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 visited Foreign Bizjet
N288Z Global Express - 11 visits (surprise surprise!)
Most interesting diversion
G-LSAD Boeing 757-236 Jet2.com - diverted in on May 25th from
Palma (Newcastle divert)
Most interesting Military visitor
114 Casa CN-235M-200 French Air Force - Aug 5th
Most interesting regular Charter visitor
TC-ONR McDonnell Douglas MD-88 Onur Air - operated the first
trip of Holidays4u's extra Dalaman flight on Jul 23rd
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.
