Anybody manage to get a picture of the Monarch 757 today?

A vision of things to come! Monarch makes an early visit before flights begin to Munich and Grenoble in December

I hope that in time Monarch replace the A320 with the 757 at LBA. The moer 757's the better IMHO

I think you'll find Heather that Monarch are eventually replacing both the fleets of Boeing 757-200's and Airbus A300's with yet more narrow bodied Airbus A320 and A321's and keeping the fleet of wide bodied A330’s only

What is more interesting is the fact Monarch and Cosmos Holidays have just announced that they are to axe next summers long haul services to Orlando-Sanford due from both Newcastle and Cardiff due to low forward bookings. Now I wonder if the Airports management could persuade Monarch to launch a weekly service to Orlando-Sanford from Leeds-Bradford using some of that spare capacity?

Afteral dafter things have happend before...

I think they do that when they "bleed hot air" from the engine and divert it into the aircraft de ice system. It may have been a check to see if it was circulating properly. When they do this they lose about 1% of their take off thrust, to keep all the leading edges hot.

 

[channex 757]

Yeah that sounds about right because there was severe icing right from the cloud base to 6,000ft so that would explain why.

Thanks

Compressor blade ice shedding procedure normally about 90% N1 [ fan speed ] for around 45 seconds for the GE CF6-50 engines on the Airbus A300.

Great pictures 'channex 757'. It's nice to see the white stuff in the background for a change.

Yes the white stuff does make a nice change but I think today that some people maybe sick of the sight of it!!
