Lotus Posted November 15, 2019 Share I've just had my first sighting of an A350 (LATAM) flying overhead. That's one big-ass bird! Long Wheel Base and Bateleur1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted November 21, 2019 Share Looks like LWB's new baby is getting a shakedown flight. But the colour scheme looks odd! Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bateleur1 Posted November 21, 2019 Share The old A300 had the registration ZSSDD first I see. The old A300 looks a bit worn down now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted November 21, 2019 Share You should see ZS-SDC as well. The pilots are doing training. Lotus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus Posted November 21, 2019 Share I remember those A300's landing at what was JS Airport back in the day. I specifically remember that they used to touch down with the main undercarriage but would then keep the nose wheel up off the ground for quite a while.

Long Wheel Base Posted November 22, 2019 Share So the next 2 A350s should be arriving soon. The ZS-SDE early next week and ZS-SDF 1st week of December. These 2 are brand new from the factory(owned by air mauritius-we leasing them from MRU) so will come already ZS registered and should hopefully start with revenue flights soon after as most of the checks get done at the airbus factory. The 2 we got a few weeks ago were registered last week finally(ZS-SDC and ZS-SDD). Still a few cabin changes and mods to be done till they can fly.

IICR a few pages back when it was on it's way here and still china registered the pic was of the A350 but in hainen colours but in reality it was our colours.

MrJacques Posted November 22, 2019 Share We flew up from PE to JHB yesterday morning on BA6248 (Plain white number ZS-TGB) The landing was a little bit rough, but not overly so and I heard a lady shouting. A minute later I look back and realize why - one of the roof panels came loose. The aircraft seems to be one of the older 737s. Someone else took the photo.

Lotus Posted November 22, 2019 Share Just a quick shout out to LWB and the good people at SAA, to wish you strongs in these difficult and uncertain times. It can't be easy and we feel your pain.
