A6-EEX

 

[Timberwolf]

Don't they all have the same range?

No the ULH ones have more range and usually on the US routes .

 

[IanFarquharson]

Todays outbound was pretty full

 

[RichL]

That why it was 40 mins late?

Don't tell Ant, he won';t be happy

 

[RichL]

I’m sure it’s in his book

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Don't tell Ant, he won';t be happy

Nah I Don’t mind

 

[Scania1800]

Anyone have any guesses into what A380 will be EK39 tomorrow? I see A6-EES is available but unlikey if that’s going to become EK39/40

More than a B777's load?

Yes nearly 100 more than a HD77W

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

EK was A6-EUY Journey To The Future Livery flew over me I have some bad shots of it over me captured on my phone and my hands were shaking been years since I saw it over me and it was surreal. I don't think the Pictures are any good

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Fire engines all the A380

 

[CL44]

EK039 currently on the taxi way surrounded by 3 x fire engines. No lights or any movement around at present so unsure what the problem is.

The other streamer was Macc Aviation, who often does streams from other UK airports (mainly Manchester), there is no issue with him streaming from Birmingham today, its a free country, Airport Action was always going to get more viewers being BHX based. People do have lived you know, not every one is like you Darlo, and can spend all day watch streams or the aircraft at the country park, most of us have other things to do shopping, gardening, cooking, cleaning, spending time with family etc , thankfully we are not all like you!

How do you what I was doing that day. I actually missed EK landing as I had been doing volunteering work at my local football club on the Saturday Morning I was shattered and covered in dust and crap from cleaning changing rooms my hands were red from lifting Heavy Benches by myself and carrying Hoovers. I actually have been doing it the last three Saturday's they have a match this week. I have just finished College so am looking for a job in between looking for a Job and that I do my hobbies. One such thing is seeing the planes or playing fifa and keeping up to date with the news. I wasn't at Sheldon eventhough Kev and Michelle had said we could come I wasn't sure If I would bit far for me to travel on buses and trains. I had a brief check as I left To see what time the A380 was due in Half Twelve It would take Me 20 minutes to walk home. I made a stop and just missed it landing. I don't actively look for the planes unless I'm bored at night or it's EK or some special plane Dreamliner, A330. The A380 was something I wanted to see as I remember it flying over my house when I was in Secondary School and occasionally at School and a lot of kids looked up and went wow. So I did actually have things to do by the time I got home I was shattered so I watched the Stream and then relaxed spoke to some friends and other things

Reading on other forums it's a fuel/hydraulic leak, been towed to the remote stands now.

Seems like it’s been parked up at a bus gate, could possible indicate a cancellation in EK40

 

[CL44]

Certainly looks like a cancellation. Oh to have shares in a coach company. Imagine the call "Do you have 10 coaches hanging around the Birmingham area right now?"

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

Could we get a replacement A380 I know when Glasgow had an A380 go tech one from LHR was sent up to replace it could EK do that here. Or is it coach up the M6 to Manchester, Coach down the M6 to London or Possibly rebooked if there is any room on EK37
