A busy day!
- Starting off with "Gauntlet 52" preforming an ILS go-around at 1020. This was Airbus A400M ZM406, the latest one
- Calling Ronaldsway at least twice today were Typhoons out of Warton. Always routing from the north of the Island and then over Douglas at about 3000ft before returning to Warton with the callsign "Tarnish05". Interesting..
- Arriving at 1200 and departing at 1330 was PA28-181 G-BVNS
- AW139 ZR283 was back again today preforming NDB holds followed by go-arounds at 1340
- Cirrus SR20 G-CHPG departed at about 1415. It looks likely this dropped a pilot off to pick up Resident Breezer 600 G-OBZR which was for sale. So possibly the last we will see of it
- With the nice weather it was nice to see some of the resident light aircraft flying:
PA28 G-AYPV
Robin M-LEKT
AA5 M-PHML
Bulldog G-BZFN/XX667
- NextJet ATP SE-LLO was finally ready to leave this morning but upon taxy it encountered a problem with the steering, so had to carefuully return to the hangar. It is currently on a test flight to the North of the Island as "NextJet9806"
- Calling up at 1610 for an ILS followed by 5 visual circuits was "Pirate 16" from Warton. This was 100sqn's Hawk T.1 XX200/CO
Some photos taken today:
