Is anybody out at Finkenwerder today/over the next few days for the unveiling and test flights of the first Asiana A380?

For the LHR photographers, if you like your Boeings you'll get the chance to see both Delta and Ethiopian 777LRs this summer season. Delta puts them onto one of the daily Detroit flights as of the summer timetable change, and Ethioian start sending them once a week (on the weekend) later in the summer.

Aeromexico will start sending their Dreamliners to replace the 763 from May, but Air Canada has canned their planned 787 operations on one of the daily Toronto services.

Does anyone know when USAF C-5s tend to come into LAX? I've been wanting to get one, but never find out until after.

Thanks!

This guy (I think) is currently parked at LAX. No idea when it's leaving, but would be cool to catch:

Anybody in the MAN area this afternoon (Ed, Martin possibly?) Bayern Munich & their supporters begin arriving from around 1600 with an A343, an A346 and a Gulfstream V, amongst others.

I'll get there, but after dark.

BA 767 operated into MAN yesterday, don't know if that's a one-off but worth checking. Got some shots of it but can't tell if they're any good. (Unlikely!)

And I start work at 1700

Extra capacity for the Arsenal-City game. They were supposed to be doubling up two of the A319/320 flights but must have gone with a 767 instead.

Operated the 1200 LHR-MAN due to the 11am flight being cancelled

April 10th Glasgow : Emirates A380

SQ A380 in MAN today as well, LHR diversion apparently. Plus today is the first say of SV 777 ops.

There's been one coming to GUA frequently the last few weeks, and I always find out too late

MON9265 LBA-SFB just departed Leeds, G-MONJ 757 with Special Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway vinyls.

In high density layout and going via YYT by all accounts. Sounds delightful

I think it takes a few more weeks until the taxi- and flighttestprogram will start.

The expected EK A380 for GLA on thursday is A6-EET.

On another note, I'll be at the Airport Pub at MAN on friday afternoon if anyone is around?

Might be able to pop along, will see how work goes!

UA 764 for GLA tomorrow also

A little bit late, but A350 at DFW:

Then headed to Florida.

Nice

P4-MES is en route to DAL

Alaska Spotters have a similar thread . . . some bizarre movements through ANC and FAI . . . almost always an alert, and most of those guys/gals work at ANC and can get airside.

Apparently there was a U-2 over Los Angeles a few days ago.

I think that would have qualified as "heads up".
