You wouldn't say that if you had seen it depart. It was airborne before the runway downslope, so well before the touch down point on runway 32. It then levelled off and did a full length flypast down the runway before putting on full power to climb away once it cleared the runway. Really spectacular. All this followed taxiing all the way up to the cemetary end with one of the crew waving at the crowds through the roof hatch and then all the way back to the Horsforth end via the main taxiway and a lengthy wait for 3 or 4 inbound aircraft to land.Didn’t know our runway was long enough for somthing of this size......
The behaviour of some people is disgusting. There will probably be a backlash from these events and it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Council took some action that will spoil things for all airport enthusiasts.The have been reports on other social media outlets of people yesterday being disrespectful by going into the cemetery. In my mind its totally disgraceful and you cannot condone it!

We have had an A300, A330, DC10, B747/2 and B747/3 over the years, not to mention Concorde, so size is not a problem. Funnily enough I popped round to Cemetery Road yesterday afternoon. The roads and dam car park were totally rammed with cars and there were hundreds of people hanging around as if something interesting was due. One lad turned up and said 'so when is Concorde landing then?' Oh yes, those were the days.
Sorry to be random but would anybody be able to advise how to create a shortcut to F4A on an Android phone? TIA
Great to see Leeds getting it right with fewer delays. Interesting to see Durham Tees Valley one of the worse :
UK airports with worst departing flight delays revealed - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44190066
How DTV is one of the worst beats me. Nothing goes from there these days does it?
BBC Look North tonight
Some interesting footage was used on this evening's programme to accompany the good news regarding minimal delays at LBA compared to most other UK airports.
The footage shows a KLM B737-800 PH-BCB arriving on Runway 32. According to the BH records, this happened on 16 December 2011 when KLM1073 became a Manchester diversion.
Oh well, it saves sending a camera crew up the road to capture up to date images!

twev - is there any news out there about possible further strikes as I seem to get caught up in French ATC action every blooming year. I'm off to Greece next Tuesday.
