Alright, Gentlemen, so please go tell the people at IOS Skybus the time of Twotters is over...

Preparing for T/O at Plymouth Airport

Just another quick look... (to make sure it's not Ronaldsway)



And we're trying RWY 33, everything else would not be fair...



Here we go, 10 kts below VAT



Bang! (spoilers out two seconds before touchdown)



Next time I'll try to catch the taxiway at first go... promised...



Thank you for flying BAF, now you know why we've equipped this aircraft with Recaro seats...
