« on: September 07, 2009, 09:46:24 PM »
Lovely Tupolev Tu-154 in to BFS today(Mon) at approx 1235. ;D

Was just unpacking the car on return from Portrush show so didn`t get a pic unfortunatly.

Mainly white with red/blue flash around engines/tail section-haven`t seen one into BFS for several years.

Gutting! Wonder which airline it was and what it was doing here. If it was a charter theres a chance it might return again! It is definately something I would like to catch. Beautiful aircraft!

Nice one Paul, in that case we can expect it to appear again on either Thursday or Friday. I just booked some over time at work for Thursday during the day, maybe I could get it changed if theres a chance the Tu154 will return.

Is there anyone with any info on it's return?
