A large and quite noisy propliner has just flown over Otley at high altitude. Heading west. Possibly an A400.

Vistajet Global Express landed about thirty seconds ago.

Possibly the Police Partenavia. Fixed undercarriage and doing some sort of surveillance ??

It was Mike Webster. He also did some type training on the UAE Boeing 707 at Leeds Bradford.

Aviaco turned up twice with an ex-Saudia DC8-63 in 1986. One time in lieu of the Sunday Iberia A300 and another time doing a DC9 job on a Thursday or Friday in October.

This could be the case at any airport. I've been at Manchester in the morning when the likes of Virgin and United (going back a few years) have had to wait up to half an hour for their designated stand to become vacant. By midday, the place is much quieter and back to single runway ops! I guess...

radar, I agree that the original extension was done 'to cost', to put it politely, but I wouldn't necessarily stick my neck out and say it's not possible to add a parallel taxiway where we'd like it. Costly and far from straightforward but not impossible. Who knows! Where's a civil engineer when...

A taxiway between A1 and Echo might not be a bad idea while the concrete mixers are turning. Needless to say, that is a more complex project.

In the winter, when Jet2 are less busy it's not uncommon for up to three aircraft to be parked on taxiways. This has been the case for several years and it's a poor image in anybody's book.

The airport needed more stands a decade ago...

Always happy to see old time photos of our airport. Keep them coming!

Steering this thread back on course, we had regular Wardair Boeing 747s on Monday from 1986 to '89. JAT used 707s in 1985 only and 727s from 1986 to 1991. Aviogenex also brought us their 727s from about 1989 to 1991 but it was usually their 737s. Dan Air 727s I've already mentioned. The 767 from...

Thanks all but I'm talking about Boeings that are bigger than the 737 and not TriStars or 1-11s or any other jet.

Which airlines brought the first larger Boeings to Leeds Bradford following the runway extension? I know we had the private Saudi 720 not long before the extension was opened and a Monarch 757 about a year and a half prior to that. My guess is JAT for both the 707 and 727-200, in 1985 and 1986...

Strange-looking aeroplane arrived about five minutes ago. I only glimpsed it from Costa by the runway; appeared to have a v-tail and two jet engines at the back.

Citation 9A-JSE, belonging to Jung Sky, is parked at Multiflight. Netjets CS-DXO has just arrived.

I'd like to see a 737 attempt a landing at Plymouth and Swansea.

Can LUFC still afford jets ?

As many of us know, we had a visit from a pair of F35 Lightnings this morning. The 'story' has even made local news by appearing under the BBC Red Button function for the northern England region. Apparently, the jets were 'very loud'. In other news, s**t stinks.

Falcon 900 N79LE inbound.
