CS-TFX, Airbus A340-542, Hi Fly, about to touch down on Runway 05 left at Manchester Airport, 1st October 2015, as seen from the Runway Visitor Park.
This was one of the semi-regular charters on behalf of the football team Manchester City, bringing the team back from a game against German team Borussia Mönchengladbach.
I've always thought this was a weird arrangement, given that the teams owners also own a major airline that operates several services a day into Manchester, and have/had at least 1 plane in full Man City livery.
Then again, there are good technical/legal reasons for not doing so.
I'll spare City fans blushes by not pointing out the problems caused by having that airline sponsoring both their kits and their stadium, and I'm certainly not going to go into detail about how hilarious having that sponsors name all over their chests and stadium is! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😂
