Already getting wet and wild out there, so I would guess that this thread will be very busy today with reports of planes in the hold and being diverted elsewhere.

Current METAR showing wind at 12KT although Met. Office forecast for LBA currently showing wind at 23KT gusting to 43 kt with gusts in the high forties all day. All flights ok at the moment but looks like it’s going to hot up later. Can’t wait for the usual article in the Daily Mail together with a video of LBA describing the terror in the air as the aircraft come into land sideways!

Dont forget the passengers screaming that the end is nigh and hero pilots battling to avoid hospitals/orphanage (delete as applicable)

Some fun landings this evening and tomorrow.
 
Jetstream 41 G-MAJY(Eastflight 043P) being vectored onto ILS, runway 14(1300) positioning in from Humberside
 
It may be considered something to joke about on here but I think it is a factor (how significant I don't know) in why some passengers prefer to fly from other airports where usually the landing is less dramatic rather than use LBA.
It scares my parents to death landing at Leeds but I always say to them a hard touchdown is actually good at Leeds and for a reason.

9 trips in 9 days done 70 miles walked and over 23-00 photos taken with a large number taken at 20mph or above. Heavy rain on 1 day only
5 trips done and 45 miles walked,. Also the RAF has had 4 F35B Lightning follow me yesterday and today....
My plans got altered slightly as one of the minibus companies had to cancel 3 trips and refunded me but will be getting nice discount when I rebook them.
wondering why on my "holidays" I choose to get up 2 hours earlier than when going to work. 6 trips in 6 days soon coming up with 3 more days to sort out
