Civilian Aviation

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;

A nice variety Dan. A place I've never been to.

very nice set dan

I really like the shots of the Sukhoi i have yet to see one in service only one i have seen is the one that did a flypast at RIAT a few years ago

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

A nice selection of shots...

Thanks for sharing them.
