Title: Windy day at DUB
Post by: hammerhead on January 29, 2013, 08:15:09 PM

Was passing the airport today so grabbed a few shots of aircraft battling the wind...

They were using runway 16 when I arrived, looking at these pics they might not seem unusual but the runway is to the right of the camera.... :o

They straightened up at the last moment...

The wind then changed direction and they started using runway 28, this is the Ethiad flight battling 45 knot crosswinds, the runway is to the left of these shots........

This approach ended in a go-around and they diverted to MAN due to low fuel...
