81
Aer Lingus A-330-200
This is an impressive take off view of an Aer Lingus A-330-202, I believe to be EI DUO. The added range of the 200 model gave the airline the flexibility to add a number of new non stop destinations in the US. Ten 200s were acquired, beginning in April of 1999. This one was retired in 2021.
