Through the cloud, but can discern the Formula 1 special livery

05:58 Ethiopian Dreamliner OTT; approaching Portavogie now heading NW

ET-AOQ

Stayed well to the south but looked very pretty, picked-out in golden Sunlight against the dark western sky.

Interesting, a Delta B764 operating a Camber flight.  Picking up the morsels from the bankruptcy of World Airways?

09:50 Just about to graze the Giant's Causeway is an unusual movement, Monarch's 757 G-MONK heading NW

http://planefinder.net/flight/MON8693

Possibly associated with 'Ant and Dec' from the telly.  Seems there have been charter flights to Orlando in association with their programme.

Out of Brize Norton so presumably a trooping charter to Canada.

Another Monarch B752 over NE Antrim today. Heading for Calgary and Cold Lake?  G-MONJ.

One of their A332s did the reciprocal route early this morning, over Galloway towards Brize.

Sorry Smudge, just saw your post. Was too busy grabbing the camera and trying to post at the same time!  Great minds and all that  ;)

Just about managed to get a few shots of OMNI AIR Boeing B777-222 ER N918AX as CMB531.

Was much further north than I had hoped so pics are crappy. :-[

Kaiser are based in Oakland CA.  I wonder if he's headed there; would need a fuel stop in Gander I assume.

All I could do given the distance & haze.  Can just discern *really* big winglets, though.



Very unusual to be tech-stopping in Green Bay!  Not a lot there except cheese :)

22:08 Tailchase about to coast-in heading NW.

UPS MD-11 at FL300 gaining on Cargolux B744 at the same flight level and on the same track... very unusual

http://fr24.com/UPS214

22:10 the 747 has revved-up and is now seven knots faster than the MD-11... coming over Ards now.
