LBA would normally update the arrival information not Jet2. It will more than likely be a glitch than because of overworked staff.

Sunwings B737-800 C-FYLC just departed Lbia on its way to Mahon. I dont know when they changed the aircraft.

A military helicopter has just flown VERY LOW over Leeds. I assume it had just transported an injured person, maybe a soldier, to the LGI.

 

[Aviador]

Yep just seen it fly right over the top of the Victoria Quarter

 

[Lamix1W]

It was an RAF Merlin, Rapier 3 doing a practice approach to the LGI. No injured soldiers to worry about

 

[pmscb]

saw 2 x chinooks flyin over skipton yesterday about 11.30am ish

 

[masere]

Anybody know what flew over Leeds around 11.15? Sounded like it was heading to the airport, was very loud, but didn't sound like one of the normal aircraft, and it wasn't that military helicopter that's been flying around for the last few days. There was nothing on FR24, and according to the LBA website nothing has landed. Damn clouds!

 

[The Pole]

I heard it in horsforth but couldn't see it. Suspect it was a military jet doing a low approach and go around

 

[lbaspotter]

Sunwing (Thomson) have swapped the based Boeing 737-800 aircraft again on today's Palma service. The yellow C-FYUH left this morning on the TOM3250 service while C-FTLK in ex Hapag Loydd colours is now working the inbound TOM3251 service this evening.

There wasn't a lot else happening when they visited so they kept ATC busy for a few minutes.
