I know it has been tested to within the nth degree of its life prior to delivery but I’d prefer an aircraft with a few miles under its belt!

FFS…this group sometimes! It’s usually because an aircraft is 25+ years old…now it’s because it’s not old enough

I love the new ones, hate the old noisy ones.

Ever heard of the expression “tongue in cheek”?

Ethiopean B777 freighter came over the top earlier at around 16000ft on its way to EMA. It looked beautiful.

Jet2 Boeing 737-300, G-GDFG positioned out empty to Arrecife this morning as EXS044A to operate a charter flight to Manchester as “EXS8920”

They are. Seen a couple on recent visits to EMA. Made a nice change from DHL. Sure EMA would give for more variety in just the same way LBA would, but equally they don't do bad. LBA's time will come - just depends how patient we can all be!

The flight number looks to be a scheduled flight, no doubt recovering come tech aircraft at MAN, looks like another -300 went to LPL today also to operate a ALC. ironic these old birds are rescuing younger AC

On another note we have had 3 CRJ200 private jets in today, on top of all the other private jets movements. Does Multiflight need to expand / get a bigger apron?! It’s a shame DSA isn’t open to help out with the private jet movements.. all wanting to operate into LBA

easyJet Europe Airbus 320 OE-IJQ has just rotated from Paris Charles de Gaulle and will make her first LBA visit in an hour.

[Len Fish]

Bit of an unhappy first visit I’m afraid, landed one and a half hours late and took off nearly two and a half hours late.

Is the calibrator just doing 14 testing today?
