EC-LZO is again flying for TUI today.

We also have B735 LY-KLJ parked up having arrived from Yerevan on Tuesday with Pyunik for their Europa League game against Wolves.

Just sat enjoying the weather & looking thru bhx/aircraft stuff etc, noticed URCAH 1of the An12 flew from St. John’s to BHX & return on Friday night.....the 50+ year old a/c took 8 hrs 15 min for the west bound flight, amazing after all these years of service it’s still doing this sort of flight on a regular basis, not sure I would want to be on board for that length!

Not quite sure where to post these, but sitting up very late I noticed this on FR24 -

G-FCSL appears to be registered to FCS Flight Calibration Services. Looking at R33 ILS?

But when I looked again, it had gone from FR24. A glitch?

Kevin

Following this further and looking at the callsign (VOR01), I suspect this is carrying out calibration of VOR (VHF Omni-Directional Rangefinder) beacons.

I'm still puzzled by the Royal Jordanian A320 though!

After completeing a circuit, it headed toward BHX on an approach path for R33, but maintaining 8300ft.

Hi Fly have a flight from Porto today with BHX arrivals showing is as just after 13:00.

It should be their A330-900 but is obviously subject to change.

A lovely aircraft to grace BHX, so sad they are becoming rare beasts.

Hi Kevin,the Royal Jordanian was probably arriving with refugees from the war in Syria from Beirut.There have been several similar flights in the last couple of years always from Beirut arriving very early in the morning.Regards,Simon.

 

[Ray Finkle]

EI-NUA, Neos 787-900, should be landing in the next 5 mins or so.

 

[Creguk]

I saw that A340 today from my office in Knowle. Great sight!

 

[dan89876]
