Rwy 07/25 + UAL c/s

[Pricey]

Hi Guys,

 

1) Does anyone know when 07/25 at YSSL will be operational again?

 

2) Does anyone know a reason for UAL having the two colour schemes? Just curious...

Pricey, The old scheme is the gray/dark blue. The newer one is the light/mid blue. AS each plane has some serious maintenance done, it may have its skin repainted.

Hi Pricey..the two colour chemes had always fascinated me too..as UA 840 flies over my house every day it was one of the few big boys that I used to be able to spot here in Wangaratta..I was always determined would fly on it one day! I did some research a year or so ago on the colour schemes and found some info..if i still have it or the site I will pass it on.Tim

Just noticed I called the UA 840 plane a big boy. Have a feeling ships are girls aren't they?..How about planes..wonder if they are either / both boys or girls?

Planes are female Tim, with the possible exception of military aircraft.

Thanks Kaye..thought that might have been the case.

Unless it is gay (ummm happy gay lol) or one of those special 'trans' Pacific models LOL

To answer the question of 07/25 June I believe is correct.

Don't forget that N121UA a UA B744 is painted in the Star Alliance scheme too , so that makes 3 colour schemes !!

Antonov 225 female? I would think not guys...

 

I have always thought anything smaller than a Jumbo was female, Jumbo or larger must be male.

 

Then Qantas go and name an A380 Nancy...

Looking forward to 07/25 reopening. Moved to Bexley in July last year, right under the outbound flight path. Then they go and close it on me...

Much as I often say I love everything Irish..thats not quite true..that bloke Murphy and his Murphys law has a lot to answer for! Seems like he diddled you Pricey! Bad luck ! Oh well..it will be re-opening again.

 

I'd be writing a letter to Mr Murphy if I were you. I have quite a stack of them here I should send..if only I knew his address.

Great Veiwing area under the Rwy 25 Approch path. I can remember sitting under their while the planes flew over head, smelling the Aviation Fuel and listening to the Jet's strut their stuff. AHHHHH the Memories.
