Recent trip to Bulgaria...

Postby EGNX » Mon Feb 13, 2006 8:48 am

On a TU-154.  ;)

This is the terminal building at Plovdiv, left side is for departures and the right side for arrivals. Inside the terminal there was 1 shop, 1 suitcase scanning machine and 1 check-in desk, All to be shared between around 350 people. I took this photo as we started our half-a-mile walk across the apron to the plane.

Here she is, LZ-HMI. One of the coolest, loudest and good looking planes to ever to reach the skies. In fact this plane was the exact same one which flew out on.
Image

Cruising high above the ground, (Dont know how high because the pilots never spoke to us, and when the air-hostesses used the tanoy you couldn't hear them over the engines ::))
Image

Just took this pic as we parked up at East Midlands. If you look close enough you can just make out an easyJet A319. Lol (Sorry for quality on that one)
Image

I quickly snapped this one as we were leaving the plane.

A perfect end to a perfect Holiday!  :D

You should have popped in for a cuppa while you were in this corner of Europe (I'm only a few hundred Ks up the road)!
I managed to get some nice snaps off an old Malev 154 two years ago.... cool plane 8)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

You probably flew not more than a couple of hundred Ks from my flat! I don't know.... next time take a parachute as hand luggage and "drop in" literally ;D

I didn't know these Russian beauties were used on western routes! I always thought they only went east-bound! Sweet shots!  :)
