I've been very drunk at the pub at Blackpool airport with a friend who flies out of there and has more takeoffs than landings in his logbook.

 

[Erm yeah that’s hard to pick one]

You’d be amazed the number of people at air shows who would come up to a sub hunting aircraft on static display and ask how deep they go…

Spinning hilarious lies and stories to the general public has to be one of my favourite air show past times when I'm voluntold to work them.

Relatively short runway, night time approach in poor visibility. Non precision approach (possibly). It's not hard to get it wrong.

Just remembered they do this:

Surprised there are still quite a lot of flights going on today over the UK.

Surprised there are still quite a lot of flights going on today over the UK.

Things pick up back to normal again tomorrow and the long haul fleets in particular all need to be in position to continue the schedule. There’s also the rest of the world that doesn’t celebrate Xmas who overfly. Today is the quietest of the year for air traffic but it’ll bounce back again tomorrow.

Weirdly visually looks like one of the busiest days at a glance on FR24 I've seen in awhile, though the stats say a roughly 30% reduction compared to the 22nd and approx. 58% drop compared to the busiest point in 2023.

Anybody listen to AirBand?

Occasionally.

There’s always a big dip in traffic on Christmas Day.

My receiver stats demonstrate this perfectly.

Yep non stop

Anyone else get treated to a fly over from a North American P-51D Mustang today.

Sounded amazing and caught me out to start with as it is usually Spitfires that fly overhead, but the sound was not right.

Love the sound of a Mustang.
