This morning around 11:30 at BRU :
P1, P2 AND P3 were showing "FULL" on the overhead panels.

Good business for IP. Hope they can put some of that money aside to fix the elevators (at P1). :x

Eco-friendly, perhaps, but the operators of the device are no longer protected from the British rain :mrgreen:

Spotters are present at Schiphol, and because there is a teachers' strike in many Dutch schools today, many children were present too. Very short movie:

"...Overseas banks have carried out an inspection of Kenya Airways’ aircrafts in preparation to repossessing them should it delay to strike a restructuring deal with local banks, the national carrier said yesterday.

Strong headwinds for SN451.
