Yesterday 01/03/2006 me and Tim De Meijer went to Dublin.
We went be plane and came back at night. It was a cold day with wind between 30-50km/h and some scattered clouds providing some shadows from time to time.
(scroll down for the LOG)
Day report:
We departed home (Pulle) at 05:00 for Charleroi Gosselies airport.
We arrived 07:00 and we could check in a half hour later , checking in numbers 007 (Tim) and 008 (Me) , wich means we SHOULD have received boarding priority. But when arrived at the boarding desk (after a looong time of waiting)children with their parents (of course) could enter first , but after than , they let the left row in first , wile we stood RIGHT IN FRONT of the desk as first , WITH priority boarding charts!!! We even where in the top 10 first visitors! Anyway , when on the plane it was OK. We could take a seat somewhere seat 23 E & F or something like that. So wich means we where seated right behind the right wing (seen from IN the plane). We took off on time around 09:45LT as FR 043 (Ryanair B737-8AS EI-DCG) While cruising we passed a snowed BRU. We also could see something what might be the renewed shiny atomium. Then we disappeared above the clouds for a wile , to enter a open North Sea so we could see the ships cruising. When entered England some wide scattered clouds appeared. We could see 3 airfields , among them one that might be Farnboroug...?
Unfortunately for my dear friend Tim the stewardesses weren't aloud to pose for the picture
.10Minutes before landing we had to declare (a small) medical emergency. The crew immediately had to intervence by admitting oxygen out of a bottle to the passenger.Because of the immediately and professional intervence of the crew nothing went wrong. We could land safely without a delay and the paramedics could take the passenger safely offboard. Police held a watching eye. When we disembarked on the remote Ryanair stands at Dublin Collinstown we already saw the Ryanair B737-800WL logojet EI-CSW. We entered the airport building , and passed trough the passport control without any problems (of course). We first went for a breakfast and then we went for some action. We walked to RWY 28. The fence was already build from 2 sides TO the spotting place , right in front of the spotting place they where still busy with replacing the fence. So from next week it's done there. You will need a small ladder to spot than. Although we had nice light and a beautiful view. In the evening we went back with Ryanair B737-800 EI-DCX as FR 048 we left DUB at 20:10LT on time (RWY 28 via E1 )and Unfortunately took a hard RIGHT bank instead of a turn to right like all the other planes , so we could not see the airport anymore from our side of the plane. We even had to leave 4 rows empty starting from the backside of the plane. Reserved for ghosts
haha...probably for the weight and balance (saving fuel) of the plane since it wasn't a full plane. While overflying the Belgian coast I meant to have seen a plane landing at EBOS around 22:07LT (ANYONE TO CONFIRM??).
We arrived CRL on visual approach. We took a heavy right bank so I could see the plane turning towhorts the runway trough the mist. Really nice. We landed CRL 22:23 about 20min earlier than expected. The end of a long day.
