Where did Tim say the Star Alliance was coming? I only read that he was "hoping" for it to come in today.

The aircraft is now over by the pond so anyone on QF drive should get a decent view. It still has its engine covers on so it isn't going anywhere this morning.

Hi Lloyd,

I don't think there was any 'shooting down' in the previous posts, but more comments made in jest. I thought the use of emoticons would have shown that.

I think everyone here appreciates that aviation is an unpredictable industry, and that things don't always go as planned. The airlines with their schedules can't get it right all the time, so what hope do the punters have with the 'corporate' stuff?

For the more exotic stuff that arrives (like an Amiri flight rather than 'just another Gulfstream'), yours and others info is much appreciated. I wouldn't have a clue what/where your sources are for these flights, and truth be known, I don't know where to look even if I wanted to find out first hand!

So please, keep the info flow coming.

Regards,
Nigel

Thanks Nigel- the balanced voice of reason speaks again! Glad someone still has a sense of humour here.
No offense was intended by my post Tim, I was more cranky at myself for actually getting out of bed to drive out there in the rain.

I must say that most of the information of upcoming flights posted is usually accurate and sometimes the original source is at fault.

This reminds me of an incident reported on 'civil-spotters' which is the UK equivalent of 'oz-spotters'. I used to subscribe to this group but you get between 100-150 e-mails a day which is too much to digest.

This incident involved someone posting a non-event (as a joke I presume) stating that a Russian a/c was due into Stansted (I think) with the registration UR-DIM.

This was in the middle of winter and after it became apparent that this was a joke there was a bit of an uproar as some people actually got in their cars and driving in heavy snow got very upset when they discovered it was all a joke. They were more concerned about the possibilty of serious accidents than the actual 'joke'

The reg should have given it away but we are a gullable lot sometimes!

Talking

Any update on the departure of this one - anyone?

(yes - I know - subject to operational requirements or other unforseen circumstances.)
