May be a bit early, but does anyone know when they are due back? And will the An-124 bring them back?

Cheers.

Default Hey Chris did u get out onto the apron?

Hey Nick,

No I didn't mate as I had to get home as I had some tradesman doing some work installing a Gas meter to the house. Got home and found that they had taken out a water main and some 5 hours after contacting the water board someone showed up to turn it off!

So missed the departure as well!

I trust you got plenty of photos?

Also any ideas on the September arrival?

Hey Folks,

Here are two of mine from today...

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewqueued_b.php?id=2052151

P.S. I'll change the links when they get screened

Can confirm it was 105 and 37. And they are definitely going for the centre barrel replacement.

The Hornets are off to L3 at Mirabel in Toronto for replacement of their Centre Barrels.

Currently nine jets are contracted for and I think there are 15+25 options, taking the planned total to up to 49, although I doubt anywhere near that many will eventually be done.

Cheers
