Stansted, Toulouse/Blagnac & Toulouse/Francazal – Tuesday 5th February 2019 (Grant Robinson)

Hi all,

Here follows the final day of our recent three day trip to take in more new Airbus at Hamburg & Toulouse. Another early start out from Stansted saw us board Ryanair’s EI-EKZ out to Toulouse.

Stansted

EI-EKZ, Boeing 737 NG 8AS/W, Ryanair (38508)
M-ABGV, Learjet 45 XR, Ryanair (45-421)
N486MC, Boeing 747 45EF, Atlas Air (30608)
N903FD, Boeing 757 2B7SF, Federal Express (27124)
OY-APM, Gulfstream G450 (4305)

Toulouse/Blagnac

Almost 100 new Airbus/ATRs were seen over the day but when we first arrived, we struggled to see anything as it was pouring down with rain. The visibility was so bad that nothing could be read off at first. We had plenty of time and so we just waited for the situation to improve and we were not to be denied.

The day before it was wall to wall sunshine and on speaking to someone who was there the day after us, they had fog all morning.

Toulouse/Francazal

By mid afternoon, the awful weather had halted for a bit and we felt that it was the moment to go and do Francazal for what is now becoming the usual large haul of ATRs.
