Trip Report: Departure from Ibzia

 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

Trip Report Birmingham (EGBB/BHX) 4th January 2025

 Firstly Happy New Year to everyone. So the first trip of the year down to Birmingham (BHX) to catch the Etihad Cargo Boeing 777F that was operating into Birmingham today.

I didn't need this Aircraft as i saw it at Amsterdam last year, but with these visits being rare at Birmingham off I went. With the threat of snow all day and being bitterly cold I arrived at a packed Multi-storey car park. 

The usual suspects where parked up with a Enter Air Boeing 737-800 parked up on the remote 70's stands and in front of me on the Elmdon Apron was National Boeing 747-400F N537CA. This would be later towed over to the terminal side to make way for the later freight arrivals, being a Maersk Air Boeing 767-300F and on its first visit to Birmingham Silkways Boeing 777F VP-BMU.

The nice thing about the Etihad freighter for me was that it was still wearing the old livery of the Airline.

Did this take nearly have a tail sttike????
