Title: request for BFS movements, 3 June
Post by: eitlean on June 14, 2010, 04:44:47 PM
Hi all, I'm a Liverpool-based spotter. I was in Belfast on a day trip on Thursday 3 June, and was hoping someone might be able to help me tie up a few loose ends:

US Air Force B737BBJ
Star Airlines B767F
DHL A300F
and another A300F in all-white colours
Ce680? looked like G-OSVW
and a Danish-reg Pa23 or Pa31?

Many thanks for any help

Michael

Hey Michael, I can only help with the freighter aircraft.
 
The DHL A300F was EI-EAD and the plain white A300F was TF-ELF (Ex-Etihad Cargo). I believe someone else on the forum caught the US Air Force BBJ so they should know the reg.
 
Hope you had a decent trip!

Hi Michael, I caught the USAF BBJ coming in on 2 June, it was 05-0730 (http://www.niaviation.co.uk/modern-military-aircraft/usaf-boeing-c-40b-bbj-(737-7cp)-at-bfs/msg11800/#msg11800) I would assume that it is the same one ;)

Hey Micheal I can help with the others  :)


The Star Airlines B767F was OY-SRL
G-OSVW is showing as a [/size]Cessna 560XLS Citation XLS  [/size]http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=937949 (http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=937949)

The Star Air B767 would have been OY-SRO.
The Danish Piper Pa-31-350 Navajo was likely OY-NJV,which has been doing some work of the Ordnance Survey.
 
I have pics of both in this sites gallery. :)

Many thanks to all who replied, you were most helpful. I'll be back on another day visit to BFS on Friday 25 June, when I hope to have a bit more time to enjoy the city (the last trip was nothing but work, even including a dreadful 'working lunch'), so brace yourselves for another request for basic info in due course!

ps at the risk of incurring the wrath of the forum moderator for mixing threads, having just had a look at the World Cup thread, I agree that so far the Germans have been the only positively-minded team ... but I'm hoping that Spain will reproduce their great football of the Euros two years ago!
