Sat Oct 08, 2005 4:29 pm

I have just received a phone call from my brother who says that there is a Lufthansa A320/737 which has made 5 attempted landings at Paphos this morning ( Sat 8th ) ,does anyone know if this aircraft is performing touch and go's or is in some kind of trouble since Lufthansa dosn't fly to Paphos

"Strange" to see LH training in Cyprus, as they traditionally do it in Malta. It could be an emergency landing !!!

It is a training flight. LH is also often performing such operations at LCA. It is actually possible to book a small "inclusive tour" on the ferry flights to and from the training airport, combined with a hotel stay over the weekend, while the apprentice pilots are sweating and cursing. Big grin

Try to contact Lufthansa directly about this. I have never tried it myself, but seen a TV report about such a trip one or two years ago.

I watched a LH MD-11 performing t&gs at SHJ once. It was a slow day and provided some entertainment.
