Sunday Teatime Visit to Birmingham For A New A320Neo!

 

    So earlier on my what's due to Birmingham, I put down that new Lufthansa City Airbus A320Neo was predicted to operate from Munich around teatime. But as we all know with aircraft spotting sometimes at the last moment due tech problems or operational reasons the aircraft will change. For me this has happened multiple time over the years.

    So before setting off I doubled checked Flight Radar and the A320neo was in the air and coming my way. So quickly jumping in the car off I headed to the airport. The Lufthansa was making its first visit to Birmingham

    The following where noted around 17:30......

Saturday Spotting Session With the Kids

 

        Something what I've been wanting to do for most of the summer was take the girls to Sheldon Park to watch the aircraft arrive and depart whilst landing over the park. So today would be that day, runway 15 was in use, the weather from where I was at home seemed fine and a required Pegasus Airbus A321Neo heading to Birmingham made the trip a good idea.

    We arrived there just past midday just at a Turkish Airlines Airbus A321Neo came screaming over our heads. My eldest seemed a little put off by the noise, but the youngest was loving it here and when the time came to leave we had a melt down!!!

Here's what was seen on our couple hours visit to Birmingham Airport today:
