Title: EGAC - 12-04-09
Post by: Dave on April 12, 2009, 06:55:50 PM

Despite dying from the dreaded man flu, I nipped across to EGAC for some shooting.

After seeing all the usual Q400's, Embraers and 737's, the little Manx2.com Let L-410 appeared. I was fully expecting it to be OK-UBA which seems to make a daily appearance however it turned out to be OK-TCA.

Further research shows that this aircraft was only as added to the fleet within the past 2 weekshaving previously operated for Sky Express in Poland registered as SP-KPZ. Personally I find the history of an aircraft interesting and theres always the odd surprise when looking up Jet2 or Easyjet registrations.

Nice one. Love the colour scheme of the Sky Express version. One question though - How do you get your images accepted by JP.net so quickly?

Thats just the queue photograph. If it gets rejected or accepted then the link code needs changing within the post :) With the queue around 8000, it'll take 4 to 6 days for these to get screened.
