2002 Manchester Ringway Airport

Probably the best Airport in the UK in terms of viewing aircraft movements. Friendly to photographers and spotters alike. So always a pleasure to visit here.

As a kid every summer around this time early 2000s I loved nothing more than watching the planes take off through the big glass windows inside manchester airport such fond memories

[@matthewhigson1232]

Imagine going to Manchester now and even seeing a 747 would be exciting never mind all these prop planes, DC10s and a😊 Tu154

[@ChrisBarrow-617]

The days when Manchester had cargo flights !

[@kevinkibble8342]

My word, the nostalgia. Back when Manchester was crawling with all kinds of bright, colourful holiday/charter airlines. Sad that the airlines these would later become have gone bust, and all that's left is TUI and Jet2, with I suppose Easyjet and Ryanair also flying to holiday destinations.

Never ceased to amaze me how steep those Balkan 154's were on take off. I used to see them at Glasgow and they went up like a rocket.

[@chennellproductions6538]

Yes indeed a really steep climb. Probably ex.military practicing steep climbs lol

[@Lew747]

Amazing the variety of aircraft back then!

Hard to believe 20 years ago now.

8:11 I never seen British airways fly with this aircraft at all in my life

[@ChrisBarrow-617]

BA 767's were quite regular visitors to Manchester. ATP were based at Manchester.
