Don't forget we are filling @ThinkPlanes considerable slot tomorrow morning! Massive thanks to Simon and Lizz for offering me the opportunity to ruin their Friday morning regular audience 🤣
I'm hoping to be live from 06:00 to bring you the best (most average) of the early arrivals and departures from the side of Runway 23L.
Hope you can tune in and join us for lots of average action.
Cheers

It's the return of the Brains and Planes quiz... 🤓
This is something we used to run for all channel viewers but I let it slide as my workload got too much over the past few months...
Anyway, it's back and here is your first question. A nice easy-ish one to start off with.
What is the colour of an aircraft's Black Box?

Happy Wednesday!
We're down to HARD level for the Triple-T. No-one guessed the aircraft or airline at impossible level.
I have a feeling, someone may guess the correct answer at this level 😉
Good luck and remember it's your first guess that counts!
Cheers

Hey everyone.
This week I am aiming to be streaming as follows:
Friday morning (start time 0600ish). I will be filling Simon’s considerable slot.
Saturday afternoon (start time 1300ish). Finally got a free Saturday afternoon again.
Hope you can join us for one or both streams.
Particularly looking forwards to the Friday morning show 😀
Cheers

Tuesday Tail Teaser - No Winners This Week
No-one managed to guess this week's Triple-T. It was a stinker, sorry 😔 Will go back to more recognisable ones for next week.
Drew was quite close noticing the brown colour and saying it was an older aircraft, but he said it was a 767 or something...
Anyway, it was the gorgeous Bourkhan A340, which was taken at Stansted Airport a few years ago. Believe it or not, this is a private jet for a very rich Russian chap called Alisher Usmanov. The aircraft cost $240 million with a further $170 million spent on upgrades.
It's one of the largest and most expensive private jets in the world!
I've seen it a few times and it's a very impressive aircraft indeed.
Thanks for taking part this week
Cheers
