Title: City Airport - 15/03/10
Post by: kingsavo on March 15, 2010, 03:22:45 PM
Took my chances this morning and got a good break in the clouds! Turned out to be a busy enough morning. Now unfortunately there is a slight problem uploading picture at the minute (I'm sure Casper will have it fixed soon) so I have had to upload these to my Jalbum and the link to view these is below. Click the first image then click the right hand side of the image to get to the next.

The last picture is a Flybe Dash-8 taken when there was no light. But I included it as it seemed to be operating a sight-seing flight for Shorts/Bombardier. I have been on one of these before and what happens is that employees and family are treated to a 30 minute so flight around Co. Down. The flight is operated by flybe. Everyone checks in as normal. And on the departures board was: flybe flight 8400 to Belfast. Then they go flying round the Mournes and the Peninsula then come back!
 
Also hiding in there is a small GA plane that flew quite low over head. I have 'shopped the REG of the wing so 5 points to anyone who can identify the Make and Model!

Some great shots, nice lighting as always :) The weathers not looking great for the next week so it might be a while before spottings an option again.
