Berlin, Jan 09
.....Awful shame Tempelhof is closed now. What a magnificent location for an airport .....

3rd photo is gorgeous. Were you in an aircraft?
I was in Berlin in June, unfortunately wasn't able to make the trip to TempleHof. Some serious construction going on at SXF in preparation for its becoming BBI.

Thank you. Unfortunately its not mine. .
That photograph is on public display inside the airport terminal. It was actually taken while Berlin was still divided. During the Summer of 89 I was told.
I only include it here as I thought it might be of interest to people.

Cheers David, didn't realize RJ's were 3+3 seating, always assumed 2+2 or 2+3 at best.:)

Yeah I thought the same, its a tight squeeze.

The outdoor photos are a good bit better than the indoor ones, and the close up ones indoors are better than the further distance ones, probably just the low light conditions inside which are causing the blur, camera needs to be rock steady if used in low light. (just a guess though:D)

Wait what?!

Not great quality. Getting slowly used to a new camera. Didn't bring tripod and the cold meant plenty of shivering, so mostly useless shots.

Also diverted from LHR
2x American Airlines 777
2x BA 744

Steyr

Great shot, nice to see T2 getting some "heavy" business, Please post more.

Weather diversions, LHR is at this time still closed, looks like these Aircraft will over night, DUB and SNN are now at full capacity.

David086

Good shots, hope to see some more. I didn't know a 744 could land in EIDW. They must of dumped some fuel?

Indeed, its almost like the artists impression of T2 from 2-3 years back.
Will be interesting to see them all checking back into T2 in the morning. ggod trail run for the DAA!!

Really miffed I didn't get a chance to take a few shots. Taxied past them but too hard to take a clear focused shot though a window in the twilight.

No need to. They would have been lowish fuel anyway. But DUB has no trouble with B747s. Air France Cargo sometimes uses a B747F, Singapore cargo B747F up to a few years ago, the EI B741s till 1996.

The thought may have arisen due the runway length in DUB being a limiting factor on fully loaded heavies being able to take off. IE, a B777 or B744 cannot take off from DUB at max load.

David086

Yeah I knew about the 74F's and the 777 load factor.

Anybody know when these birds will leave? (if they're not gone already!)

Wow! They're all diversions from Heathrow? Amazing! I wish Dublin was always like that. Well at least T2 is getting a good bit of testing!

Those heavies will depart today DAA Twitter: We have 7 diverted wide-body aircraft on the ground, all expected to depart today. 2 American, 2 BA, 1 Delta, 1 Virgin, & 1 US Airways.

Got this from the Daa's Twitter also.

Andrew42

Anyone know the reg's of the 2 AA's parked at T2, 1 inside the 2 BA's and one inside the Virgin.

A few of the shots from today...

It started out very cold (-7) and overcast.....






Then it warmed up a bit (-3) and the sun came out too








About half past 3 they closed the main runway for de-icing and the aircraft used rwy34




No sign of the rest of the heavies leaving any-time soon and as I type this DUB is closed due to heavy snow....

Now I'm off to sit in the fridge until I thaw out....
