Several people I know received an email from the operator today advising it would be in EMA next week if they fancied a look round.

Wondered how long it'd be before this one got out. As far as I knew it wasn't 100% confirmed when I was told though - although this was last week. Is it now confirmed?

Rgds..

I reckon.

No idea where she's off to though.

Pakistan maybe?

EMA hasn't got the longest runway that she's ever used, has it.

Ok, so for those who don't know abreviations, where on earth is egnx, ema, lba, man etc etc etc........

I am sick of reading these posts by spotters trying to be 'hip', can you not just say Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton or wherever it is you are on about so those abroad or not quite as savvy as you lot know what you are bloody on about..

We'd take that comment more seriously if you'd called yourself Kalundborg!

EKKL... This is the PROFESSIONAL pilots.... network, and there's no need for bad language thank you.. It figures that the people on here are, somehow, mixed up with the aviation industry. WE all understand - it's you outsiders who don't. Oh yes, as well as being an avid spotter I spent nigh on 40 years in the aviation industry and the only "hip" I know about is the one that pains me when I'm on the running machine...

Sorry HD, it just annoys me when I don't know where the airport is when mentioned in a post. Why can't people just type the name of the airport!

FYI, I am a professional photographer with a lapsed PPL from a few years back.

Hope it's confirmed as I got my invite today and will be paying a visit to EMA (or maybe I should say East Midlands).

That's not even said tongue-in-cheek is it? "Outsiders" for Gods sake? This isn't some farmers market.

Like EKKL I often don't understand either. There are thousands of codes - it'd make life a lot easier if the places were spelt out. Perhaps an encyclopaedic knowledge of airport abbreviations should be de rigeur for professional pilots eh?

Well said, Caudillo! It's a place for aviation professionals

The forum title of "Spectators Balcony" wouldn't suggest that to me...

As requested, EKKL, could you explain to our spotters the meaning of your username?

Anyway, back to the original topic....

I've been told the Myria is loading and is outbound on Friday.

No idea if she's coming in loaded.

Latest word I have, via another email group, which is supposed to come from Antonov:

Due in Monday 17:.55 Due out Saturday 3rd at 08:00!

I know no more but, as before, would be mega-grateful for any additional info as we'll be heading north for this one...
