MD-11 Dublin

A large number of aircraft that were parked at the airport have been destroyed, with the Tripoli International Airport administration claiming that 21 aircraft have been destroyed in the fighting, and that these are valued at $1.98 billion.

In total, five aircraft have been totally destroyed, including an Afriqiyah Airways Airbus A330 and a Libyan Airlines Bombardier CRJ900. An apparently derelict Boeing 727 was also destroyed. At least six aircraft have been substantially damaged, mostly Libyan Airlines and Afriqiyah Airways A330s and A320s, while over a dozen other aircraft have received light damage. Again, most of these aircraft are A320s and A330s belonging to Libya’s two main carriers.

I didn't realise that so many aircraft actually got destroyed.

I remember seeing pics of 2-3 destroyed Afriqiyah aircraft during the rebellion 2-3 years ago as well.

Wow, Thanks for the info! Certainly some interesting aircraft in that area of the airport that looks like a plane graveyard. I used the info you provided and found the accident record for it

I also noticed the 1980 LOCKHEED L-1011 TriStar (5X-AAV) , is for sale online posted here, only $950,000

Yeah I really like it, but this is the closest I have for to getting a photo of one. The tail colours are incredible, especially when you get a closer look at the mix and colour selection.

Yeah I chose the Ryanair as the title and then completely forgot to add the reg in.

Just a coincidence I saw it get towed in and took a few shots of the little I could see of it. Then I saw on twitter yesterday that it was going to the desert so I uploaded it.

Not mine, that's a fantastic catch !

Just wait till the Daily Fail get a hold of this one!

kub · 26-09-2014 8:25pm

Does anyone know why that little Qatar aircraft was doing in Cork Airport today.

smurfjed · 12-10-2014 5:10pm

Landing behind Beaumont Hospital.

I spend half my life in airports, yet i love watching professionals like these doing their daily job

Question, is there a helicopter landing pad in Beaumont for smaller helicopters?

Sorry, iPhone zoom photography !!

12-10-2014 5:35pm

ICG use a local sports pitch for landing secures by a Coast guard team. I'm not sure if there is an on site LZ for smaller aircraft.

vapor trails · 23-10-2014 8:10pm

Was just looking at some maps the other and I came across this in County Meath. Anyone know what type of aircraft is this ?

The airfield is called Dolly's Grove. Strictly private. They look like display aircraft.

Which aircraft are we talking about? The one on the left looks like a Harrier.

vapor trails · 23-10-2014 8:29pm

Yeah it was the one on the left i was wondering about. Nice collection & nice setup for the owner

Yeah I know, I wouldn't fancy carting it in and out all the time.

I was thinking about getting one to try it out

Not that expensive it turns out, I wouldn't have the space for storage yet.

It really is an amazing looking livery

The Americans had some fantastic livery's historically. I think there are some similarities between the Eastern livery and this great Delta Livery (Also on a 737)

Probably the worst place in the world to damage an aircraft, Brazilian C130 apparently had a landing-gear failure while landing at Chile's Presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva base in Antarctica.

Zonda999 · 07-12-2014 5:32pm

Great to see the Delta 767-400ER in Dublin, hadn't realised until now the JFK route had been up-gauged to that, a pleasant surprise I'm sure for anyone turning up at the airport expecting a 757!
