I’m flying on them tomorrow from BRS – BFS and back. I’m hoping for a 737-700 as I’ve always been on the -300’s before.
Very nice photos as usual WD!! Well done. I like the new livery of this Independence air…
I saw two of them at Filton recently. they had the engines off of them, very sad……
Yes, BRS has a very very short runway indeed! Living right under the flightpath for runway 09 I get to see all the traffic and the only 767 I can remeber was just one BY 762 on a special charter for something a few years ago. Also there was a MON A300 and a weird white A300 operating for Prime Airways (now bust)
In the news here there has been talk for a few years about the USA to BRS direct service. The sort of time they were saying was Summer/Autumn 2005. The two main airlines were the ones people have already mentioned, CO and AA. I’m not sure about the routes at all, but I can remeber New York being mentioned for sure. They were said to be using the 757 or 767 but unless they exted the runway before their arrival in summer 2005 I don’t see how it’s possible really. A 767 full with fuel and pax on such a short runway seems impossible.
Bristol is supposed to become the main airport for the South West so it’s not that surprising that BRS is likely to be getting more long range services to the USA.
That really is a great shame to see the jaguar logojet retired….
I hope we some FR 738 logojets soon but they just won’t be smae on a 738 compared to the classic 732…

The LH website is very accurate on a/c and route information I’ve always found! It’s normally the expedia website that gets it wrong the most out of all sites.
Freaks! If that’s all they’ve got to do in their sad little lives, making a website telling people not to fly an airline…well I rest my case completely. How would they have liked it if their aircaft had crashed into the atlantic ocean with them onboard instead? still wouldn’t be happy I suppose.
Sauron,
Some people, especially those of Germany, may and I’m sure do find your postings on here offensive and somewhat racist to a point.
You appear to lack knowledge of many subjects you are talking about and quite frankly you ooze ignorence and don’t care about the feelings of others.
I’m quite surprised you have the cheek to post your views on here. Everyone has the right to say what they think and believe in but I think your views are so uneducated and stupid you shouldn’t bother even posting them on here. You seem just so easy to make generalisations of a country and nation, whether it’s Germans or people form Islamic places. You shouldn’t generelise anyone/thing.
Why don’t you just take a look back at some of your posts? Believe me, I’m not the sort of person to just call something racist for the sake of it!! I like in the UK where political corectness has gone completely OTT in my opinion so I’m just saying I don’t just call anyone racist for the sake of it like some ‘do-gooders’ do.
As for the KKK being so long ago it doesn’t matter, well just because it’s a long time ago doesn’t mean it’s not a valid point in the context.
Best : Edi / Lgw
Ok : Brs / Fra / Rmi
Worst: Lhr / Nap / Vce
The thing that annoys me the most in aviation by far is when you turn up at hte check-in desk to hear that there are no window seats available anymore. That’s a shame, but it’s ok, just bad luck but what really annoys me is when you actually get onto the a/c and your stuck in a isle seat and there is some stupid f****r hoging the window seat reading/on a laptop or even worse closing the window blind so you can’t see anything at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That happened on an GO flight from EDI-BRS and this stupid man sat there hogging a window seat whilst reading for the whole flight!! they shouldn’t be allowed to do it!!!
Also when you recline your seat and someone deliberatly starts digging their feet into your seat or hitting it. That happened on a LH FRA-LHR flight this year. it was really uncomfortable for me, but I didn’t put it back just on principle of him hitting my seat. He was really fat, that’s his problem not mine. Anyone who’s travelled on LH knows the seat pitch is reasonable compared so some, so if he wasn’t so obease then he wouldn’t have had a problem..
Everyone will agree that there are no words to describe this horror. No cause can justify this.
As someone said above , those scum have nothing to do with Islam , God or whoever.
It would be an heavy mistake to associate all muslim people with those freaks.All my sympathy to the family.
I couldn’t agree more with you Hand!!!
They are just filthy disgusting freaks who quite frankly don’t even have the right to live on this earth after what they did but people cannot kill them because you are doing what they did although the circumstances are so different it may be justified to kill them afterall. According to some peoplpe two wrongs don’t make a right, bit is that true?
OK. Lucky guy
wsiwgy,
I honestly hope you do really well in all of your tests and exams and wish you all the best. The tests sound horrible but I’m sure it’s woth it at the end!!
I wish I could swap places with you and I could be training for the A340!!! and you could go down my local comp with the yobs and time-waisters and useless teachers who don’t have a clue…. I bet your not tempted.
“with Virgin Sun- who get the award for handing out the worst airline breakfast ever”
no! it’s got to be MYT for the worst breakfasts ever!!! I felt ill just looking at it.
I’ll go to Corfu one day for the airport if nothing else!
wysiwyg, tell us more! It’s very rare I get to converse with a pilot!
