Very nice catch and for once the weather looks okay :)

Excellent Don
-
Great shots!

Nice one Don, did you catch the Lufthansa A321 which departed 5 mins after the Alitalia 777 arrival? I was on it sat 2 or 3 seats from the back on the right hand side. I saw someone spotting at RWY 10, I just never figured it was you :P I saw the 777 taxi past during our pushback. Was it a medical emergency?

Thanks for the comments guys...

Very nice Don, Alitalia's new colours aren't much different to the old scheme yet it looks a lot better. The darker green and extended red on the tail is a smart update of an old livery.
Delta's SkyTeam 757 seems to be spending a lot of time at Dublin recently. Would be nice if they stuck either of their SkyTeam 767's on the DUB route during the Summer. I'm assuming the Delta A330 is also returning daily during the summer. :)
