ok, biggest PAX aircraft

Granted. At least until the A380 flies. 😉

The second city is much better than Manchester or Liverpool

What a daft statement! 😉

What makes one city “better” than another anyway?

Nice livery, Sandy.

Now put those claws away……….. 😉

Here’s a “what-if” for you….

What if the USA had entered the war on the side of Germany?

Nice pics – but the An225 is the biggest, surely?

I do have many more photos taken at Ringway during this period if anyone is interested .

Is the Pope a Catholic?

More! More!!!! 😀

The same would apply equally whether the additional flight took off from EDI or from GLA, RIPConcorde.

Although I feel I have to remind you that it was Sandy, and not I, that mentioned the advantage of GLA’s longer runway. :diablo:

Two takeoffs for one service do not make economic sense when the two cities in question are so close together with such good land transport links.

It’s not THAT obvious! The economics still don’t look right.

Why not just start the additional service at GLA and let the punters travel?

Hiring a couple of coaches on a contract basis would surely be cheaper per diem than paying for the fuel consumed in the takeoff from EDI – bearing in mind the amount of fuel it actually takes to accelerate a 757 or 767 along a runway until it reaches take-off speed and then to sustain it in level flight.

Or is aviation fuel free at EDI? 😀
