Ronaldsway Tuesday 11th April

Movements noted today,

- Pilatus PC-12 M-YAKW visited a couple of times

- Eastern Airways Embraer 170 G-CIXW positioned down to Stansted at 10.00

- Eurocopter AS-350 G-CIWO came down from its Andreas base 3 times today for touch and goes (and yes it is a Helicopter on skids!)

- Eastern Jetstream today was G-MAJY

- Piper PA28R-201 G-CEOF visited area W for a few hours

- An unusual callsign talking to the approach frequency today was "Cargolux 775" Boeing 747-800 freighter LX-VCF routing Prestwick-Luxemburg low level at FL90. Looking at data it has been sat at PIK for almost 2 weeks, my guess is pressurisation problems.. Quite a surprise hearing that!

Some photos taken today,

(I've just noticed there are actually sparks coming off the metal skids, strange?)

A Luxair B747 was stuck at Prestwick after a helicopter it was carrying leaked fuel into the plane
