RE: Pic Of The Day-MD 82!
Brilliant effect!
RE: BWIA A340 first time at LHR pic
Brilliant aircraft, colour scheme and acceptable location!
RE: Condor
The first Thomas Cook aircraft was an ex-JMC A320 wasn’t it? Is thomas cook going to takeover JMC as well? Bearing in mind they are the same company.
RE: EZY737 makes “precautionary landing” at EGNT t
I wonder if we’ll see that one on ITV’s Airline!!
RE: SIZE MATTER’S?
Great pics! I’ve not been lucky enough to get close to an aircraft of that size but last summer in the Dominican Republic, there was an Antonov 124 which was absolutely huge – fantastic pics once again!
RE: It’s easy Kab
Kabir, I didn’t understand what you were talking about on MSN, but I see now! I’ve done a couple of them and as someone has said, you just keep the shutter open for longer and it picks everything up. If using a conventional camera, use an SLR… it’s probably only possible with one these.

RE: DC-10 Funny Pic
That’s dreadful,
I am quite shocked that flights are still continuing as normal around the wreckage and that the DC-10 hasn’t been cornered off to prevent prying eyes or photographers!

RE: A nice one
Austrian Airlines A330 – brilliant!
Congratulations on your 1000th post Kabir.
RE: pets on board
I agreed with fat people situation but for this, I disagree. A fat person requires two seats and so should be made to pay for them.
I suppose if a pet is to be carried in the cabin and the cost is similar to that of a passenger fare, they should be entitled to have a seat.
One thing, airlines may be conscious of pet hair over the seats which may put passengers off – but if you pay such a ridiculous sum to carry your furry friends with you, you should be enititled to better storage space other than under your seats. The space under the seat is yours, it is included in the cost of your ticket because if your hand luggage will not fit in the overhead lockers, you are told to put it underneath your seat – it’s crazy!
RE: Pic Of The Day-MD 11
Fantastic pic..
RE: THE MOST PHOTOGENIC PASSENGER PLANE?
I’d agree with the MD-11/DC-10 and best of all, the 767!
RE: New long-haul airline from LGW?
Hello there,
I’m not here to save the day and put you all out of your misery by revealing all, because nothing is showing up. I’ve searched for “HArt Air” and had no luck and checked out 2002 press releases from BAA.
The only *new* charter airline I could find which started operations at Gatwick from April 6th was called Astraeus (http://www.flyastraeus.com/intro.htm). They operate the 737-700 and the 737-300. Here’s what they say about their routes – “Astraeus intends to operate to a wide variety of destinations throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. Details of our destinations will be produced on this page in the near future”.
I hope someone can come up with an answer to this because it’s interesting stuff, something which I may benefit from in the future.
RE: Last flight of the BWIA tristar from london
Ohh… that’s a shame. The L-1011 Tristar is one of those amongst my long list of favoutie aircraft!
I think the A340 is a good replacement for the tri-jets, but I’d be even happier if it was a 767 🙂 Oh, how I love the 767-300 (I’ve said that twice today)!
