Interesting Movements 2020

[McG]

Thanks all. From what I have found on Google, it seems this is a relatively new build, late 2019, of a 2020 spec aircraft and is registered to Textron (owners of Cessna).

It also has quite a nice colour scheme.

Are TUI not due to resume GLA ops within the next week or so?

TUI B738 are currently sitting on stands 24 and 26, 75 remains where it's been.

Looks like TUI were getting FDZD and TAWX ready to start flying again. However, their plans will be affected by the recent change in advice regarding Spain.

There is a Notam out indicating RFFS Cat9 on Monday 3 August and Tuesday 4 August between 17:30 and 19:15 instead of the present norm. of Cat7.
As Cat9 is usual for the Emirates when they operate, suggests wide body movements.

Above times are Z so add an hour for local

NOTAM = Notice to Airmen (maybe it should be NOTAP now)
RFFS = Rescue and Fire Fighting Services (the CAT refers to number of appliances, firecrew etc required based on the size of an aircraft)

Handy table showing the different RFF categories for aircraft types.

I was contacted yesterday by an old friend from down south who reckons that the Antonov AN225 is due into Prestwick Airport on Sunday at 2pm. Has anyone else heard about this?

Thanks for the information and the link to that great video. At the rate things are going it looks like Prestwick will be the place to go to for Interesting Movements in 2020!!
