Quarantine Escape Flight EIDW to EGCC
Week 62 of quarantine and soon I'll be declared "normal" again. @ITalk Games asked if I could do a short flight from Dublin EIDW to EGCC Manchester. I most certainly can! Stand 124 is where we parked last week and we'll head off to Manchester following Aer Lingus EI 202. The flight plan was to land at Manchester on Runway 5R but as we approached, ATIS announced runways 23L and 23R are in use.  There is a scramble to change.  Then ATC decides to clear us to land on Runway 5L..! And in the middle of all this some severe red cells appear on the weather radar just on the final approach.  Wideview and WideTraffic are working perfectly. The video is 1 bag of popcorn plus 6 minutes long; 1080p HD and is free to download and use with no attribution necessary.  Enjoy!
