Great heads up, Gordon!! Thanks. :)

I dunno,
I grow weary of treking after one disappointment after another.

Arrival and departure will be after dark anyway, unless you can catch her at a stand.

Sigh..........

Interesting how the national airline of a poor country run by a military dictator suddenly got a brand new fleet of US-built airliners shortly after 9/11. Hope someone gets a good pic as our tax dollars largely paid for it!

Just saw her landing on 13L. Even in the dark, very nice looking. It also had one of the special tail schemes, such as the one worn by some of thier 747's

Here is a picture of her leaving BFI:

Damn my schedules where all messed up. She took off from JFK at 22:10.

...which was 0310Z on the 23rd. It left an hour earlier, but it's not like it made the difference between daylight and nighttime.

I just saw a pic and I must say she is quite the pretty bird...... Too bad it was here in darkness maybe London would not be the first city to have a pic...

[SengaB]

Screwed out of another one.

London wouldn't have been the first city to have a pic..the flight continued to Manchester, which is 200 miles nw of London, and is a much better place ;-)

It's also known as spotters paradise (to non-regulars) To me it was the most boring airport on earth, with not much variety!!

Does anyone know if PK7182 actually carried passengers from JFK to MAN and then onto KHI?
