RE: Terminal 5 plans maybe shelved.
Erm if BAA raise landing fees who will pay to use terminal apart from BA whos prices already are hgih enough. Would people like Virign go to Gatwick.
I am sure the residents are all in favour of the CAA on this one!
RE: Heathrow
Yep thats a poor excuse when but I am not 100% sure if BAA are in it i know BA, VS, EZ etc are in it
RE: Nepal Crash Kills 18 People
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 26-08-02 AT 09:13Â AM (GMT)]keltic try a landing in a Boeing 737-800 at Dublin airport with torential rain and a fogged-in airport (we were last flight allowed in!) when the runway is completly covered in water, the plane is a full load with full cargo (full payload in other words!) and the pilot is landing for the first time on a passenger flight!
Well ill tell u that kinda landing aint nice and from a passenger point as the reverse thrust didnt seem to work and we nearly ended up off the runway from this pilots sterring! He didnt releaise when we touched down the plane would pull to the side of the runway so he would need to conteract with rudder pedals, well he didnt realise and he recovered just in time!
Very scary landing 🙂 😀 🙂 😀
RE: My Farnborough Photos (if not a little late)!
One thing I would like to know is how to some people who post pics on Airliners.net etc get really good views of aircraft departign on themonday. From angles of photos and the fact there is a perimeter fence it would mean they would be taking pictures over a very very very long distance (1/5 of a mile i say). They must have got access to the compound as very few cameras can take a good close up 1/5 of a mile away…
Did anyone here know of how to gain access the following day to watch aircraft departing?

RE: New Newark Name
I bet the US government wanted to look better by renaming an airport to somthing patriotic so that the Americans would be proud to travel in the air!
They probably wanted the closest one to NY when they were thinking but the Americans probably forgot about JFK already being named after someone so that couldnt change its name!
RE: Interesting article….
Yes I keep meaning to buy that book!
RE: BMi and EasyJet in competition with each other!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 25-08-02 AT 05:55Â PM (GMT)]Lol wonder if Airport Security nabbed him afterwards or has he got his binoculars the wrong way around and is slighty deaf and thought the A340 was a few miles out!

RE: British withdrawal from Northern Ireland
A) If the UK gives Norn Ireland to Ireland UVF,LVF,UFF,Red Hand Defenders etc will attack UK and Ireland.
B) If they dont the IRA will continue to attack.
C) THe main dispute is in Belfast, which i am only allowed to say so much on. What I can say is, the Catholics and Protestants live (in conflict areas) cloesly knit together.
This means that as long as they hate each other (fueled by their community leasder (which are on the Protestant side the UUP, DUP etc and people like Johnny “Mad Dog” Addair who is a member of the UVF and on the catholic side, SDLP, Sinn Fienn and the IRA)
There is no long term solution to problems in Northern Ireland as it has been leading up to this for many years now. Withdrawing Britsh would make no differance.
You can get an Irish passport if u live in UK and you dont need a passport because the UK and Ireland have a agreement regarding crossign the boarders.
The Police Force, PSNI – not RUC (Police Service of Northern Ireland), has been in trouble for a long time. These are to be feared to get worse as lots of officers have described the new chief constable, hugh orde – arrives in Sep 02, as in competant and “odd”.
THe army are at the highest levels and are they due to no police officer being available!
THe force needs new recruits but over 1000 catholic women who applied and lots of other prod/cath males failed medicals!
I hope this “in-lightens” you to Norn Ireland. Ill answer any more queries.
