutian *sp* aircraft two years ago. Though there Dc-4 tankers were flying last year on fire suppression flights.

I’d imagine Canada is the place to Go for Electra parts now, as far as I know of all the flying electras in the world bar the one remaining Atlantic aircraft are in Canada. Four for buffalo and an unknown to me number flying for a company called air spray I think used soley as fire supression aircraft.

May I also add that the owner if Buffalo airways Joe Mcbryan was at Coventry this week to over see the sale of the aircraft, no doubt he’ll have purchased a large amount if spares as well.

anyone know if the Buffalo bellyflop landing features in the current Ice pilots series

It does indeed, a whole episode is dedicated to it! Fantastic coverage.

The aircraft has now been repaired and is back in service.

Great shots!!

Mrtotty, sounds like you flew on two of the older aircraft! I was on board both of the aircraft shown in the above images they were both quite nice! Especially A6-ECP with it’s first class suites!

I’m just trying to be clear on the extra legroom seats available on the B757 MAN to HER next summer (flights LS911 and LS912).

The Jet2 booking system show extra legroom emergency exit seats as 12D,E; 33B,C and 33D,E These numbers don’t tie-up exactly with seatplan.com but may be because of missing row 3 and 13 on Jet2. Do the Jet2 booking system seat numbers seem correct ? Does anyone know ? Also, do these seats have a bulkhead or partial bulkhead immediately in front of them ?

Finally, the front section seems to be nearly all extra legroom seats : 1D,E,F through to 8A,B,C. The booking system shows 8D,E,F as standard seats and all row 9 as ‘reserved for wheelchairs’. How does this work ? I’ve never seen this on a seating plan. How do you get 8D,E,F standard in an extra legroom section of the aircraft.

Any help greatfully received.

Thanks

Jet2.com’s 757’s have various different exit configs! Nothing to do with Jet2 its just how they were built! May i suggest you wait until nearer your flight departure date to book your seats! By then there should be a rough idea of which 757 is doing your flight!

787 to visit MAN and LHR!!

Apparently a 787 is due into MAN on the 3rd September at 11.35am, Stopping for the day then visiting LHR the next day!

There alright! Bit loud at the back but thats standard with a rear engined aircraft.

Snack and a drink is what you’ll get on board! Try to leave you carryons by for Delivery at the aircraft stairs when you get to AMS Ie trolley bags over head luggage space runs out quick on the fokkers!

I see you snapped JEDP (Dodgy Paint Job), pass me the bucket please 😀

Haha it was operating out of NCL two weeks ago i was talking to a Flybe pilot who calles it Delta Pollution! I believe it use’s slightly more fuel than the Average Dash owing to its paint job Kind of ironic!!
