I love how a little 737 sounds like a 787 with those bigger engines

Its a AV geek thing, some people wont understand

Not really noticed much difference with 737MAX but have with A320NEO as they are much quieter and make
more of a rumbling noise

Yes i know what you mean but i love the bigger engines on both. Here is a Lufty A320 Neo that i took last summer.

WAMOS B747-400 is due in to BHX at around 17:30 today. I believe it is replacing the TUI 787 for tomorrows flight. It is due out at 09:00 Friday morning.

In addition to the Wamos 747, we also have:
Turkmenistan 777-200
Emirates A380
TUI 787-9 (G-TUIM)
And the usual 787s from Qatar and Air India

Loving the variety at BHX

No Air India 787 service on Fridays anymore.

No Air India 787 service on Fridays anymore.

Is it because they have grounded some of there fleet of aircraft? Here was me hoping they add Mumbai by now.
