-RE: G-OOOG
I've never flown with Air 2000, but my Father has. He flew from Manchester to Crete on an AMM 757, he did say the aircraft was spotless so I doubt if it was Oscar Golf! I myself have flown with several UK charter airlines. Although long gone, Air Europe was my personal favourite - their 757's were the cleanest airliners I have ever had the pleasure to fly on (they were new at the time) and the cabin crew were always good. Another thing to remember is that many of the 757's used by UK charter airlines are examples built during the eighties, both Air 2000 and Airtours have ex Eastern Airlines aircraft. I'm also sure that Air 2000 operate an ex Air Europe machine too.

Has any of you ever flown Air 2000 757-200 Oscar Golf. Reading an older piece of an Airtours 757 doesn't sound half as bad as this airliner from a return charter flight from Corfu to Manchester. First impressions (walking up a rickety set of Olympic Airways Handling Steps) the aircraft looked a brilliant white with the coloured strips. Entering the door on the other hand was a large mistake.
A faulty APU kept us delayed on the ground 45 mins in temperatures in excess of 45degrees, the cabin-crew seemed very in-competent and the interior was smoke stained yellow from the days of lightin' up in the air.
We are on exactly the same flight next year, 464. Hopefully we'll get a much newer aircraft. Anyone found similar???
