The aircraft needs 20 minutes to get down but falling at a rate of 1,500ft a minute, will be hit the ground in 18 minutes, so it won’t make the airport.

Is that right?

Absolutely brilliant photographs and huge selection, too. I really like the Air Tahiti Nui colour scheme, looks so tropical!

Gulf Air colour scheme looks nice(ish).

Great photos as per usual. It’s definitely not the end of the world if Airliners.net refuse photographs. They accept the visually boring ones because they are good quality. These are great and it’s not your loss if they aren’t accepted, but that of Airliners.net. 🙂

I done my work experience in year 11 of secondary school, 3 years ago.

We done ours in October and had to plan it ourselves. I started to look for a placement at the start of the year (Jan/Feb time) and wrote to British Airways. It took a good 6 weeks to get a reply and they told me that they had to keep them for those being educated locally.

Pathetic.. those who are missing out should just have to go elsewhere! :rolleyes:

If Low Cost carriers are going to behave in such a way, I cannot see low cost transport overtaking the larger, “real” carriers such as British Airways for example.

If I was ever going to fly low cost, it’d definitely be easyJet. Ryanair crack me up with their destinations… Barcelona-Girona especially! 🙂

Great photos and accounts of the day. Glad you all had a great time.

I’ll definitely be up for a Northern Meet some time around Christmas. Keep us posted.

Good news for Aer Lingus and nice to see their passengers being offered more variety.

Is there a chance with Dubrovnik route that British Airways and Aer Lingus will operate codeshare flights? I know LGW-BLQ is a codeshare, with British Airways flying the route all the time.
