And tomorrow evening at 19.30hrs Dublin Airport arrivals has EZ433 (Evergreen International).from Paris LBG. Is this true and could it be a 747? Perhaps for the french team?
Tomorrow also XL Airways France & Transavia France.

The Evergreen is listed as arriving in from Paris LBG, I assume that must be Paris Le Bourget? If that really is an Evergreen 747, that's a pretty unusual movement. I'm half tempted to head down for a while tomorrow, the weather looks to be half decent and I'm not working until 6.30.

I think it might be Eastern Airways with their Jetstream or Saab 2000, their ICAO code is EZE. Whoever does the timetable typing at Dublin needs to wake up, always so many mistakes!  ;D

Gutted I didn't get to go down today :( I think the freighter was a 777F today and not the usual 747F?

Spent a nice day at DUB with Paul watching the invasion...
Still getting to grips with the new camera so some of the shots might not be great.... ::)

Some early arrivals....







Contrail spotting too...



Possible Antonov 124 ??



Back nearer the ground...







The invasion begins...



















Comments welcome as usual....

Great Shots Don-that is indeed an Antonov 124.
 
French Air Force Casa is a nice catch;did it visit Baldonnel later?

IT didnt go to Baldonnel Angry, It seems to be involved in the rugby in some way as there has been a FAF visitor to Dublin every time the Rugby is on, perhaps it's delivering their secret weapon..  ;)   lol



  Some more from yesterday....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  A few more of the overhead flights... ;D
 
 
 
 
 
 

And finally a few shots of the crowd, I have never seen spotting so popular down here...
Perhaps it catching on.... ;D





Hope all these pics are not boring you.... ;D

Really good shots Don.  The head on with the 777 is great.

I have notice that the pics I have uploaded with photobucket are not as sharp as the originals, so I'm trying one with flicker to see if its better as the more knowledgeable members all seem to be using it... ;)

Do the pilots in the biz jet look worried??    ;D
