Ok, AVP days. It depends on what you want to see:

Daily:

2x AA B757 from ORD and JFK (from June 16th)
Delta B763 from ATL and B757 JFK
US airways A333 from PHL
2x Continental B757 from EWR
1x Qatar A333 (time in varies from day to day)
1x EY A332 (until June 7th) then B773 daily
2x EK B773 (or if you wait until sept 1st EK18/19 will be A388)
1/2x VS B744 to Orlando/Bridgetown (2011 will also see LAS, A330's and A343's)
multiple PIA B772/B773 or if your lucky, a B743 occasionaly visits
Multiple Ryanair, Easyjets, Monarchs, Thomsons etc etc etc

Daily excluding Tue/Thu

Singapore airlines B773

Tuesdays

Koral Blue A319/A320

Thu/sun evenings

Lufthansa Cargo MD11 from DFW (thu) and JFK (sun)

Ones I cant remember days for

Air blue (Pakistan) A319/A320/A321 in the evenings
Pegasus/turkuaz, saga, correndon, travel service all on turkish flights
AD-HOC Air livery movements, ranging from VC-10's to Iberia A340's (keep an eye out for heads ups)
Libyan Arab A320/CRJ-900

Best times to visit:

07:00-11:00 for the Transatlantics and one odd days, EY/QR
11:00-15:00 for EK and QR/EY (especially when the A388 kicks in)
18:00-21:00 for Pakistan flights, second EK and also seems to be the usual times to see air livery's new paint jobs rolled out.

Rest of the day is your usual cityjets, BA's, charters and LO-CO's

If you want any more specific help, message me. But for now, hope this helps

I thought this idiot had been banned obviously not for long enough
If he hasn't he obviously deserves to be. What a waste of space.

Just painting my fence. You are welcome to come and watch the paint dry particularly if it keeps you away from criticising entuusiasts

I bet any aircraft you despatch leaves ahead of schedule as they're desperate to get away from your depressing mug.

Bet there's many an aircraft fan who would love your job.

Why not give it a go them donlass? fancy working days /nights bank holidays /weekends for a pittance ? those "aircraft fans "might have a serious wake call if they tried it, im afraid the average spotter hasnt a clue about the realities of working in the industry
