Channel Airways' Exciting Scottish Charter Flight

[Aharon Dayan]

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

May I present some local Dublin travel agency's special Scottish tour charter flight flown by Channel Airways BAC 1-11 from EIDW Dublin Airport 6.2 miles north of Dublin in Ireland to EGPE Inverness Airport 8.1 miles north-east of the city of Inverness in Scotland?

Excited Irish vacationers boarding the plane



Long line of airport vehicles waiting patiently while the BAC 1-11 was starting engines (Aerosoft vehicle AI traffic is smart to know not to get behind jet blast or not to get in front of taxiing plane)



Nice wing view of airport vehicles waiting patiently for the plane to start engines and push back



Look at how pretty early sunrise morning is



Airport bus rushing very late passengers to board the BAC 1-11 plane



Nice tail view, engine view, and sky view   What more can you ask?



Pushback is completed and now the airport vehicles finally resumed their traffic way



Starting to taxi to short of runway 10





Dig the view!!



Still taxiing



Cannot resist tail view



Love the cool airport name neon lights!



Still taxiing long way to short of runway 10





Airport spotters trying to take above the airport security fence some nice photo of this plane



Holding short of runway 10 awaiting for take off clearance from the airport tower controller



Starting take off run!!!



Airborne on climb to FL210



Passing background view of Santry which is suburb on the northside of Dublin where you can see lake in Santry Park



Making left turn to go north along Irish coastline leaving background view of the Dublin airport visible behind the plane tail



Still climbing northward to FL210 with view of EIDW airport below the plane



Climbing above waters of Muir Eireann





Climbing climbing in front of sunrise view



Making little left adjustment to fly along eastern shore of Ireland



View of eastern shore of Ireland



Crossing rich green land of Ireland



Approaching city of Belfast where you can see motorway M1 entering into Belfast



Passing center of Belfast where you can see River Lagan on left side of the plane, motorway M2 coming out of plane's nose, and Lagan Weir docks



Passing EGAC George Best Belfast City Airport which is adjacent to the Port of Belfast and is home to Bombardier aircraft manufacturing facility



Wing view of huge lake called Strangford Lough



Crossing waters of North Channel to head to north Scotland



Reaching and crossing Scotland



Cruising across Scotland



Approaching city of Prestwick with the view of River Ayr



Passing EGPK Prestwick Airport located 1 nautical mile northeast of of Prestwick and 32 miles from the city centre of Glasgow. This airport in good glorious old times was widely used for refueling stopovers for Atlantic crossing flights from Europe to America or for charter passenger flights and personnel military flights.



Approaching city of Glasgow where you can see Glasgow Science Center dome on River Cycle and Ibrox Stadium ahead of plane



Passing EGPF Glasgow Airport located  8.6 nautical miles west of city centre of Glasgow where you can see motorway M8 and "circular" exit 29 just off the left wing



Crossing Glasgow and its River Clyde



Crossing Glasgow indicated time for descent to 11,000 ft



Passing rolling hills of Scotland



Passengers trying to find view of Lock Ness in this famed lake



At 11,000 ft



Have to fly straight ahead to above waters ahead to get around high hill to make left turn toward airport runway 23



Passing high hill on left which means time for left turn





Making left turn above waters of Inner Moray Firth of Inverness



Making final runway approach





Perfect approach path



Seconds before touchdown



TOUCHDOWN





Deep braking producing lots of tire smokes is required for short runway!!!



Exiting from runway 23 toward gate





Arriving at gate



Parked at gate while ground crew was getting ready to load luggage for BAC 1-11's next trip



Airport view





Those ladies were waiting impatiently for BAC 1-11's flight to London





Look at 2 guys trying to fix luggage tray loader with background of busy Fed Ex trucks



Thank you for viewing. Stay tuned for next exciting flight!!
