Thanks laddies!!
Good to put a face to the name,Peter. Have met you at the gates a few times too.
With a better angle could have got the 757 completely under the rainbow.
Cheers Phil,
Great if you were a spotter, not so great to pay stupid amounts of money for a flat at a prestige Docklands site to have constant jets flying past your window hehe (future nimby’s perhaps??)
great pics , i wernt there sunday afternoon , have you tried going to the other side of the the runway for some shots ?
TBH Caz, i never have the time, i’m usually just on a flying visit (no pun)also, on a nice day you would be shooting into the sun, would have liked to get some shots of the biz ramp, which was absolutely heaving today (but that would mean walking…no no no no :diablo: )
The Fokker fairly attacks the runway heavy nose down till about 10 feet before flaring…crazy pilots :diablo:
Would’nt mind flying out of it myself….get a good view of Canary Wharf hehe.
Cheers Sam also. 😀
Yes,true. but if you remember over half the aircraft at GLA were bringing in ticketless fans to crowd out the city,to watch their team in the biggest club final on the planet, IIRC in 2004 UEFA final was at Gothenburg (Valencia v Marseille) seem to remember there was about 12 football flights and some biz.
Not slagging the uefa cup, when Celtic went to Seville it was fantastic, but, it really is nothing compared to the big one.
In MAN’s case there will be less as I think the City of Manchester stadium is smaller than Old Trafford. In GLA’s case I think we can expect the same as a few years ago as its at the same stadium so obviously same capacity.
Afraid there won’t be anything near the traffic GLA,PIK and EDI got for the CL final, the UEFA cup is just nowhere near as prestigious as the CL final.
Thanks James.
unfortunately i am tied to the work phone,so have to spring to attention when it goes 🙁 (like today,was at LCY,just leaving to head for a few hours at Luton in glorious sunshine,then…..the phone!!! 😡 😡 so i find myself home at 8pm) 😮
Thanks Peter, yes it was, just pulled up at gate 4 as the G- A109 started to taxi out,followed by the Jetstream,as the citation was marshalled in. then duty called and off into the sunset i went hehe.
Very good Dan, moon looks huge in that shot.
Sppoky stuff,Kevin.
Good shots too.
Now start thinking of 4 A380s coming to GLA one breaking and the AN225 coming to the rescue 😀 😀 😀
Ahh,DJ nice to see you aboard key.
Good shots, seen them on TWA,not too big at all good size.
Keep em coming.
Very nice.
Is it a norm for the red sparrows to perform at NCL??
Top selection Lance

Good shots Pete.
James GSM is 3 letter code for Flyglobespan
Not too keen on it myself
Of note,that it is is in the same colour scheme as Virgin Galactics new space craft thingy.
Aaahh but does it have a golf course between its runways 😀 😀
