  1. Great shot, Gav! Now if only the scimitar winglets were fitted in SZB!
  2. Will BNE be the first route? PK-XRA appears to be conducting a proving flight there today
  3. That would be great fun, flying circuits in a light heavy
  4. OK-NES 2014-06-13 Kuala Lumpur (KUL) - Dubai (DWC) OK9285 2014-06-13 Dubai (DWC) - Prague (PRG) OK9285 Skyliner also reports 9M-XXM as positioning to ALG on 9th June for summer lease to Air Alegerie.
  5. Not an addition, but fleet related. 9M-AHI is flying this summer as OK-NES with CSA Czech Airlines. Skyliner reports it ferrying out of KUL on 13th July
  6. Twin Otter Spotter reports DHC6's 9M-MDN and MDO as being retired from MASwings and subsequently registered to Unity Group Ltd (Canada) as C-GKTM and C-GKVT, respectively.
  7. Challenger 850, 870 and 890 are all factory conversions of the CRJ-200, 700 and 900 respectively, but you are correct, the article is not referring to a Caterham order.
  8. Wells Fargo are the go-to bank for many aircraft transactions in the United States - particularly foreign aircraft owners who want their aircraft have an N-number/registration (which can actually lead to increased resale value given the strict FAA regulations that are imposed). Whilst this aircraft may be registered to Wells Fargo, it is no doubt operated for a very wealthy firm/individual with no connection (beyond financial) with Wells Fargo themselves. There is over 6300 aircraft registered in Utah, a large proportion if not the majority will be in someway connected to Wells Fargo
  9. http://www.jetcraft.com/blog/2013/09/05/bombardier-crj-200lr-7864/ - was this aircraft not intended to be the first "Caterham Jet"
  10. Not a delivery, however A343 9M-XAB is back on regular D7 runs operating a run to PER today.
  11. Security at any airport is not just the reponsibility of those employed specifically for this role - who simply can not be everywhere, all the time - but also that of all airport/airline staff from the cleaner to an airline CEO and everyone above, below and in between. To blame the security force for these major incidents is not totally fair, nor will it necessarily resolve the issue from occurring again. Many airports are also harnessing their volunteer security workforce - spotters - most of whom have a sound understanding of what is considered "normal" at an airport. Whilst in this specific case would have been no use, it is proven that spotters are excellent sets of eyes and ears to ensure the security of an airport is upheld.
  12. They have often admitted their worst mistake was not ordering 777's!
  13. Heads up for KCH spotters: http://www.billpeachjourneys.com.au/tours/private-air-journeys/passage-through-ancient-cultures-by-private-jet-sydney-to-london/ Flight is ops by JetGo Australia ERJ-135
  14. Vast improvement over the current offering
  15. That livery is fantastic! Great shots!
  16. The "Twin Otter Spotter" blog has a couple of photos. It looks great. See:http://www.twinotterspotter.blogspot.com
  17. Between a 500 and 600 series there are no external differences. The big changes are the flightdeck and a newer version of the PW127. The only way to tell other than rego, is to look at the top of the fin (it says 600 instead of 500)
  18. Great stuff, Patrick! Especially like the head on with 9M-FIA.
  19. Air Paradise International...that brings back some fond memories
