Dublin or is it Addis Ababa?
Dublin or is it Addis Ababa?
With good weather forecast I decided that yesterday was a good opportunity to make the most of the summer morning light.
An Early start, out the door by 05:00 in order to be in position for the departures of the three scheduled Ethiopians - two are tech stops, while the third is a new Addis-Dublin-LAX service.
First up just before six, Boeing 777-200 ET-ANP to Washington.

Ten minutes later, it was the turn of ET-ANQ to head off to Toronto. This is normally done by a 787.

3) Ethiopian Airlines by Niall Grant, on Flickr

The LAX flight is scheduled to depart at 06:15, but it was over an hour late departing - probably just making sure everyone was on board.

An added bonus for yesterday was the latest addition to the ET fleet, ET-AQP, dropped in on a tech stop at 12:00 during her delivery flight from Seattle, via Washington.

Between the african traffic there were quite a few other regulars worth shooting.

Re: Dublin or is it Addis Ababa?
Cheers Andy,
More than pleased with the ET 737, it was due at 09:00 but then got pushed back to midday.
The ET heavies are all regular so it's making Dublin to place to catch ET's in Europe.
