December 10, 2006 by PilotDreams EX-201, Hargeisa, IL-18, Mogadishu, Somalia No Responses.

It was fantastic to see 2 operational passenger IL-18′s at the same time in 2006. Both in active service. Both of these 2 IL-18′s are operated by the same airline. Mainly used for flights from Djibouti to various destinations inside Somalia.

4 Props in Africa

December 8, 2006 by PilotDreams Djibouti, EX-201, IL-18, Mogadishu, Somalia No Responses.

As I walked down the stairs of the 737-200 I glanced over my shoulder to find my next flight. She was parked at the other end of the apron with doors open to allow some wind to blow through her.

While I was waiting for the CEO of the airline to call me I realised I had the departues right outside my hotel window here in Dubai. I was told not to go spotting here due to the security, but now that I had it right outside my window there was no stopping me…

First hop on Cityhopper

September 26, 2006 by PilotDreams B777-200, Dubai, DXB, F70, KLM, KLM Cityhopper, PH-BQH, PH-KZC No Responses.

The day before my flight I logged on to http://www.klm.com/ and did my check-in online. Smooth, no queues and I got to select my seat in the comfort of my home. I love that feature. It’s a pleasure to scroll back and forth in the cabinlayout searching for the best still available seat.

One of the great flights I’ve done was on an assignment filming YES L-1011 Tristar CS-TMX from Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic (PUJ) back to Lisbon, Portugal (LIS). The Tristar is a fantastic aircraft. Old, yes it is but she looks oh so good!
