The reg was G-XLAA that arrived at STN.

G-XLAA
 

The excel 737 actually went onto one of the new echo stands and operated a flight out to Baku returning a load of illegals. :D

Happy Days just the type of flights we like to hear about :D

Ped90 i thought Channel Express did those flights with their 737 off the corgo stands?

Thanks for the info.

"Lumbering A/c into STN"
 

From another forum members are asking if anyone knows what the 4 engine turboprop "Lumering" ( their words ) aircraft is thats been visiting STN over the last few months, maybe AN22 or something like that.

Anyone shed any light? What i have posted above is as much as i know :rolleyes:

Thanks

Yes, the An22 is back. Four engines but eight props.

The AN-22 is indeed back flying after a long heavy maintenance lay-off, and you can also see pretty regular An-12 movements in and out of STN.

747 at Stansted?
 

Hi Guys

Everytime I take a flight out of Stansted I see a white 747-400 with a green and red stripe on the tail parked next to Harrods Aviation. Does anyone know who it belongs to and what it does? Is it based at STN?

Thanks
:8:confused:

That will be the ROYAL FLIGHT OMAN, you saw either the 747-400 (A40-OMN) or 747sp (A40-SO)this one is most recognisable for the hump on the top, but both are regular visitors to Stansted.

Anyone know why both MAXjet and an Eos flight have been canx? Saying that there was a MAXjet flight op into MAN tonight (Thu) as MXJ930. :confused:

Red Arrows STN.
 

Don't have an answer as to WHY the red arrows pass down the runway but Punch is'nt fibbing.

Around 2yrs ago they done it while i was on shift. First was a low pass over the runway in formation, followed by a tight turn around sat1/cargo apron then lining back up for a full stop landing on rwy23. They parked up over the north side for a while aswell.

Was quite a sight.:D:D

Regards.:ok:

Maxjet
 

Maxjet had problems with charters they had been doing. Thats why the flights did not run as for EOS cant give an answer dont know why.
Plus a divert into Gander did not help them this week.

MXJ930 went from MAN onto Nairobi.

Assuming it was a special charter of some description.

Maybe it was for pax who are considered more important that running a scheduled service for a couple of days.

Not quite sure why the aircraft wouldn't use STN, rather than MAN - unless it was payload/range related.

Maxjet Charters
 

They have been running some adhoc charters yes. There have been parties and other events.
The charters sometimes make more money than useing the aircraft on its normal time table. But Gander has become a new Maxjet base after engine problems.

Plus those who where at STN Sunday would have LTU operating AB's TXL.

I was just wondering if anyone knows the reg of the current B738 operating for GSM from STN, because I am flying it early next month to TFS.

Thanks a lot
