It’s nice to see some of these birds flying! I believe this bird is still in storage in Cranfield…

I guess I some old birds in here! And one which needs some wings 🤔

They are usually parked on the other side of the airport on a disused runway by the ARFF building.

Pictured here with an XFly AT72-600 (former ES-ATC) wearing the @flysas.com livery. It arrived after the operator went bankrupt following the cancellation of their contact.

Felt like posting. Here’s a decommissioned Avro RJ100 at Cranfield Airport. The airport is home to an MRO facility specializing in this aircraft type. There are a few of these old birds stored there, likely as parts

A university owned Saab 340 used to demonstrate the physics or flight to aerospace engineering and air transport management students!

I got to experience a couple of maneuvers, including a 60° turn, dutch roll, pheugoid motion, short period pitch oscillations, and a couple more things

My only complaint: the app and website got confused and said the flight was operated by SN even though it said A220 🤨

I had the pleasure to fly on SM2048 recently, and the hard product is better than SN's aging A319 fleet! Soft product is identical except everything is in English only.

Tui Fly Belgium OO-JDL taking off from RNW 07R at Brussels Airport in 2019. Tui will soon terminate its long haul services out of BRU.

The aircraft itself has been flying out of Amsterdam since May 2024, with occasional visits to BRU. It is currently in heavy maintenance in TPE.

Well at least in Europe they still show the correct name

For a second, I thought that was my cat!

Anyone else miss seeing the Eurowings Dash 8 Q400s? Pictured here is D-ABQM landing at Brussels Airport in July 2019.

Former Jota Aviation and Brussels Airlines Avro RJ85 at Cranfield Airport. I doubt this bird will ever fly again, it's not in the best shape and is missing all of its engines

P4-RLA, an A319ACJ, pictured at Vienna Airport in March. This aircraft seems to spend much of its time on the ground, only flying a couple times a month.

I've found one article saying the aircraft is (was?) owned by a Ukrainian billionaire: antikor.com.ua/en/articles/...
