Not LBA related, but Atlas Air Boeing 747 481 Freighter N429MC just passed over Cookridge and slightly to the East of LBA at fairly low altitude, climbing out of DSA en route to Chicago. What I would give to see a 747 back on the ground at LBA, but it ain't gonna happen sadly.

If this is the same Chinook I heard and saw, it had company, as there were two of them.

The 2x RAF Chinook HC.4 in transit this morning were ZA708 callsign "Alien1" & ZA711 callsign "Alien2"
RAF Puma, XW216 callsign "SHF230" did a missed approach to runway 32 this morning around 09:30

We have an Air France Hop due into Leeds tomorrow (Wednesday 25/07/18), its operating an inbound charter bringing Olympique Lyonaisse in to play Huddersfield Town FC.

A59080 ETA 11:15 / A59081 ETD 23:45 = from/to Lyon

 

[White Heather]

Las Palmas are playing Leeds at Elland Road before the season kick off, so I wonder if they will charter a flight from Gran Canaria, or fly scheduled. Or maybe they are already in the country.

Anyone know if this will be the first Air France Hop flight into LBA or have they been in before?

 

[oldendays]

I'm fairly certain HOP has visited a few times before with Embraer 145s.
