Virgin Atlantic: Ruby Tuesday

Virgin Atlantic's Boeing 747-400 christended Ruby Tuesday is seen here taxiing to Runway 23R at Manchester Airport before speeding away and taking off.

You can get some idea just how big this plane is and the power it can produce by looking at the people and the way the bushes are blown as the plane moves into position.

We hope you enjoy it!

Ruby Tuesday is based at Heathrow as well. Watch the ITVV video from Heathrow to San Francisco.

Hi megapoot,

She used to be based at Heathrow but is no longer based there. I visit Manchester and Heathrow regularly and Ruby Tuesday has never been spotted at Heathrow.

In May, when a 747-400 is switched to an A340-300 Ruby Tuesday may be allocated to Heathrow but it could be Pretty Woman, English Rose or Barbarella too.

Thanks for the comment!

i just flew on this plane a month ago.. out of gatwick into mccarran

[mcpcshowcase]

Yeah she is based at Manchester/Gatwick. She hasn't been seen at Manchester for a little while - I think because the A340-300 has been put on Manchester services from May 2009.

wow, where is this spot to watch the planes please???

[mcpcshowcase]

Hi sweetie3077,

This spot is located at the Airport Hotel Manchester Airport which is located at the threshold of Runway 23R. Its not a great place to see aircraft take off from (better for landing) but you can get some really good close up shots.

I don't get it, the planes have names? Like the monkeys/gorillas bag tags have names on the kipling bags?
