Yep, a happy Sandwell council tenant! 😀

This is a complete shot in the dark but Air 200 B757?

Not even sure if Air 2000 were around then! 😀

The same can be said for the mammoth amount of flights between Birmingham and Dublin today and for the next few days all to do with the Cheltnam (spell?) race festival…..

Inbound today!

07:30 FR 6621 Dublin – Arrived 07:12
07:30 FR 662 Dublin – Arrived 07:16

Well great selections from everyone, I’m a bit hooked with my AI 744 mainly because it’s incredibly frame-rate freidnly but with fantastic detail!

Anyway did a short flight from Edwards Air Force Base to Las Vegas McCarren, enjoy! 😀

Rotating off runway 22

Away we go!

Climbing….and got the beacon 😎

Crusing along, lovely day 😀 .

Desending down for an ILS approach to runway 25L, about to pass over the Hoover Dam.

Very short final for runway 25L and you can see quite a mammoth queue for departure on 25R! I haven’t installed an AFCAD yet for the multiple runway useage (lazy I know :diablo: ).

This has come out quite small :mad:, must be the bloody file size.

And to finish off the best angle for a B747!

Quite intimidating isn’t it!?

I usually reduce the ground graphic levels to give a more smooth performance which I prefer or which I have to use because of my computer!

Seems BHX have dismissed the report….

Birmingham International Airport (BIA) has today dismissed a report by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, which implies that Dangerous levels of toxic gas have been detected at BIA, as misleading.

Despite the Airport having an on-site monitoring station, the results from which are independently verified, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy chose to use NO2 data gathered by the side of the M42, and then bizarrely attempted to link the results with Birmingham International Airport. Over 90% of the traffic on the M42 is not related to BIA

Determined to meet and improve on all statutory requirements, BIA has, since 1995, stationed a monitoring site on the airfield, which is overseen by both Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, and the City of Birmingham Council. No exceedences of NO2 have ever been recorded.

John Morris, Head of Corporate & Community Affairs at BIA said, “I am no Scientist, yet even I can see that to rely on an off-site survey when better data are available, is likely to produce erroneous and inaccurate results. Using a survey station plonked on top of the M42, when we have an independently-verified station on site, is going to give misleading results so far as the airport activity is concerned. Over 90% of the traffic on the M42 is not airport-related.

“I would imagine that other airports are also incensed – the report puts Exeter, with 671,000 passengers a year, in the same league as Manchester, with 20 Million passengers a year. Clearly something is a bit iffy about their report!”

Must say I really like the way it’s put :D.

any one got any ideas, never seen this before looks like an embraer145 but with engines on the wings??

Hmmmm very interesting! 😀

Tis a fantasty model I think, looks like a Saab 2000 with jet engines but with a fuselage similer to the ERJ-145 and with winglets! must say though that is the first time I’ve seen that.

Great selection but it slowed down my broadband a hell of a lot!

Hope you don’t mind but I resized a couple of my faves :).

Ooops too late! looks like we all had a blast at resizing 😀 .
