Grey plane- airline ending with 'k'?

Posy · 2011-05-26 19:27:19

Hi, I seen a plane going over my house near Dublin airport just before 8pm. It was a blue/grey plane and had a blue tail with white writing. The word on the tail ended with 'k'. It was a really big bulky passenger airplane. Anyone have any clues what airline it would have been? It didn't look at all familiar. :confused:…

May have been Star Air/Maersk 767 perhaps?

Shockingly enough, I actually thought of googling it and couldn't find anything that matched what I saw.
You may notice that your result did not contain the correct answer.
Thanks for your help. :rolleyes:

Thank you for your actual constructive answers, it was a Maersk 767. I was confused because it wasn't on the Dublin 'arrivals' list.

Thanks again guys.

Thanks, I'll have to keep an eye out for it, been looking at planes all evening, they're flying low today!
I seen my first 'Scandinavian Airlines' plane and was quite excited.

I never even thought about that being a cargo plane, thanks!

The only wide bodies that you would see on a weekday evening landing /taking off are the Fedex freighter DHL/UPS&TNT ones,And are normally the first ones back in the morning.;)

there's an etihad (a330) which leaves in the evening too - we weren't able to close main runway for works during the winter until it departed so it's burned into the memory!

This just leads back to this thread so you're after creating an infinitely recursive problem
