Gatwick 21/08/22 AM log

[zz]

Not very exciting but I'll post a log of what I saw here between about 04.30 and 08.00am on Sunday 21st, whilst waiting for my TUI flight to Paphos.
As you'll see, it was largely just EasyJet but it gives an idea of what can be seen in the early morning. Viewing was from the lounge then gate and aircraft- G-TUIF B.787 was our aircraft there and back.
I made 22 and upgraded another 12 from overflight sightings @...

Many thanks Phil. We depart for Greece soon, but from Bristol this time rather than Gatwick.

I was last at Gatwick in pre-pandemic times when myself & a fellow spotter went to Amsterdam on 12th September 2019, which did wonders for my Easyjet fleet, although we didn't fly there with them, we went on British Airways' G-EUUO. The thing I noticed most was the lack of US airlines. I don't think Jetblue had yet started there. I still await my first one of those. Indeed the only US registered airliner that I saw on that day was B737 N276EA, which was in use by a non US airline. I can't help but compare this with past visits to LGW when either going to Canada or, perhaps, saying farewell to Canadian relations who were on their way home. Such as 2nd Sept 2006: Continental N12114; Northwest N223NW, 808NW; Delta N836MH; US Airways N276AY; American Airlines N771AN, N387AM. And on my return on 24th Sept: Delta N826MH; Northwest N809NW; US Airways N271AY & Continental N19130, 17011, 78019 & another look at N12114. Further back on 15th Sept 1991 there was Pan Am N804PA, 655PA; US Airways N654US; TWA N601TW, 650TW, 302TW; American Airlines N164AA; Delta N756DR, 736DY, 1738D; Northwest N607US, 609US. On my return from that trip on 29th Sept: US Airways N646US; Delta N736DY, 740DA; Pan Am N807PA & Continental N608PE presumably ex People Express, anyone else remember them? How times have changed! Ironically, both American & Delta started their UK flights at Gatwick before moving across to Heathrow.

Gatwick was always superb for US carriers in the 70s and 80s. Heathrow of course had the swarms of Panam, TWA and the occasional Seaboard World but you could pretty much guarantee seeing something extra at Gatwick, Overseas National, Flying Tiger, Capitol, Trans International, and so on.
