New aircraft or old things will go wrong !
However it would seem a text book resolution and result.

Yeap we've had a RAF Euro Fighter Typhoon do a ILS approach to runway 32 at around 11:45, Sorry I didn't get his reg but have asked around so will post if i get it from anyone, I do know his call-sign was "Typhoon08"
We also had RAF Tucano, ZF140 do an ILS run earlier using flight no "LOP40"

Also see that Jet2 positioned in Boeing 737-800, G-GDFW from Manchester earlier this morning as EXS41A to operate today's EXS223/224 Tenerife service seen as we are an aircraft short what with Boeing 737-8MG, G-JZHX been tech after its emergency problems last night.

 

[a300boy]

Now was it G-JZHX or G-JZHZ as reported ?
I have not seen HZ yet and believe is still in the US awaiting delivery.

G-JZHX was the Jet2 Boeing 737-8MG aircraft that had problems last night. See me original message which i posted on here as the incident was happening at 20:47. Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

Ok by the way I'll admit I missed typed the reg with me later message at 21:53, Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up but that has now been corrected. I guess this might have caused a bit of confusion as I see that message has been quoted afterwards by "JakeS" which still shows the typo.

Jet2 Boeing 737-8MG, G-JZHX is about to operate a test flight as EXS52B. Will be the aircraft first flight since last Wednesday nights Hydraulic fluid leak incident.

Falcon 900EX-Easy N5MV just established on ILS inbound on runway 32(1950)

 

[rangieowner]

Whats the story with EXS051H out over the North Sea?

 

[lbaspotter]

Probably most likely be engineering test flight. Which aircraft is it?

 

[a300boy]

B737-800 G-JZHG

 

[lbaspotter]

G-JZHG has been sat in the Multiflight hangar quite a while under going maintenance, so definitely will be an engineering flight of some sort.

[LeedsPilot]

Is Jet2 currently short of a 757 at LBA? Yesterdays ALC flight and today's PMI have been operated by 2x 737-300s.

 

[a300boy]

Noticed that myself but thought they must have had extra bookings.

 

[oldendays]

LSAI is currently out of action, somewhere abroad.

G-LSAI went tech in Alicante on Monday. So yeah Jet2 are short of an B752 at LBA.

Just looking at fr24 and Titan Airways A321 G-POWN en route from Stansted.

Yeap it's positioning in as EXS41A to cover the sick B752, G-LSAI.

 

[White Heather]

It is in all white which somehow makes it look longer when in the air. Is this the same aircraft used by Jet2 last summer (out of MAN) as that was all white too (other than the Jet2.com titles). Or do they have several A321s in plain white?
