A recent Cardiff roundup (Sukhoi & others)

Post by welshdan1927 » Sat Jun 11, 2016 12:34 pm

Afternoon all, it's been a little while so I thought I'd share some of the action from South Wales lately.

If it wasn't for sports charters we'd be stuffed for any movements, thankfully today saw the Sukhoi Superjet arrive on it's first visit and one of it's first ever passenger flights (at least for Cityjet). Shame about the Welsh weather. Here's a handful;

Aigle Azur and Jetairfly were the other two charters this morning

Thanks for looking all, hope at least the Superjet is of interest!

A very nice selection Dan, I await the 1st Superjet in Southend once they go into service with Cityjet, we often get the London city diversions if they miss the curfew or bad WX.......
as I said a nice selection, Albastar pick of the bunch for me :thumb: :thumb:
