BEST OF AVIATION 2017

Somehow this is even longer than the last one!

Well, we've reached the end of yet another year, and it's time to recap on how it's been. The year has been full of ups and downs really, but for me in the aviation world it has been nothing short of fantastic, so let's set the scene!

We started the year with a foggy day at MAN which brought us an A380 Go around, shortly after I finally saw my first A350, this has since become a regular at MAN but still nice to see! February was arguably the best month for me, my first proper trip to LHR, Storm Doris and it's 11 incredible go arounds a few days later, then the fantastic trip to Funchal flying out on the now defuct Monarch and back on EZY's 250th Airbus. An amazing experience!

After then things calmed down, a few trips to MAN and LPL with some fairly interesting movements and a couple of go arounds, then I took my GCSE's, and i'm very happy to say I came out with 11 GCSE's Grade A* to C! To celebrate me and my dad did our MAN-HAM-GDN-LPL Trip flying with Wizzair and visiting Poland for the very first time. this trip was very quickly followed by my July DUB trip and my holiday to Barcelona which was fantastic. Shortly after getting back I was off again, to Hamburg and Dublin respectively, on both of these flights I was finally able to fly on Ryanair's new sky Interior, EI-FZB and EI-FTD! Along with flying back on Aer Lingus!

Moving into Autumn things started to get a bit windier, we had Storm Aileen and Brian which brought about some fantastic windy landings as well as a couple of go arounds, my best of the year being the Eurowings A320! There was also another epic Dublin trip!

And finally the year ended with some chilly MAN and LPL visits. The final trip of the year took place on the 29th December where I got to try the FlyBe ATR's for the first time when I flew to the IOM, More footage from that soon!

So to wrap up it has been an absoluetly amazing year, big thanks to all who have helped to make it as good as it has been!

So all that's left for me to do is wish you a happy new year, all the best for 2018!

A very long video recapping a fantastic year! Nice video mate

[Carmen]

LOL
I clicked on this video for running music, thinking it would be Tom Petty, Pink Floyd, etc, and stuck my phone in my pocket just as the music started
My entire run I was thinking what perfect music it was for the early morning, but what was the connection to aviation?
Ahhh, I understood once I took a look at the video.
Great music!
And awesome footage!!!
