Both the implied and expressed meaning of jumbo jet,airport and airstrip The only challenge of landing a Jumbo jet on a small and tighter airstrip is when you are doing a a back-course approach; this is because the ILS is not fully available for use. For safe and memorable landing you have to approach it from the front, where all the beacons are clearly visible. LQTM @IMPUNITY COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU

There are 2 options to deal with this: 1. expand the runway to enable takeoff. 2. dismantle the plane and sell as scrap metal to jua Kali artisans.

Did Ethiopian Airlines change livery to plain white or am I missing something?

This plane was initially in Ethiopian's livery but was stripped of color at the end lease period in readiness for return...when they lost the 787 at LHR recently they went back for the "almost" returned a/c and negotiated a short term lease, 18 months...be informed!
