Today's Qatar in heavy winds.

Today's Qatar in heavy winds.

Once again unlike the plane that crashed in Dubai they got the power on, established the climb and then went for gear up. Going for gear up first clearly not the best way round.

Video from Thursday featuring Icelandair, Qatar and Emirates go-arounds:

Interesting to say the least. I can't say that I'd fancy being pax on one of those

This was taken on board the Qatar Dreamliner that went around. Things start getting interesting at around 12:30, I think one person may actually be vomiting. The clip includes the eventual landing in STN.

The comments below the video make an interesting read.

Some superb flying in the first video. It certainly looked interesting in the second clip although I think I could hear some laughter at times.

Great video's guys, thanks for posting

 

[Daza]

Amazing videos as others have said I wouldn't have fancied being a passenger on one of these flights and Mrs Daza is not good with flying at the best of times.

Birmingham Airport - July 1990. Plenty of 1-11s and 727s

Great find, jyy1999. Brings back a lot of memories with most airlines shown now either ceasing to exist, in different liveries or using aircraft types no longer in regular use.

I noted Aero Lloyd, one of the airlines no longer in being. I flew on an Aero Lloyd A 321 from Salzburg to Bristol once although the one in the video seems to be a MD 80 series.

Inter European Airways was a Cardiff-based carrier owned by the Aspro Travel Group of that city (founders being the Asprou family). It operated mainly out of CWL and BRS although it did have a facility at Larnaca where crews and sometimes aircraft were switched. I once travelled BRS-LCA-BRS with IEA. Later in the 1990s it was bought by Airtours and merged into that airline so its modern day successor (via a roundabout route) is Thomas Cook Airlines.

Great video, it bought many happy memories flooding back

Is it sad that I enjoyed seeing the old cars as much as the aircraft?

Love the video from 1990 I may have been there on Friday evening! I noted the Air Malta 727 I think it was BHX based operating for a IT operator and BHX based TEA UK great memories.

Clear proof that the government are trying to poison us with mind altering substances . Now where's that tin foil hat ?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Looking at the conditions this is astonishing footage

What's that big bright yellow thing in the sky? ;-)

I think someone accurately predicted what flugsnug may be up to during Storm Doris

A week on Thursday these will be a regular sight

And the Busy times will get a little bit busier for those nice summer days over at Sheldon Country Park.

Cant wait
