Iberia's A346 visits LHR during the peak travel season. Occasionally A346-VIP versions also seen here. I like the A346 in Thai Air livery but South African Airways is boring
      And I'd love to see the look on the face of those who swear that 346 are gas guzzlers and are dying breed and are there to bring destruction to any airline who uses them ..

      I wonder if the bean counters at the airlines heard about the apparent destruction that the 346 can cause Armchair critics Galore I guess

            Nice Shots! Does bird strike happen a lot at Washington Reagan? Reason I am asking I read on some website that birds come quite often to the pond which is located next to the runway. It creates issues of Bird strikes.

                Surprisingly, bird strikes do not happen that often at Reagan. I think it is diverted mainly by the noise makers that are installed next to the runway. Before a plane is set to land or take off, these machines make loud popping noises, which send birds flying away from the runway in good time before planes are set to arrive. There has not been any incidents of bird strikes at the airport in recent memory, it would likely make the news around here if any such thing did happen. However, a bigger incident which caught national aviation attention here in the United States was a close call, where a controller instructed one plane to land while another one was on the runway. They concluded that this was caused by fatigue, as controllers were being asked to work dangerously long hours.

It transports the deported Sri Lankan assylum seekers from XCH to CMB. http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politi...418-2i31q.html. This aircraft visited CMB also on 18/19 Apr 2013.

                  Seems as though these Australian Air Force Airbuses are visiting CMB a lot these days

                  • Does anyone know which plane President Rajapaksa takes when he visits the United States. The chance of seeing a Sri Lankan Airlines plane at a US Airport is next to none, but he visits New York and Washington DC (where I live) usually when he comes to USA. He frequently goes to New York for UN meetings, but I cannot find any pictures anywhere of a Sri Lankan Airlines plane at JFK. Does anybody have an idea?

                        This is probably going to Edmonton (YEG)

                          I just checked on Flightstats that shows Air Canada operates daily flights to St Johns (YYT) on A319 ? Is that correct ?

                            Yes, AC operates seasonal flights to YYT, but I'm not sure if they use an A319.

                                Correct! AC operates YYT-LHR flights during the Summer only. I think there is no sufficient passenger demand to operate for all seasons on YYT-LHR sector Flying hours between YYT and LHR is only 5:00 or 5:40 hrs so St Johns is very closer to Europe than I thought.
