Belfast City Airport - 09/04/2011
« on: April 09, 2011, 06:21:46 PM »
Decided to make the most of the good weather and headed over to BHD at lunchtime to see what was about.

Easyjet A319, G-EZBZ

Easyjet A319, G-EZBZ

Eclipse 500, N117EA

Flybe Dash-8, G-JEDM

This Embraer 145 was a surprise as I hadn't seen one here till now, though I gather from others that it does appear on the lunchtime service from time to time.
BMI EMB-145, G-RJXR

Flybe Dash-8, G-JEDW

Flybe Dash-8, G-FLBC

FYI, the City airport now has a PDA version of its website available for those with Blackberrys (like me)  ;D
Much handier for getting arrivals/departures than Flightstats which always seems to list around 15 - 20 flights an hour landing at BHD  ::)

Great foties  ;D  Nice little business jet there... Interesting that it has an American registration with a Manx flag on the tail. Also I think Easyjet are disappearing from BHD at the start of May.

They are, moving back to BFS although I haven't heard why; cost, lack of interest?
