    Most likely a 737-300/400, Throw up your flight number, doubt it will be a Ryanair aircraft

    Though we weren't supposed to be putting up regs due 'security' reasons. Has this changed?

    But there must be at least 3 x EI-STA's?

    It seems that it takes half the country on their holidays every summer!! Non-stop charter flights for that machine.

    Thanks Prof Plum yeah both flights were great, was that aircraft alright a 737-300. Very nice trips came back last night, was chatting to the pilots, very experienced and good craic. Both ex Iona if anyone remembers them. They had flown Bandits, Shorts, 727s 757s among others, felt extremely safe and in good hands. Cabincrew very good,(fab) really care.
    They also operate flights for Ryanair on 737-400s and DHL during the Winter. Both also were ex Ryanair 737-800s pilots.

    Flight was about 445 taking off with 14 tons of fuel and landing with 4 tons so yeah I can see its a good range aircraft and the tanks werent full! Even got a copy of the plog! Lots of lightenings over Europe last night but we passed over most at 36000 and boy wot an approach into Dublin last nite, Was heavy rain, cud hear it hitting the roof!

    Kusadasi wudnt go again bit of a dump really.

    Got some nice fotos but unfortunately cant post here.

    Thanks to the Air Contractors crew and well tbh was the best flights Ive ever been on.
