Emerald 748
This might have been mentioned - but since I have been away from the Forum for a while, I apologize if its been brought up before but,
The other day I was sat outside work on Lunch - There is a direct flightpath to Blackpool Airport that goes overhead, and a 748 whizzed over low level - presumably on its way to landing. It looked like it was one of the emerald ones, are these flying again under a different company but in the same paint scheme?

Re: Emerald 748
Hi,
Didn't know Janes had bought some - thanks for that info.
It wasn't in that livery though, it was definatly a emerald livery. Odd to see one flying about round here, first one I've seen flying in a while.

Re: Emerald 748
They have been slowly sold on so perhaps there was one airtesting before a paint, if indeed any new customer would wish the cost of a repaint :think:

Garry,
That could be it. In any case it was nice to see a 748 flying again, has always been one of my favorite planes.

Re: Emerald 748
Make the best of it as well because there are not that many flying Worldwide now and very few in our part :-(

Too True.
At least we can always fly it in Flightsim thanks to Rick and the team.

Chris,
Didn't know that - surprising really, thought Duxford or Cosford might have had one at the very least...
