didn't know where to put this and didn't want to start a new thread but jesus christ look how close this was.. looks like there was no flaps either http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYkXt83d2x0

Looks like no flaps alright, but a 737 will definately not fly without flaps selected, probably flaps 1 takeoff

Nice to see a 727 in Dublin again - even if it is all white!

Two fine pics of 747 freighters at EIDW. Taken from Wikipedia:

Nice pics but its bothering me a little that people (not just you) are taking pics from other sites and uploading them here.
I assumed this thread was for AvFans own pics?

These 2 pics were taken in June 2002 in Kabul Afghanastan. I was flying on an A300B4 as technical coverage. We were supplying relief for the locals. The 1st pic a result of the Afgan / Russia war years earlier

These pics were taken after we had a bird strike, actually a flock of unknown birds. Notice the engines, slats and flaps. Blood everywhere. Was unreal. Resulted in replacing number 2 engine. Oh the flight was out of Nepal when it occured

TAXI INCIDENT

Shanair

Friday May 14th was a splendid day at Shannon where in nice weather several interesting aircraft were to be seen. (Photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/shanair/). In the morning Miami Air's B737-8Q8 N734MA made a fuel stop and then a lunch time Mayfair Aviation's 62 year old De Havilland DH104 Dove 8 G-OPLC arrived on a charter. Delivered to the RAF in 1948 it was civilianised in 1986 and is still earning ts keep. It has a luxurious interior making for very nice relaxed way to travel. The afternoon saw the first visit of Air Contractors passenger configured B737-31S EI-STA in the colours of subsidiary Europe Airpost. It was doing the first weekly charter to/from Dubrovnik. The evening saw the arrival of Kalitta Air B747-246B (F) N700CK making a nice landing in crosswind conditions. Two movements from Shannon Aerospace were the ex-Olympic B737-4Q8 EI-ELP doing a test flight in the colours of its next operator UTair Ukraine - really nice scheme. This airline is a subsidiary of Russia's UTair and currently operates a pair of ATR42's. Danish carrier Jettime's B737-33A OY-JTA departed for home following two weeks maintenance. Then a really nice one - a Bombardier CRJ200 XT-ABG on delivery to Air Burkina in full colours. Aircraft registered in Burkina Faso are kind of rare in Ireland - in fact the last one I remember seeing was an executive Boeing 727 in Cork being used by Michael Jackson many years ago.

Thanks!

An amazing Saturday, only about 500 people there in total and every aircraft you see above was flown! Sometimes about 5-10 at a atime and an amazing WW1 atmosphere. The slow speed and fragility of aircraft of this era was totally apparent as the flypasts took so long!

The company that restores many of them is here: Vintage Aviator. Interesting reading!

This was a few weeks ago at NZMS Hood Aerodrome at Masterton. Part of ANZAC day commemorations The full website about the day has some great photos here

I'm so lucky to have seen that many WW1 era aircraft at once!

Nice shots Qantas, when were they taken? I don't think the 340 is a regular visitor to Dublin? though I have seen TC-JIK here.

I thought I read somewhere that DUB's runway isn't long enough for the A340? Or is it only the A380 that can't fly here?

Dublin's runway is long enough for both the 380 & the 340, its the taxiways and apron which can't handle the 380. The 340 is fine, its pretty much just a 330 with 4 engines!;)

I think the clarification is that the DUB runway can't accomodate a FULLY LOADED A340/B777. They can operate fine from DUB but are a little restricted in their range/payload.

The planned 2nd runway would be longer than the current one thus allowing DUB to handle all aircraft up to the A380 at max ability.

Is it a taxiway or stand/jetway restriction on the A380? I thought they had to design it with a wingspan under 80M(?) to allow it to operate to current airport standards. I was under the impression that the B747 when launched forced many airports to upgrade to handle it and since then Boeing/Airbus have followed certain size restrictions.
