Yes. It's crazy how long the upper deck is on the 747-8 (pax). It's as long as a 737!🤯

@@EMAPlanesOh Wow!😯

Thanks! I was going to say hi to you but I didn't didn't know if you were filming or not. Will probably no doubt see you again there at some point

@@EMAPlanesno worries mate, feel free to come and say hello! Hopefully see you up there one time 👍🏼

It is definitely a sad thing to see. Like all aircraft, nothing lasts forever. I don't think it'll be the last for West Atlantic as they are downsizing their 737 fleet

Thanks! Yes, I'm afraid nothing lasts forever

EMAPlanes oh hon, you've given me a precious opportunity to see my fav cargo jet flying for the first time since he found me two and a bit years ago and I've followed him on fr24 ever since! So sad yesterday to know he was going into storage and Im praying they dont scrap him. Been crying most of today as he is my fav jetxx thank you sooo much EMAPlanes bless you for capturing his final flight xx 🤗😭😘😘

@AeroProductions747 Thanks. It's not as exciting as the AN-124 we're expecting this week😁

Thanks! I'm using the panasonic FZ-82. Had it for over 2 years now

@@EMAPlanes ive got a Nikon P900, but looking for something a bit better, what's it like?

@aviationstation22 It's really good. It's got 60X zoom which is all I need for what I do. It definitely takes sharper photos than videos I've noticed, and struggles a bit at night. But apart from that, it's a pretty decent affordable camera👌

Where abouts do you stand to watch them? I’ve only been to the aero park not sure where is best

www.spotterguide.net/planespotting/europe/united-kingdom/east-midlands-ema-egnx/ this should help. Spot number 4 and 5 are probably my favourite

@zacheryboodhai2002 Thanks!👍

Thanks! Looks like G-ONEE has been fixed and arriving tomorrow morning😁

@@EMAPlanes yes I saw that, hopefully it’s smooth sailing from here: G-UNET is now gone to either get the new liverly or maintenance aswell

Probably both, it'll most likely return with the new tail livery. Also looking forward to seeing G-ONEF at the end of the month as well

@@EMAPlanes oh yeah, I hope to see G-ONEF soon

@Jordan_Aviation196 Ikr! You can't make this stuff up! One Air aren't having much luck with their 747s 😔

@@jamieaviation3984 thanks!

@DannoAviation yeah your right. It was down to the lack of slots more than likely.

@@Jordan_Aviation196 thanks a lot👍

Actually no, it went up quite early I thought. There was quite a strong head wind I remember, which no doubt helped it get off the ground easier

@@EMAPlanes Oh Wow, Looks Kinda Slow To Me, MaybeThe Headwind is Making Her Look Slow😅

@WillPearsonAviation nothing better waking up and seeing an IL-76 on the arrivals list😁 never seen an IL-76 after this day...

@@EMAPlanes Ah Mate, Can Only Imagine The Feeling When You Check FR24🤩 Do You Reckon it’ll Ever Come Back?😃

Very unlikely as we won't see Volga-Dnepr IL-76's because of sanctions. And Silkway only has 3

@@EMAPlanes Ah Yes, Very True😃 Bet it Was Quite The Sight😃

@EthanAviation Thanks! Not had many late evening golden hour trips this summer compared to last year, as it's just been too cloudy and miserable unfortunately. Hopefully the weather improves in the coming weeks🤞

@@EMAPlanes I went up last night, I agree it would be nice to go up and have a warm evening with clear skies and get the cargo rush, hopefully in the coming weeks the weather lets us!

Yeah, I just saw your video - nice to see you managed to catch the JCB Bombardier👌

@@jamieaviation3984 thanks mate👍

Thanks. This is probably one of my best videos from this summer so far!

@@EMAPlanes yes it’s probably one of the best from the summer

It usually takes a week or so for it to be repainted and to go out. It'll no doubt turn out all white as it's heading to SmartLynx Malta

@@EMAPlanes ok 👍

Thanks a lot!

Yes, I've always used the FZ82. However, don't use any lenses on the camera

@@EMAPlanesAlright, what tripod do you use?

@@EMAPlanes Cheers 😀

I think it's the only Green livery in the MNG Airlines fleet

Yes indeed. I quite like it😁

@@EMAPlanes 💪🏽

Interesting. Do you know why they are painting them in white. I know N740CK is now white (previously in the DHL hybrid)

@@EMAPlanes No clear reason has been given. I imagine it is because they are getting older but who knows.

@TheJakeUtube Probably. The 777-300ERSF's will no doubt replace the older 747-400BCFs in time.

@@EMAPlanes definitely

In a way, yes. It's been parked at EMA for 3 weeks today, waiting for a new engine. It should be back flying by the end of the week hopefully🤞

Thanks. Just something a little different👌I did however manage to catch the ROM Cargo 747 going out yesterday evening during golden hour😁

@@EMAPlanes nice 1

8pm

@@EMAPlanes oh

It was definitely a nice sunset when we left

Thanks! We had an amazing sunset after the 747 landed.

I wasn't too far from the new mini roundabout that leads onto the new estate in Castle Donington.

@@EMAPlanes ah ok i went past there on my bike. did u see any 1 on there bike with ginger hair

@jamieaviation3984 no I didn't. There was however quite a big crowd where I was. Btw the C-17 was carrying gold back to India👀

@@EMAPlanes ah ok Yh some people had parked on the double pink lines near DHL

Thanks!
