And to make it more "interesting", 16 will be the active runway, parking close to the threshold area is easier, and it can be very thought provoking to stand close to the runway as the heavier aircraft are landing, the effects of the wing tip vortices can be quite amusing on occasions.

This is a drag reduction program for a Boeing 727-100 involving winglets and wing re-contouring (flap and slat system modifications). Significant drag reductions were produced, and the program was awarded an FAA STC. Alligator had responsibility for all aspects of installation of test equipment and data acquisition for the program, involving 80+ channel digital, analog, low-speed and high-speed data acquisition. (September 1990 - March 1991)

With the inclusion of extra fuel tanks, it has turned the 727 into long range aircraft.

TNT 146 plodding over Athlone, looks like a positioning flight to Shannon

Are they serviced there?

More likely to be positioning in for a horse charter, they were quite common from Dublin when I used to work on the ramp.

Oscar Bravo · 05-10-2014 09:10PM

the Luton flight was delayed earlier, on the ground at knock at the time was the Stansted flight. so what Ryanair did was they operated the luton fligh ex knock using the aircraft the from Stansted flight. the aircraft will then fly to Stansted then back to knock fro about 2200 . a lot of messing passangers about up there this evening!
