Belfast City Airport - 11/02/10
« on: February 11, 2010, 11:10:53 PM »
I spent a beautiful sunny morning at Belfast City Airport today, also joined by Keith. It was finally nice to see Easyjet there and of course I'm sure Keith was happy at the number of Embraer 195's we saw  ;)
 
There was also a Ryanair missed approach and when asked by the ATC as to why a missed approach was performed, the pilots response was that they were in an incorrect landing configuration.
 
Also, one of the BMI A320's appeared to have a malfunctioning shock absorber on the front undercarriage strut, as the aircraft was taxing along with a backwards tilt as can be seen in the final photo.

Very nice, especially like the EasyJet pic.

Need to try and get down some morning, weather certainly seems a lot better.

I will try to edit a few of my photos tomorrow but my memory card is still firmly attached to the camera. Someone tied me down and forced me to go the pub tonight!

Nice one Keith. Is it just me or does the Easyjet livery look fantastic in the early morning sun? I'm tempted to nip down again tomorrow morning for a while.
