When I worked near Manchester Airport I used to remember the Pregnant Guppy aircraft flying in the distance taking parts from one of the UK factories to Airbus..

Now Boeing have created a monster, the Pregnant Jumbo :D

I think there is one remaining flying Guppy in the States but there is one curently being restored just as a museum piece at Bruntingthorpe.

hmm how many changes of pants was needed on those landings?

I know from past experience (long time ago thankfully) that aborted landings arent a happy place to be in a 737...

Not sure if you know about this free app FlightRadar24 , pretty interesting to watch the locations real time. Also handy if you have to pick someone up form the airport I would guess :)

I use PlaneFinder. You point your IPhone at a plane in the sky and it gives you all the details.
