    What would you see besides a few light aircraft and an ATR or two? Is there anything exotic?

    Arg, mixing my ICAOs there! I saw EIDW and leapt to the conclusion that it was EIWF! Silly me!

    Btw, there may well be some chaps from this forum there on Saturday, one or two seem to always be hopping across for some photage.

    Well, nowadays I spend a lot of time at EIDW, but I still haven't seen the L-100.

    I'd show you around if I wasn't going working in *a certain MCD event undiscussable here* on Saturday......

    If you're around Friday afternoon, let me know.......

    Even still- you wont see any cargo aircraft operating on a Saturday! they all operate at night on weekdays

    Hi Jon,

    Welcome to the Board, those "Rockets" are fuel tanks. Then again if you were an Anti War nut you would say they are "Bombs" on their way to murder people in Iraq......:rolleyes:

    Not a C-130. Air Contractors use a Safair L100-30 which is a stretched civilian version of the C-130. This aircraft was probably previously on the Sao Tome register when it operated in Angola for Transakrik

    The Air France cargo plane (747) used to fly in on a Saturday, not sure if it still does though.
