Some cool shots there Don. You're pretty lucky living to such a decent airport, theres always some sort of traffic. The Aer Lingus ATR is still looking great. They must have all 4 of the ATR 72's painted up by now.

As Dave said cool stuff, nice to see the Cimber and the Noggie. I spent Saturday at BFS 13 movements in 3 hours, at least I got the Times read.

Thank's for the kind comments guy's, Like Dave said it's great to be able to head over and always have something to see, on the down side it's not always easy to get over when the sun's shining.

I'm just looking at the Dublin arrivals list now, some interesting stuff already appearing;
 
Hifly - I think they only operate A330's and A340's,
Strategic Air,
Air Transat- I think I read they will be using the A330 now into Dublin?
 
Also read that the SkyTeam liveried Delta 767-400ER was in town this morning.
 
How's the spotting on the North side of the airport? The Northside is now the place to be during sunrise and sunsets. I guess the only place to go is that long road sign at the bend? It's a shame theres not a small mound there, it would've offered ideal spotting opportunities!
 
And as of yet, I'm still waiting to catch my first Fedex A300... I always seem to miss it when at Dublin.
