May I present some local Dublin travel agency's special Scottish tour charter flight flown by Channel Airways BAC 1-11 from EIDW Dublin Airport 6.2 miles north of Dublin in Ireland to EGPE Inverness Airport 8.1 miles north-east of the city of Inverness in Scotland?
Excited Irish vacationers boarding the plane
Long line of airport vehicles waiting patiently while the BAC 1-11 was starting engines (Aerosoft vehicle AI traffic is smart to know not to get behind jet blast or not to get in front of taxiing plane)
Nice wing view of airport vehicles waiting patiently for the plane to start engines and push back
Look at how pretty early sunrise morning is
Airport bus rushing very late passengers to board the BAC 1-11 plane
Nice tail view, engine view, and sky view What more can you ask?
Pushback is completed and now the airport vehicles finally resumed their traffic way
Starting to taxi to short of runway 10
Dig the view!!
Still taxiing
Cannot resist tail view
Love the cool airport name neon lights!
Still taxiing long way to short of runway 10
Airport spotters trying to take above the airport security fence some nice photo of this plane
