SP-LDH Embraer 170

The return segment of a kinda mileage run. There and back, the plane has not changed, the crew is the same. So after a quick walk out and back in to the terminal I get on board and am not the last one on it! :) Nice light makes for a cool lighting conditions during the flight. After departure a great overview of the airport in Pyrzowice, both runways (old and new) easily visible. Landed on time. Nothing to complain about on this short journey.

LO3885 (1640-1730) WAW-KTW
SP-LDH Embraer 170

The first segment of a kinda mileage run. There and back to Katowice. A low load factor, a small delay (around 35 minutes) on departure (making my turnaround in KTW shorter but still easily doable). Boarding through the jetway and soon after we are waiting to line up on the runway. Up, straight, and down, a couple of turns and we have arrived at Pyrzowice airport. Very quick hop, I'd be one of the first out if we wouldn't be taking a bus, as it makes no difference in that case. Absolutely nothing to complain about the flight.

LO454 ARN-WAW 2015.12.06

After the bankruptcy of Estonian the government of Estonia formed a company that in cooperation
with Adria took over the network after Estonian. As Adria doesn't have the resources to do it with their own metal they wet-leased different machines (an BAe ATP from Nextjet, a couple Fokker 100s and Embraer 145s for different routes from different airlines). So I decided to go and try catch the ATP on a international sector. Combining it with some sightseeing in Tallinn and a short stay in Stockholm throughout the weekend sounded like a good plan. It later expanded with a couple of flights on a smaller BAe, the J32. The trip started on Friday and ended after around 48 hours with a flight back to WAW from ARN.

SP-LDH Embraer 170

It's still dark outside when I wake-up. I take my things and direct myself for the bus to Arlanda. There I quickly check-in and drop my bag after which I'm free to head airside. Having still time to the scheduled departure time I do some last minute shopping, eat breakfast and take some pictures of the local traffic. The weather is no different that the day before. Cloudy, shady and rainy. The time to board came. A small load of around 25 passengers today. Lots of space for everyone. A smooth flight. Landed on time. That would be it. The little Embraer once again did a fantastic job. Love it!
