Hi all, I received word that a Russian Piper 46 was inbound to Kidlington on a quick turnaround and so off I set. Imagine my disappointment when I got home and found that I had seen it previously as N600RU at the Aero Friedrichshafen event in 2017. Fortunately OK-FTR was good for me and it […]
Hi all, A quick stop at my old local tonight to catch the Indigo in case it buggers off.

Final stop of the day was a very quiet Staverton~Glos. Nothing on the main ramp, nor at the fuel pumps. Never seen that before! Did the usual drive around the public road / area’s of the field. A peek in one of the hangars though the windows from the public road, then a short break […]
A visit here to note the six aircraft that had turned up since my last visit in March. However one that I did not see was EI-FFM Boeing 737 73S C/n 29082 Ex Meridiana/Airitaly. I understand that it was on the North side near to where the BA and 2 x Ex Corsair B747’s were. […]
Did a short day trip to visit the reported helicopters at Edgwicks Transport depot Northway lane Tewkesbury. A bit of discussion has been developing on the various forums with regards to the true ID’s and C/n’s. Fortunately the good news is that it was recently reported that six of the seven VT- had the C/n […]
Hi all, Penultimate day of our USA MAX bash and we are back in Phoenix. Now this routing might seem strange as we were here a few days earlier, but of course the original plan was to see us spending today at Luke AFB for the airshow. As we knew this had been cancelled just […]
Hi all, Our last day in Seattle saw us revisit all the Boeing sites again. I had been tempted to go to NAS Whidbey Island but I would have wanted to spend a good part of the day there and there were still some other things to do in the general Seattle area. Also as […]
Hi all, After a long day on the road yesterday doing Moses Lake as a day trip, it was now time to turn our attention to aviation around Seattle. I already knew that sitting all day at the airport might get a bit boring after a while as it is very Alaska Airlines heavy and […]

Hi all, Of the overall Boeing MAX hunt, this was the most eagerly awaited day where we would get to see over 200 of them parked up at Moses Lake. I suspect many of us would never have heard of this place before the Boeing facility started being used to relieve the Seattle Boeing fields……how […]
