Virgin Airbus A350-1000 G-VLUX training at Glasgow Airport

[@clairewest6676]

Absolutely beautiful. How I will miss the gorgeous A346's but the A350 is a worthy successor. Thanks for catching her for us.

[@JonathanWinton123]

Thanks Calire, I think we will all miss the A340s. As you rightly say the A350 is more than a worthy replacement. Thanks for watching.

[@mrsmchistory]

I live on the flight path and have been watching this beauty land since Sunday. I'm super excited to be going to the airport tomorrow to watch her on the runway before she leaves later this week!

[@JonathanWinton123]

Nice one, I hope you managed to catch it before it left.

[@Maxi67]

Nice catch , saw her holding on taxiway G this morning after landing and she looks even better in the metal. Thanks for sharing.

[@JonathanWinton123]

Very nice, she does look good when you see her up close. Thanks for watching.

[@lizturner316]

Jonathan Winton spotted this a few times as I pass the airport daily going to from work. Wind in wrong direction today, otherwise it would have been flying almost over my house!

[@SuborbitalPigeon]

Or plastic rather than metal, makes it even more interesting.

[@alex_theaviation2995]

This is really brilliant. i like the A350-1000 of Virgin Atlantic.

[@JonathanWinton123]

Thanks very much for wacthing, it was great to see it up there :D

[@user-GazarooGuy]

You really got fantastic video footage of G-VLUX . Awesome that you were in close proximerty to the airfield , and the airplane as she taxied and manuvered on the apron and taxy ways. She really is a good looking plane .The A340-600 ( my favourite Airbus airplane )followed by the A350-1000. The A340-600 has a longer fuselage , a wider wing span , and a higher tail fin than the A350-1000 .

[@JonathanWinton123]

It really was fantastic to film it all day. Thats right, in comparison to the A340-600 I do think the A350 is a great replacement. Such a great machine.

[@Mraviationguy]

Brilliant video! The A350-1000 looks so long:O Liked!

[@JonathanWinton123]

Cheers mate, it does. I love it. It has sharp become one of my favourite aircraft :)

[@Lotus.F]

Virgin has one of the best aesthetical planes.

[@JonathanWinton123]

I agree with you there.

[@KarlOmatsola]

Amazing work!...well done

[@JonathanWinton123]

Thanks very much Karl.

[@afcacbs8544]

One of the best planes ever made along the 747.

[@JonathanWinton123]

I agree with you there. The A350 may not have 4 engine, but it certainly looks great.

[@mylosairplanefan]

Super cool catch Jon, the A35k is one stunning looking bird. Well done!

[@JonathanWinton123]

Cheers Mylos. I have to say it is one of my favourites to see :)

[@Jurgenlivebe]

Thanks mate, the trainign flights are at Glasgow, not Edinburgh.

I meant Glasgow sorry it was because I just finished watching your Edinburgh video

Great video of the new aircraft

Hopefully they will some day

I hope to see Virgin A350-1000XWB in Service soon!

[@JonathanWinton123]

It wont be too long now, only a few more weeks till it debuts on the London to New York route.

[@matheo9246]

1. This is a lovely footage 2. I love the A35K 3. They will replace the good old A346s and B744s by 2022😭😭😭 4. You should go to Toulouse someday, there are soooooo many airbus planes that are being built (without the normal traffic, of course)!! The only Boeing planes flying there are the Volotea 717s and the Ryanair 737s.

[@JonathanWinton123]

Thanks Matheo, I love the A350 too. I have already been to Toulouse 2x in the past year haha.

@@JonathanWinton123 exactly plus it was always a larger plane on that route historically B747 or A340 until was replaced by B787-9 which isn't a bag thing

[@JonathanWinton123]

Definitely. Given the choice between a B787-9 and an A350, I'd choose the A350 every time.
