Today I flew down to Corfu in Greece with Alex (one of the Training Captains in NCL). Given it was the 5th Anniversary of 9/11, I hoped the day would go well. Corfu is well known to be an interesting airport to operate into given step ground all around, the town being at one end of the runway and the lack of an ILS for instrument approaches.
As it was Alex made a nice visual approach to the Northern runway and once on stand we had a lovely view of landing aircraft coming in on runway 17 (the wind shifted direction slightly).
Unfortunately we had a bit of delay as a deaf passenger didn't come to the boarding gate and had to be tracked down in the terminal before we could close up the aircraft and return home. Hence, I managed to get some pictures of landings, a MyTravel go-around and a video of a B737 landing. I hope you enjoy them!
Following on from my Type Rating, CPL/IR, and Hour Building Blogs I now progress through to actually working for a living as an airline pilot. Last summer I had a 6 month placement with MyTravel Airways in Newcastle; now I am fully employed by Monarch Airlines out of Birmingham Airport flying the A321.
