Edinburgh Airport days spotting

 

My first ever trip north of the boarder spotting took me to Edinburgh. 

I flew out of Birmingham Airport (BHX) on board easyjet Airbus A320 G-EZOT. AIn little over 50 minutes I was touching down on runway 06. As we taxied in there Donald Trumps own Boeing 757 which had bought over his son Eric. Sadly I departed whilst I was boarding my flight home.

After stopped at the shop for some snack is was straight to the mound at the 06 end of the runway.

Here you can get up close to the Aircraft. See my photos.

Why Edinburgh? I want to catch the beautiful looking Emirates A350 But sadly this time of yeah it's dark on its arrival and it was time to catch my flight home. Other of note for me today were the two transavia France Boeing 737-800 and probably the star of the was a Irish Air Corps CaSA C-295MPA.

Most of the movements today were the low cost carriers ie easy jet ryanair, the national carriers Lufthansa Air France British Airways Turkish Airlines. Norwegian Transavia France and Turkish company Pegasus where also seen.

The weather was very cold but what else would you expect being in Scotland in March, the sun was on my side being out most of the day, but by 16:00 I couldn't stand the cold any longer and headed back to the Terminal for a warm and to recharge my mobile phone.

Being already checked in straight through security and into the departure lounge. From here you can still get great views of the runway and manage to catch all the action. With the lounge lights refecting off the glass photos would turn out that good.

My ride back to Birmingham (BHX) was on board easyjet Airbus A320 G-EZTG. So that another two aircraft I've Flown on.  

I will certainly be returning here. But I think in peak season when the likes of Delta Airlines And Hinan Of China return.

Looking forward to booking my next Trip.......

I've noticed that many of the cargo aircraft are seen on a daily basis 

Bobbington Airport has beome a construction site!

So today I visited my local Airfield, Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green (locally known as Bobbington). 

But to my surprise it was closed, well to fixed wing aircraft anyway. This is due to a large amount of redevelopment and construction work which is on going.

The biggest part of these works are all three runways are to be resurfaced,  aswell taxiway alpha and foxtrot. 

The fuel bay has been dug up and will be replaced with concrete. 

New LED lighting for runway 16/34 and helipad number 5.

And finally new PAPIs for runway 16/34.

All the above information was take for the airports official website.

Their Facebook page has been giving updates of how the work is progressing. 

Check out my video of how the Airfield looked today

 The flight was on board TUI Airways Boeing 737-800 G-FDZR. The flight itself was smooth and straight forward.

The crew were very friendly and helpful, travelling with a young family this also made my journey even easier. The views seen from take off was beautiful with stunning scenery. Watch as we taxi from stand down to runway 24, then climb out banking to the right where we pass over Poblament Fenici de sa Caleta, Porroig and Es Cubells.

Hope you enjoy the video
