(4K) Two British Airways 777-200 arriving into St. Kitts Airport !!! (A Very Rare Moment In History)

In what can be describe as a very very very rare moment we have two BA 777's arriving at the same time. One of these birds is our usual schedule flight while the other bird is a diverted flight. Our neighboring island of Antigua scheduled BA 777-200 which was operating London Heathrow to Antigua diverted due to airspace congestion over there and a long wait in a holding pattern that made fuel really low.....so they came for a top up....it just so happens our own BA flight was enroute same time to make this historic occasion :) !!!!!

IMPATIENT PILOT? ????

UPDATE!

As far as I’m aware, this was NOT an ATC related situation: it appears the MAS pilot(s) maybe didn’t expect the BA jet to hold for so long? just bad timing for the roll-on ????????‍♂️

Of course, we often see two aircraft on the same runway when the lead aircraft is departing from an intersection point, but to line-up this close (behind) is unusual. You can even see the smoke blast from the engines as I zoom ????

Even small engines like the CFM56, V2500 (in this case with the BA Jet) or even the CF34 can inflict some serious damage from takeoff thrust.

Engines and sensors are at most risk for the trailing aircraft. It’s almost as bad as sand-blasting with tiny particles of rubber and grit. In my view they’re lucky one of the Speed or altitude sensors didn’t get blocked!

One (member) A220pilot said he’d be concerned about damage to his sensors from the Jet blast if he was that close ????

This is something never witnessed before. We’ve seen a few close ones ‘rolling-in’ as the lead aircraft is starting its takeoff run. All the other departures are more ‘timed’ by the pilots, with ATC synchronising the whole thing like a well-timed movement.

Get involved in the comments ????????

Night Action !!! British Airways 777-200 taxi and departure from St. Kitts Airport (GE-90)

Whether its day or night those mighty GE-90's never gets old ....this flight was running almost 5 hours late......if you see a night departure of speedbird from St Kitts that means the flight is running really late !!!!

(4K) British Airways 777-200/Taxi and Departure via Taxiway Alpha @ St. Kitts Airport/Caribbean !!!

In this video you get to see a bit more than normal, you get to see the action much closer from the opposite side of the terminal and aircraft through the fence. I am currently looking more areas to see the active up close tho.

This bird did a intersection departure taking it short and departing on the 10 minute flight over to Antigua.

British Airways 777-200 Arrival Into St. Kitts / Eastern Caribbean

On this lovely afternoon we have the mighty 777 making its way into St. Kitts.
For those who are use to watching my videos and may not know,. taxiway charlie still cannot be used by the 777 until that area is fully fixed, other airlines and planes are using it expcept for British Airways.

Impatient Speedbird Pilot ?? British Airways 777-200 / Medevac Learjet 45 @ St. Kitts / Caribbean

We have a interesting ATC dialogue here...there were parts of the transmission that kept cutting out i am really sorry about that !!!. Both BA and the Medevac learjet were about ready for departure....seems the Medevac had lots of mistakes on read back and it took a little longer than expected and the BA pilot got impatient @ 3:07

For any one wondering why the 777 rotated so quickly is because its doing a 10 to 15 minute flight to the nearby island of Antigua so the plane is light on fuel with about 100 plus passengers, the flights are shared with the island of Antigua where they take on more people and continue back to London Gatwick

(4K) Impressive Short Field Arrival @ St. Kitts Airport - British Airways 777-200 (G-VIIP)

I think this is the first time ever i am reacording such a short field landing by BA. The 777 used just a little less than 4000 feet to come to a complete stop to meet Taxiway Bravo which is impressive. Right now they are only allowed to use Taxiway Bravo so i think these pilots had this landing planned perfectly !!!

The audio in this is a little bit glichty, i used a different cord that day which seems to have issues.

Warning to Speedbird.....light aircraft parked behind the turning GE-90 beast !!! (BA 777-200)

At 3:54 fork lightning can be seen :) !!!! In this video we have an interesting dialogue taking place. British Airways pilots requested a runway 25 departure as a result the plane had to do a 180 turn on the apron....but two light aircraft were parked some distance one being a Winair Twin Otter in the wake of the GE-90's which requires a bit of thrust for the turn on the apron as its an uphill incline. The ATC transmission on the Tower side was not coming through clearly but what you see in this video is basically what was made out.....

Seeing the GE-90 powered 777-200 never gets old :) !!!!. I must admit tho with the recent visit of the A350-900 i was never an airbus lover but that is one beautiful bird with those quiet RR Trent XWB engines :) !!!!

British Airways 777-200 Departure Compilation @ St. Kitts Airport !!!

taking a look at some awesome 777-200 moments from the past GE-90 style :) !!! for those who do not know, these flights go through the nearby island of Antigua where they take on more passengers and refuel for the flight back to London Gatwick, so that explains the quick rotations.....flight time to Antigua is like 15 minutes....making it the shortest schedule flight on BA 777 network and maybe for the 777 in general world wide !!!

Speedbird 777-200 pilot reported to ATC of being put in a position for a possible collision on final

This is interesting, never before have i recorded something like this while spotting. After touching down and taxi to parking this BA 777 pilot seem to be accusing ATC of putting in a position for a collision course with a small light plane. Listen closely to the ATC as you can hear both explaining there selves....according to ATC he did his part on telling the light aircraft where Speedbird was and the traffic acknowledged the 777 in sight !!!!! BA pilot eventually wrote up a safety report as he said.

For any one wondering why the 777 rotated so quickly is because its doing a 10 to 15 minute flight to the nearby island of Antigua so the plane is light, The flights are shared, from Antigua it will continue back to London Gatwick
