Plane A little test - identify the trijet Plane
This is a little test. I spotted this trijet heading west over Ireland three days in a row, and wondered how quickly someone could solve the mystery as to the airline and the exact type. I think I know what airline and a/c type it is. I reckon someone will know the information straight away as soon as they see it! I reckon she was on the upper air route UL70 between the points BAGSO and NAVAN. Extra kudos will go to the person who can identify the departure airport and destination!
Mystery trijet 1
I first spotted this trijet from the Hill of Tara on Sunday evening, April 1st, 2007. This photo was shot on a 170-500mm lens on a Nikon D70 at 15:16Z. The plane is shot as it is almost overhead, slightly north of my position, heading west.
Mystery trijet 2
On the second occasion, I snapped her as she sailed westwards on the cruise from the Hill of Slane, a day later, on Monday, April 2nd, 2007 at 18:18Z. She is south of me on this occasion.
Mystery trijet 3
For the third day in a row, she appeared in the skies above me, this time over my house in Drogheda. Again, she's heading west. It's interesting that the huge decline of the trijet means seeing one is now a treat. This photo was taken at 17:49Z.
Mystery trijet 4
I snapped her again for the fourth day in a row!! This time I got her at 17:20Z over Drogheda. Of course, by now you should have guessed what the airline and aircraft are. If not, follow this link to find out!
Martinair Cargo MD-11
Caught him again! This time on April 12th at 18:10 local time, westbound.
