  • Virgin Atlantic Airbus A340-600 registration G-VNAP has been in storage in Tarbes since 2015. With the problems with the engines on Virgins 787 dream liners they have had to bring this aircraft out of retirement and back into service to cover the 787's. It got painted at MAN and when it rolled out of the paint shop it had a special slogan written on the side, 'A Big Virgin Atlantic Thank You'. This is for the employees of the company as a way of thanking them for their hard work.The aircraft flew from MAN - LHR on February 13th and will be based at LHR for the foreseeable future.

      my dad ferried a 777 from Seattle to Newark. He loved it! Said it climbed out like nothing he's flown before, got cleared up insanely high and cruised fast. Took some cool vids walking up and down the empty aisles during the flight as well. Crazy to see an empty 777 at 40,000 ft haha.

    Retired now from flying but we all loved positioning flights. Light with only fuel and no payload with minimal engine derate, the 757 used to go up like a homesick angel, god I loved that aircraft

    • @TheSilverTechie
      @TheSilverTechie 5 лет назад

      Nearest i got to a positioning flight was Air Europe LGW to PMI. The flight was a scheduled service, but was overbooked.
      25 volunteers were asked to accept a delayed departure, so i volunteered.
      So 25 pax on a B733 minimum payload was like a rocket ship. We were like fl20 at the airport perimeter and i had the last 5 rows to myself. Memorable flight that, especially as the cabin staff looked after us so well.
      Air Europe went bust the following year I think. Great shame.
