What a busy day! and what a way to start the month.
Where to start, well at the start I gues, first interesting move was the Milan flight, Air Explore Boeing 737-400 OM-CEX (was once G-DOCI). Arrived 09:20 (AXE4550), departed 10:20 (AXE4551). Regular C560XLS OO-CEH in 10:10, out 12:00.
Cessna 182 G-BILU and Cessna 310 N315P in sometime this morning. G-BILU departed at 09:50.
Next up was an aircraft that kept coming back, Flybe E195 G-FBEG has been working from Ronaldsway all day, working certainly Manchester flights, first arriving at 10:30.
This was followed at 11:00 by Dassault Falcon 900 G-EGVO, parked on stand 1 all day.
Todays Easyjets were G-EZDU (EZY633/634) and G-EZDM (EZY635/636).
Next in was Beech Baron HB-GPC just after 12:00, the aircraft operated by the 'Federal Office of Civil Aviation'.
In at 12:25 was Learjet 45 M-RWGW, parked on area H.
Went home for lunch and missed Hawk T.2 ZK010 performing an overshoot of 26. Also missed a couple of GA arrivals.
Perhaps the most unusual GA aircraft of the day was N8004B, a Lake LA-4-200, which departed around 15:20.
Close behind for title of 'Odiity of the day' would be Krohn Air BAe J32 LN-FAQ, arriving whilst I wasn't there, parked at F2 and remains there at the moment.
Todays BA Cityflyer saw the first visit of E170 G-LCYI from LCY.
The afternoons other GA movements featured the following aircraft:
G-HAMI Fuji
G-OGGM Cirrus SR-22
G-KNCG PA-32
EI-CGH Cessna 210
G-GALA PA-28
G-IVII Vans RV-7
G-CBSO PA-28
O*-*AJ Mooney Bravo (Acklington or Marquis has the reg)
G-AHCL Auster G-BWMI PA-28 Turbo Arrow
G-CDLD Pegasus Quick
G-JEZZ Skyranger
G-UFCI Cessna 172
N8523Y PA-30 Twin Commanche
G-CCHA DA-40
Army BN-2 Defender ZH002 passed south of Ronaldsway at 16:50.
The day was closed off with the arrival of Canadair Challenger A9C-TLH at 17:50
Don't think I've missed anything else?!

The Mooney was a M20J OY-NAJ. I beleive there were a few more arrivals later on in the evening - these should be covered in tomorrow's reporting.

It's been another of those days.....
First off was the very early arrival of Thomas Cooks 757-200 G-FCLH, departing at 07:40 for Alicante.
Making a welcome return after 3 years without any, an Eastern Airways Jetstream 41, G-MAJU, was in from Humberside with a charter at 08:10. To make space on the main apron it was parked at F2 with the Norwegian J32 for most of the day. It departed at 18:50. Glad it was MAJU, the only one of the lot I didn't get a shot of! ;D
The headline act for the day was British Airways A319 G-EUPC 'Firefly' callsign Speedbird2012 from Liverpool, arriving at 09:30. The aircraft parked across stands 12 and 13 for the day. It departed at 17:20 for Belfast City, still as Speedbird2012.
Plenty of other commercial interest. One Flybe Manchester turn round was worked by E175 G-FBJD. BA Cityflyer E190 G-LCYK came in during the afternoon, and has overnighted for tomorrow mornings Thomas Cook direct flight. Easyjet today was G-EZBD. Also in was Dornier 328 G-BZOG, operating the Loganair Norwich flight, presumably covering G-BWWT.
There were a couple of biz moves today. Cessna 550 G-OMRH arrived at 09:15, departing at 09:35. Falcon 900 G-EGVO departed at 17:50.

EI-DUJ Eurostar
EI-EOU Eurostar
G-BAEO Cessna 172

G-CEIW Europa
G-OPJD PA-28

I can't add much to David'd report but would mention that the Hughes 369 N7NP went to Andreas initially (not sure if it was the field or a private site) and came down to RWY for fuel.
Heard routing in to several private sites were AS350 GLARR to Douglas; R44 GBZOP to Kirkmichael and Peel; and R44 GDORM which routed overhead Peel to somewhere.
Sadly, what would have been the rarest visitor, Cessna 120 EIAEF was defeated in his efforts to get here by deteriorating weather and returned to Dublin, along with Cessna 172 EIING.

This mornings Palma was indeed G-LCYK, also Flybe E195 G-FBEE came in to work the Reus charter, meaning 2 E190 variants on the ground together. Also Hunter G-PSST is due in tonight, displaying in Douglas 19:30-19:45 before overnighting at Ronaldsway. The Hunter will depart tomorrow at 09:00. www.heritageaviation.com/index.php/miss-demeanour-display-dates/ |

Quieter today, though busier than most previous TT Mondays.
Still sitting on stand 3 was 'Longtail 6' Falcon 900EX VQBYT which arrived yesterday evening; whilst Hunter GPSST was resting after its display last night - it departed about 0930.
First in today was Phenom 100 GNUDD (formerly MINXY) which stayed all day on V.
ADAC Beech 350 DCADN paid its second visit (first in 1997) presumably collecting an injured biker.
Several GA paid second visits this TT along with 'first timers' Cessna 182T GCEFV, Cirrus SR22 N600LB, PA28 GHMED, Cessna 172 GRUIA, GDSKY DA42, GPPLL Vans RV-7A, GOBJT Europa, GJOYT PA28 and Flyer 62B was GCLYF again.
Elsewhere R44 GBZOP was again flying into a private site, whilst a newcomer into Peel late afternoon was R44 GPOET.

More photos of TT madness, continuing on from the 1st of June, and starting with a very early start on 2nd June;  The two Linksair Jetstreams G-LNKS and G-JIBO (flying for ticket agent Manx2) shortly after dawn at 0545!  Thomas Cook 757 G-FCLH looks like this on approach to 26 at 0610! The only time of year that the sun shines from this angle.  And on sooped-up Kingair D-IVAN  757 G-FCLH then took off on 08, into the rising sun  A crop of light aircraft arrivals then followed, including Mooney G-BKMB which was baulked and had to overshoot. Then on his second approach he was baulked again, started to overshoot, but went for a late 'dirty dive' instead and landed veryyyyyy-long.  The weather then worsened quickly causing at least two light aircraft to abort completely, but this Skyranger got in. However it was a brave act of controlling to sequence this hotrod it infront of .........  "Speedbird 2012" G-EUPC    Aer Lingus put on a larger ATR72 EI-SLL from Dublin  And Flybe put this larger E175 G-FBJD on Manchester (my first one!)  Eastern sent G-MAJU as a charter, resulting in this unique view consisting of G-FBJD, G-EUPC, G-MAJU, and LN-FAQ  Another first was CityFlyer E195 G-LCYK, positioning in ahead of the LCY weekend closure, and to do an early charter on Sunday morning.  The southside light aircraft parking area filled up by lunchtime  Including Mooney OY-NAJ  And Irish 'thingy' EI-DUJ Next up is the 3rd June ........... |

With the lousy weather I did not venture down to RWY yesterday and heard only PA28 GMPAA and regular C550 GOMRH go in.
However an early start today (crack of what might have been dawn if it wasn't raining so hard !) and at 0645 the following "new" were noted parked around:- Twisters GSWIP and GZWIP on the north apron; TBM700 N700S on a hardstand to the south; Cessna 172 GBRZS, PA28s GBNOP & GTEFC on the south grass park.
Oh... and at 0710 Global 5000 M-BLUE arrived from Montreal for a short stay before moving on to Le Bourget - fortunately the rain stopped just before he landed enabling reasonable photos - he parked on the south apron next to Falcon VQBYT.

Yesterday (5th) Twin Star G-DSKY made a couple of rotations to/from Blackpool as "WhiteStar 02 / 3".
I'm told that the Cityflyer 175 was G-LCYD (which we ain't got!), and also a Flybe 175 took off just before LCYD arrived, but hadn't been noticed arriving (somebody should have gone to Specsavers!)

To add to todays moves, regular Cessna 525 G-TBEA arrived not long after M-BLUE left. By 10:00 PA-28s G-BNYP and G-TOLL were also in, as was Ecureuil G-VGMC.

Yesterday's E190 was GFBED again.
Later arrivals today were the neat Ultravia Pelican UL PH-DOO which has the name "Scooby" (get it ?) on its second visit, and Arrow 4 DEKHW which rather confusingly is partially covered by a canopy from GBJYG !!!
Today's only Easyjet GEZEZ carries the letters BER and inscription Berlin Brandenberg Airport, plus a picture of former German PM (or President ?) Willie Brandt - was so busy reading this off I forgot to get a photo !
Finally (perhaps), as predicted by my contact (accurately !) Lufthansa Cessna 525 DILHA performed an approach and go-around as "DLH9912" at 1708 before heading off to Inverness.
