More planes

I do not know if I fall into the category of aircraft groupie or aircraft paparazzi, or shall I just say enthusiast. These photos were taken at the Port Elizabeth yesterday, when about 200 aircraft ferrying fans descended on the city.

P4-MES Roman Abramovich's Boeing 767-33A/ER. Note the cheeky smile.

I am glad to see that Kulula was flying the fans in as well, complete with their soccer branding, after their spat with FIFA over their "Unofficial National Carrrier of the "You Know What'" advertisement.

Tail and wing tips of SAA Airbus A340-200, ZS-SLB. I really like these colours. 

Soccer fever - Flying in the fans

Sue and I went on a jaunt to the Port Elizabeth Airport to see the arrival of ZS-SLB, an Airbus A340-200, the largest SAA aircraft to ever land at Port Elizabeth Airport. It was bringing in Brazilian supporters for the game against the Netherlands.

Parked on the runway was P4-MES a Boeing 767-33A/ER belonging to Roman Abramovich, owner of Chelsea Football Club.

The planes just kept on coming in.......................... a South African Airlink BAE Avro 146-RJ85

I have never seen so many planes flying in to Port Elizabeth or waiting to leave.........

................. they were banked up down the runway, waiting for a parking space while other planes leaving made a place for them .......................

.........and the planes kept on coming

ZS-SLB taxi-ing in with its contingent of Brazilian supporters.

Brazilian players disembarking complete with the dreaded vuvuzela- world soccer will never be the same again.
