Two SAS Airbus A340-313Xs at their gates.
The
aircraft nearest us is LN-RKG "Godrod Viking" c/n

One of the CFM-56 engines of Scandinavian Airlines
A340-313X LN-RKF "Godfred Viking".
Quite interesting to see the engine reversers
deployed while parked. |

Our ride for the CPH-MAN leg has arrived (a bit late, though).
It's MD-82 OY-KHT "Gorm
Viking" and notice the name! |
17:05
Over at the D-pier, we could see one of the two
MD-80s with Snowflake yellow tails.
The picture
shows MD-82 LN-ROU "Ring Viking". |
17:09
Just before we boarded "Gorm Viking",
I got this closeup shot of "Gudrod Viking" parked
on other side of the pier.
The men in the cockpit
wouldn't say hello, I guess they were too busy. |
After having boarded "Gorm Viking", the
next 1h 40min were spent in the air on SK541.
We
landed shortly before 19:00 and after having picked
up our suitcases from the conveyer belt,
we were
met by our third spotter colleague from Norway
(He arrived the day before that lucky B).
The three
musketeers were now complete and ready to conquer
England -
Ole Johan as Aramis, Kjell Oskar
as Athos and my self as Porthos.
|
Before
starting serious spotting in Northwest England,
we needed some sleep,
and the Radisson SAS Hotel
at Manchester International Airport was perfect
for the first night. |
