T.Moore1521 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 In honor of British Airways starting a non-stop flight to New Orleans again, I want to build a model of the first 787 to come to my hometown. It's expected to land today at around 7:15pm or 1915 in 24 military time. The problem is I can't find the registration number for the aircraft flying the route and I'm in Ohio for work so I can't drive to New Orleans to planespot the landing. If anyone in here could help me get the aircraft registration it would be greatly appreciated. The London-New Orleans flight number is BA225. Thanks in advance everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Kesterton Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 A quick search produced this info Flight plan filed. Ship G-ZBJE will opp BA225 (LHR-MSY), having arrived LHR from CAI as BA154 http://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1358893 Hope that is the right one! anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.Moore1521 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thank you guys so much. I'll be ordering the kit within the next few days so it'll be waiting for me once I return from work in mid April. I wish I could be there to watch it land.

buzz Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 But today's flight isn't the first. It started on Monday, operated by G-ZBJE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The first flight from LHR-MSY went out on the 27th March operated by registration G-ZBJE. I work for BA as cabin crew and the internal news release pictures definitely show it as G-ZBJE.

Stephen (Looking forward to going there) I live about 45 miles southwest of New Orleans so I will definitely be making a plane spotting trip to watch one of the flights land. I'm excited that we're starting to get bigger planes over here. If you ever get a day or two in New Orleans let me know and we can meet up to planespot and drink a beer or two at one of the bars on Burbon St. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneheadff Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Looking forward to see your build!! I bought the Zvezda kit together with decals for a BA 787 a while ago...to build BJF as that was one of the airframes we had our training at back in 2014.

Alex I have anEmirates 777-300er to finish putting the decals on before I start the BA788 but it shouldn't take to long to put the decals on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
