Shannon Airport early 2000s

[stemai]

I have recently been going through all my oldish pictures to edit them and put them all on to cds. I thought id share some pictures from various trips too Shannon all taken in the early 2000s when the american forces used there on a regular basis. Anyhow on with a few pictures from there, hope you enjoy looking at them ?.

Shannon airport



Some of the many US trooping flights
































Shannon also used to get a good amount of bizz jet movements



















And finally the rest. You were always guaranteed a few good movements on every trip too





























I hope these have been of interest to someone?. Sorry about the quality on some pictures but i only had a little hand held camera at this time and not a SLR

Thanks for looking ste

WoW!! some great stuff there Ste. We went there about ten years ago and there was just a small USAF presence. Thanks for posting. Regards Beemer.

All those pictures were taken from around 10 visits i made to here. The last time i went i was like you brian only seeing a few USAF flights. And they were by 757s and 767s nothing as good as a tristar or a dc-10

Brilliant selection of pics from some airlines I'd forgotten about!

Plenty of DC-10 photos too - my favourite wide body tri-jet of the day.

Thanks for posting Ste.

Thanks for posting.


One thing I noticed was that the Ryanair livery hasnt changed at all over the years.
(although I think I once flew from the IOM back to Liverpool on a Ryanair BAC One-Eleven which was white...long time ago ).
