Interesting… Theoretically it could happen, still quite unbelievable it has.

(as I haven’t studied optics yet!)

You don’t know what you’re missing… 😀

Saw this a couple of days ago – it does make you wonder…

Hi all
Whilst in tenerife we had an apartment which looked upon the flightpath into tfs. Out of interest is there an international standard on how the lights on an aircraft should flash or are they just randomised?
Also on the way out and back I noticed the engines were producing a vapour trail. What actually causes this as I have noticed on some aircraft trails don’t appear ans some they do. No doubt it has something to do with the weather conditions? :confused:

Take a look here: http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/electronics/q0263.shtml

I presume the vapor you are talking about is a contrail – An artificial cloud created by an aircraft; caused either by condensation due to the reduction in air pressure above the wing surface or by water vapor in the engine exhaust)

Some great offers there, unfortunatelty most only go up to mid June.

The key is getting a cheap flight from the UK – sometimes the onward flight can be as little as £10. (Booking in one go)

Wow… I can’t believe QTR made it!

The worst airline i’ve flown on! (It does make you wonder about Syktrax ratings)

Good to see ETD got an ‘award’ too.

Dan,

T3 is a great looking building but apart from a ‘few’ shops nothing different to any other terminal for a layover. The airport does have free internet (which is common in the Middle East) but doubt that can keep you satisfied for 7h.

If I were you i’d go for the 2h option. The new cabins look fantastic too (777) – I think they’re slightly different on the 777 to the A380.

Sam

I agree with you on that one!

Very nice…
