Remarks: Busy day at the BA maintanence area at LHR with quite a few heavies parked for inspection before resuming long haul flying later in the day...
Remarks:Bedek 9 returning home after a 6 hours test flight together with 4X-CZD which is used a target plane to test all the radars and other equipment which is installed on it...(1600pix wide)
Remarks: Seen here about to start taxi with its right winglet missing after falling apart inflight due to lightning strike while on the inbound leg from LHR earlier in the morning. Luckily, no substantial damage was caused to the wing or the airframe and the aircraft arrived salfley at TLV. This was quite a lucky day in light of the recent Air France A330 crash, believed to have been caused by the same thing. thank God everybody is OK...
Remarks:"Duca Degli Abruzzi" just rolled out of the hanger sporting its new SkyTeam colours and seen here being towed from the Bedek ramp to stand EH5 prior redelivery to Alitalia.
Remarks:"Tel Aviv- Jaffa" leads the way with B777-200 4X-ECE, B767-200 4X-EAE and B737-800 4X-EKF flying closely behind as thousands of people watch during the Independence Day 2009 airshow over the coastline and city centre
