Title: Belfast City Airport - 04/03/10
Post by: Dave on March 05, 2010, 03:24:54 AM
Had a nice morning down at BHD yesterday with plenty of sun. However all these outings to BHD are taking their toll on me now, I'm all plane spotted out! I met up with Keith who had a whirl with my spare camera, until the batteries died 10 seconds later  ::)
 
Nothing much exciting to report. Only thing worth mentioning was the appearance of one of Ryanair's oldest 737's, EI-DAI, fresh out from the paintshop wearing the new Ryanair livery. I flew on this bird from Paris-Dublin in summer of 2007 so it's nice to see the aircraft in a new coat of paint.
 
Linked is the aircraft in it's old livery; http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6692780&nseq=6 (http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6692780&nseq=6)

Actually my feet were a lot warmer after taking your advice so thanks for that. Only 2 pairs of socks and extra insoles did the trick. Once the sun was out, it was actually pretty warm :)
