Comment / G-JMCG is one of three Thomas Cook Boeing 757s currently based at Newcastle. As her registration gives away, G-JMCG once served with JMC Air, though was originally delivered to LTU Sud as D-AMUQ in April 1995. She is seen here climbing away from Newcastle's runway 07 for Ibiza.

Comment / After operating a night rotation to Heraklion, and arriving back an Newcastle only an hour previous, G-JMCD is in the air again, this time enroute to Larnaca as the Kestrel 973K.

Comment / An early arrival on runway 25 from the Greek island Zakynthos.

Comment / Wearing a large sticker promoting Thomas Cook's campaign for another bank holiday here in the UK. I can remember when this Boeing 757 was first delivered from Seattle as the first aircraft for the new Flying Colours Airlines, back in February 1997. Of course, Flying Colours was later merged with Caledonian Airways to become JMC Air, which then became Thomas Cook Airlines in 2003.

Comment / The MyTravel fleet has now been fully integrated into the Thomas Cook fleet, with this A321 being the first of it's type to wear the Thomas Cook colour scheme. Interestingly, after a vote by pilots the merged-carrier is using the old Kestrel call sign, which dates back to the days of Airtours International.

Comment / Arriving with a MyTravel call sign, as Thomas Cook takes over the old MyTravel flying program.

Comment / JMC Airlines took receipt of a pair of Boeing 757-300s in the spring of 2001, with the first being G-JMAA seen here. The series -300 is some 7m longer than the baseline series -200, and can seat up to 279 passengers. Production of the Boeing 757 ended in 2005 after a run of 1050 airframes.

Comment / Still about a mile out from the airfield, passing in front of some impressive storm clouds whilst on her way in...
