Had my change today to capture an incoming 747 (Started early, didn’t do lunch etc) so when to the Airport for around 15:30. And eventually the beast arrived.
Whatever you think of these aircraft, it’s a amazing site when you see one land/takeoff. With Hellenic Imperial Airways bi-weekly flight to Athen-Jeddah you’ll get an opportunity to see it a bit more often in brum. Another date for your diaries is the 9th September, on that day Emirates will be using an Airbus A380 instead of the 777. Not too sure where i’m standing yet, but I’ll probably take my step ladders!
