G-THOO, isnt this one of the 737 winglets maybe?

Life history -

http://www.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/search/phot...nct_entry=true

correct is still sittin in the same spot as yesterday drove round it today it can't be that bigga hole i failed to see it.

there have been Thomson service vehicles around it all so im guessing they wanna get it airbourne ASAP

Who acctualy owns G-THOO?

do Thomson own it or do they lease it from SkyEurope?

Isnt the A/C with a hole in the side of it G-BYAW the same aircraft which had the birdstrike at MAN last week?

Thomson own very few aircraft if any.
G-THOO will be on lease from one of the many leasing companies, SkyEurope would have returned it before TUI leased it in.:ok:

oooo make sense now

no the one at newcastle is G-BYAS

A bit of a coincidence because on January 15th i flew from Luton to Madeira on G-BYAW. Which as you'll know suffered a major bird strike months after meaning that the no.2 engine had to be repaced. And then on the 22nd January G-BYAS was used on the return flight from Madeira which i have now found out had a nasty gash in the fuselage. It's strange knowing that both 757s i was on for the complete trip have experienced unfortunate incidents! Also when i landed at Madeira the captain announced that all the water from our plane (G-BYAW) the galley had leaked onto the ground!

what even more of a coincidence is both them 2 aircraft are infact 757-200 and your name is B757-200

ITS YOU, your a jinx

im in work in the mornin shall find out what hapenin with "AS"

does it not worry you that 2 of the last few aircraft you have flown on are both the same type as your name and have both succome to somewhat serious problems??

one at NCL, on a busy night there are normaly about 3 if its gonna be a busy day the next day they tend to have about 4-5 a/c at NCL, obviously that include the BAE146 for the gatwick route

I think it used to be leased out with Miami Air. Not a bad job for a temporary lease with decals.....at least they've removed most of the gold stripe (except over the instrument areas) to create a "close-to" BA livery.

Flyglobespan Aircraft
 

Can anyone settle a dispute between a co-worker and myself with regards to the above airline..the point in question is does Flyglobespan own ANY of its aircraft or are they all leased.I have been hunting around for a website to answer this and reckoned on you guys knowing the answer.

I think GSM own the 737-600 which they bought from SAS

The others are leased mainly using ILFC

All Globespan aircraft are leased according to UK CAA GINFO

Kurt, what makes you think that they are all leased, from the CAA info?

All Globespan aircraft are listed as:
"Ownership Status: Chartered", not "Ownership Status: Owned"

Kurt, l would not put too much credit to "Ownership Status: Chartered".
My Airline owns most of it's fleet, but all show "Chartered".
It might mean that an aircraft is owned by a sub company and then chartered to the main company, in this case the airline.

Mr @ Spotty M, that's one of the drawbacks of GINFO. Many other official registries name both owner and operator when they are two different entities.
A good example of this is the Swedish registry database

Malaysia Airlines Fleet Expansion
 

Hi All,

I'm new here but nevertheless read this forum allot. I love flying and pilotting but am rather in an industry far from it, telecoms.

Okay, i fly allot, luterally living off the suitecase. Being a malaysian and frequent MAS and Sq user, i am keen to know if insiders can share any news on MAS's fleet expansion.

I've stopped wanting to fly MAS on regional and middle east routes as i hate the 737 and A330s that done come with AVOD's, let alone any entertainment. For these routes, i fly SQ.

Any news on when we can hear any fleet upgrades on MAS, i think i have practically flown almost all the 747's and 777's, i think :) Am keen to see something new on MAS.

This weekend, for the first time i will fly the LAX-SQ economy premium flight, looking forward for the comfort but not the distance ....

Carry on the good job in this site and continue to talk, pilot talk seems very amusing to read!

Cheers,
Goks
