Awards 2009 - by Scott Cooper

As we keep our Visitor Stats pages up to date it allows us to see the most visited bizjet or most visited Ryanair for example, and we count these up at the end of each year to see which has visited the most. This year we decided to expand this into a proper awards page, these are just for fun and have no meaning whatsoever.

Most visited Ryanair
EI-EFG - 9 visits

Most visited UK Bizjet
G-HPPY Learjet 40 - 15 visits

Most interesting UK ad-hoc Charter visitor
We have decided after much deliberation to give this to Virgin Atlantic's Airbus A340-311 G-VSEA which sparked quite a bit of interest when it operated a military charter on May 3rd

Most interesting other ad-hoc Charter visitor
There has been quite a few interesting visitors this year including a number of aircraft from Air Italy, Blue Panorama and Air Slovakia, however this award has gone to Blue Panorama Boeing 767-3G5/ER EI-CXO, which called in on Oct 12th

Most interesting livery
We decided to give this award to the aircraft that we thought had the most interesting/unusual livery and therefore we decided that Embraer ERJ-135BJ Legacy 600 N678RC won this for this completely bizarre bizjet livery.

Most boring livery
This had to go to Air Slovakia Boeing 757-28A OM-ASG, which when it visited was in all white 'polar bears in the snow'!

Overall most interesting Visitor of the Year
This has gone to the visitor that we thought was most out of the blue, and therefore it had to be Tristar Air Airbus A300B4-203F SU-BMZ which surprised us all by turning up on a military charter, taking cargo out to Calgary twice in June.
