Re: 2019 Ostend-Bruges Airport (OST/EBOS) latest news

Maybe POBEDA should consider also flights to/fm Saint-Petersburg? That is more an Antwerp destination than Ostend :) I heard one can even have the famous Antwerp Bolleke (De Koninck) beer in SPB ... on draught!

Re: Jetairflies from Antwerp: ANR-MXP

I flew ANR-TXL on May 2 and back on May 6. Both flights arrived well ahead of schedule ( ANR-TXL flight duration...

Re: Air China CA2 escorted by two F16s

Is it true that these 'escorting' F-16s are NOT armed ?
A Belgian Air Force F-16 pilot , who escorted Air Force One at the time when President Bush arrived in Brussels to attend a NATO meeting, told me that they were not allowed to carry any sort of weaponry !!!
