In all the years we've been travelling to Corfu, we've never had the opportunity to see a view such as this - a flight-deck view of the approach and landing at Corfu Airport.
ENJOY !!!
Rgds, Chris

Hi Chris I am an avid aircraft lover and we always go to Kanoni on our last day before flying home and stand in the middle of the causeway to film the planes landing and then up to the café to watch them take off and land. I to have watched many of these on youtube it's the only way to get a cockpit view today where as years ago it was commonplace to go to the cockpit. Here is one that I took this year you will have to excuse Sue's excitement.View My Video

I think we posted the video of the German 'plane landing a couple of years ago Chris - you must have been dozing in your seat dreaming of your first Mythos! Steve

After trolling through all the videos on the Forum Steve, I managed to discover that it does seem to have been posted 5 years ago, back in 2009, although it no longer works! Also, I only joined the Forum 2 years ago. Does that mean we have to check back through all past posts before making a new one - just in case it's been made before? Cheers, Chris

View My Video We also visit Kanoni on almost every trip to Corfu, Gil - in fact Liz insists we do !!! She absolutely loves to sit up on the café balcony for a couple of hours and/or down on the causeway, to watch and photograph all the aircraft - normally on a Monday or Friday which are reputed to be the busiest days. Rgds, Chris

Well as you could probably tell by Sue's reaction it's a must and it's become a tradition for at least the last 10 years our hols would not be the same otherwise. Seems we have the same interests. This Photo taken from the café last month probably sums it all up. Gutted to be going home but we have booked for July 7th next year from Bristol bet you can't wait to go again in September

Here are a few Liz took at Kanoni on Friday, 19-July-2013 at around mid-day . . . then one taken from the northern end of the café balcony, overlooking the recently (at last) renovated hotel swimming pool . . . Rgds, Chris

Thank you all for those fab photos - it appears lots of us do the same things when we are on Corfu (perhaps we should get Rena to organise an excursion for us all!). The first time Brian and I went to Corfu (30 years ago) we stayed at that actual hotel and we can remember when we booked with the travel agent (yes we did silly things like that back then) that she pointed out we were right next to the airport and would we not mind the noise - as we live a few minutes away from Newcastle airport that was not going to be a problem. We would walk over the causeway every day and even walk down to Corfu Town (we were a lot younger and fitter in those days). Cant wait to tell him they have renovated the pool - will see for ourselves when we make our trip down to Kanoni for a visit.
regards, Kath.
