NWA 747s ariving LGW
Both NWA B747-200 passenger aircraft are currently enroute LGW, flt NW9969 from Charlotte carrying the San Diego Chargers around 8am, and NW9968 from Buffalo carrying the New Orleans Saints around 9am. Both will remain at LGW until after the NFL Chargers vs Saints game at Wembley on Sunday. Don't know departure time or date. One in the old colours, the other in the new colours. Could be one of the last times you see them as such in England.
I saw the first arrival at 08.05 but sadly didnt realise that there was another arrival-great shame!
A LOVELY SIGHT FOR A MONDAY MORNING--will definately pay attention when they go back!!

Yes the sight of two B747-200s on the Satellite got me all nostalgic, shame I couldn't wait for the NWA 757 too. If anyone can get the departure details that would be ace!

Yes, departures are on Monday 27th Oct. First one to San Diego at 10am, the second one to New Orleans at 1130am. I forgot to note the flight numbers - but they are in a similar range to the arrivals. And yes, Doors to Automatic, one was in Milwaukee after returning from Peking nonstop with the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team. It then positioned to Charlotte to fly the San Diego Chargers NFL team to LGW. The other one incidentally routed Peking-Oakland with the Golden State Warriors, then positioned Oakland-Buffalo.
