Just seen this coming in to land at Faro, anybody got any info?



ETA: preceded by a C130, been here over a week seems unusual

It’s Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud‘s private jet.

Take the long way home! ETOPS issues we think.

I spotted a Virgin 747 coming up from London into Glasgow yesterday. Seemed to circle South of Glasgow before landing. Any ideas? More just out of interest. Assuming holding or dumping fuel. Never knew the 747 came into Glasgow/Scotland really!

Virgin fly to a Orlando from Glasgow I believe. It would have been a positioning flight.

Great are they all going home?
Does this mean no more pimped Bentaygas double parked on Beauchamp Place(knightsbridge) causing gridlock?
