]]> When the Blink Jets are delivered from the Cessna factory in Kansas, they have to fly 4,878 statute miles to reach their base in the UK.

The flight plan takes them from Wichita (Kansas) to Buffalo (New York), onward to Goose Bay (Canada) before heading out over the Arctic Circle.

They stop at Narsarsuaq (Greenland) and Keflavic (Iceland), making a final quick stop in Dublin (Ireland) before touching down at the CSE Citation Centre Bournemouth for finishing touches.

These photos were taken in Narsarsuaq, Greenland during the delivery of G-FBLI and G-FLBK in November 2008. Captain Dougie Gass and Captain Andrew Collicott piloted these first flights alongside test pilots from Cessna.

]]> Every day Blink Jets soar into the skies over Europe,  whisking passengers to their destinations, efficiently, in superior comfort, and all at an affordable price.

An additional benefit is the opportunity to see some fantastic sights, whether it be the majesty of the Alps or the beauty of Paris by night.  Blink Pilots are always on hand to point out these sights when they are of interest.

I’m pleased to share with you some of the sights they have snapped whilst exploring Europe:

]]> With cold temperatures and snow across Europe, Blink jets also get covered in snow and ice.  Here are some pictures of two of our planes covered in fresh snow while parked at Blackbushe Airport (BBS/EGLK), just outside of London.

The Blink operations team works incredibly hard to ensure that as long as the airports are open, the Blink fleet is ready to fly.  As a client, you will not see our aircraft in this state, so we hope you enjoy the glimpse of the untouched snowy aircraft below.

Thanks to Steve Pickering, Blink’s Ground Operations Manager, for taking these pictures.  If you enjoy this, be sure to check out Blink’s other photos and videos.

]]> Some airports across Europe, such as Salzburg (SZG/LOWS) and Samedan (SMZ/LSZS) have webcams pointed at their aprons and runways.  Last month in December 2009, Blink flew to both these airports.  The Blink Flight Services team was able to spot our aircraft at both these airports in the slide show below.  Both Salzburg and Samedan airports provide easy access to popular ski destinations.

]]> It’s not that often that we fly into London Heathrow (LHR/EGLL).  While the airport is close to central London, landing fees are expensive.  But it does happen occasionally and luckily we had a Blink staff member onboard this repositioning flight to take some pictures and video as the jet skimmed the clouds on the approach, before looking out over grey London (and Wembley Stadium).

]]> Cessna has completed the assembly and build of Citation Mustang 510-0096 which has become G-FBKA, the 5th plane to join the Blink fleet.

Thanks to Cessna, we can watch as 510-0096 is assembled at the Cessna factory in Kansas. You’ll see the arrival of pieces of the fuselage, their assembly together, the joining of the wings, and the assembly of the Garmin 1000 based flight deck.

Once the plane has been assembled and tested by Cessna, the Blink team heads to out to Kansas to further inspect the plane, take delivery of the aircraft, and depart for the journey from Kansas back to London.

Featured in this album are:

  • Chris Allan – Blink First Officer
  • Ian Finch – Blink Director of Engineering
  • Warren Hazelby – Blink Air Safety Advisor
  • Joe O’Rourke – Cessna Customer Account Manager
