Well i'm back after a day's stay at Cork. Flew Ryanair, short delay out of LPL, but made the time up in the air. Went up up 37,000ft!!!! Cork was a busy little airport, nice to see the new terminal taking shape!

Cork the city...., not much to write about the place!

Flight today was OK, was ontime, got "The Pride of Scotland" EI-DAO, with the horrid interior :eek:
Flight was OK, but some low cloud on approach meant we saw nout!

Anyway enjoy!

Excellent shots Elgan. Perticularly interesting for me as will be taking the exact same flights next week. What was the loadfactor on your flights? And also was there a very sharp left hand turn on departure from Liverpool?

After a week of listening to FR9895/6 on my scanner they have always gone above FL300 on cruise for some reason! FL370 is extremely high for a 40 min flight.

I guess you didn't get flightdeck visits on your flights. :(

Thanks for posting. :)

Hi Flex, yesturday's flight i'd say was half full? Today's flight was jam packed!
We did do a sharp left hand turn, on the Wallasey 09 SID, thats standard.

I was suprised when the F/O told us we were at FL370!!

And sadly no deck visit, due as we were a bit late yesturday, and that 'DAO needed to go to Murcia i think the Captain told me :p

Thanks. :)

So you actually asked the Capt. yourself? Hopefully I'll be lucky and get one, the flight seems to always depart slightly late from LPL but arrives on-time in ORK.

That WAL 2V departure on 09 is quite fun from Liverpool, so are all the other departures from 09 as they all command a very sharp left hand turn.

Cheers

Great shots Elgan, shame about the wx. As I mentioned on msn the "100" on the EZY is to signifiy the 100th aircraft delivered to Easyjet.

I wondered at the time weather it was EZY's 100th A319, but thought again :)

What did you find bad about Cork? I have visited once before and I thought it was nice to be honest. Better than over-rated Dublin in my opinion.

Dunno, i think the fact that there was a lot of constriction going on, and the weather made the place look dull, and boring, was the factors. Won't go there again

I love visiting Dublin, but I agree, it is extremely overrated.

Belfast is my fave Irish city :).

Great pictures. Is the ERJ in the first 2 pictures of your second lot an EMB-135 or 145?
