I know LHR is a very busy airport, and it is probably the most used airport in IF. But hey, I still love landing there, maybe it is British bias 🤭
Flight info:
Route: LAX - LHR (Los Angeles - London Heathrow)
Flight time: 9hrs 47mins
Callsign: Virgin 8 heavy/ VS8
Server: Expert
Some unedited photos for once lmao
Two landing shots cuz why not
Parked at the gate (ignore the floating baggage lmao)
Also, thanks to @Planeoldkane for the ATC at Heathrow on my way in, that really helped :D

Cheers man - yeah it’s so good having LHR like a 30 min drive away from my house, I can just pop down there and do some spotting whenever I want which is luxury 😂😂

Oh that’s nice! I can’t see any traffic to LHR from where I am, mostly traffic just departing or arriving into Luton airport

I flew in and out of LHR for the first time since 2016 in April, to Dubai. The approach into Heathrow over the city was unbelievable 📸📸
