They just posted the following on Twitter (not yet in English): Onze website ondervindt technische problemen, maar onze IT'ers doen er alles aan om ze op te lossen. Om 12.00 uur geven we jullie een nieuwe update, maar tot dan zal de ticketverkoop voor de tweede vlucht zeker niet van start gaan. Beda...

Their Twitter account says the following: We’re still checking all operational aspects of the second rehearsal flight this Saturday afternoon. We'll keep you posted as soon as all parties involved give us the green light. We're doing our utmost to start the online bookings this Tuesday at 10 AM. Tha...

For the lucky ones who managed to book a place on the first flight: can you book several seats at once? Are they (temporarily) blocked until you complete the payment? Are the payment methods the same as on the regular booking module (i.e. credit card and Maestro)?

12:49 and still not open... or was it open at some point this morning and sold out again?

Ha, another Luchtzakker amongst them (and not just anyone ) ! Now I'm wondering who you were...

What a nice visitor indeed

Just saw a white 747 taking off from some distance, must have been around 10.20 AM... anyone know what it was? Couldn't find anything in the cargo departures.

--- nevermind, it was the Saudian, website has just been updated.

other airlines do it too like MS, RAM, ...

Talking about that, have we already seen RAM's 747 this summer? Will it still come?

My recipe? Knowing how to use a flash creatively and efficiently. Instead of just nuking your subject with a bare flash head on, try to bounce it using something big and pale, put something between the flash and the subject, go wild. In the case of a 737 flight deck, the aft overhead panel will do ...

That picture is absoluty awesome, but were did you exactly take it?!

The normal 25L/25R has been turned around since +/- 1 PM, planes are landing on 7L and taking off from 7R now.

I just saw a large 4 engine jet taking off from runway 25R around 17.30 - 18 h, white / purple colour scheme, not sure whether it was an A340 or 747 (it was too high up in the sky)... anyone got an idea what it was? 17.53: B744F - Cathay Pacific Cargo - B-HUS (reg not sure) 17.46: B744F - Asiana Ca...

Jetairfly is expanding its long haul network.
Phuket and Bangkok will be started next winter (1x week).

This is thanks to the installation of the winglets on both 767's!

Why exactly? Because the fuel reduction makes this flight worth the while economically?

Care to share where you were standing? That doesn't really look like a spotter's place I'm familiar with... After some tracing... Am I right when I say you were standing here ? 1-2-3-6-7-8-10: Brucargo (300mm and 17-40) 4 - 5: Watertower (600mm) 9: 25L Very nice shots indeed! Were at Brucargo were ...

300mm is more than enough on the top floor of Front Park 1, unless you want to "follow" the plane really far. It's also enough when you're near Abelag, although I can imagine that 300 to 400mm gives you a bit more comfort since the planes can be already quite high (especially the smaller o...

So I wasn't the only one...

Hi MIVB Reiziger! I was around BRU for the landing of the second IL-62, just before 18:30. Lighting conditions were at the limit, so I decided to quickly switch from my DSLR to the video function of my Point & Shoot. I posted it on Youtube so you can have an idea of the lighting at that time. @...

Could someone tell me what the lighting conditions are around 17-18, these days? I'd like to try to capture a few of these rare birds taking off tomorrow, but I wouldn't have a clue how light it will be, since I'm usually still at work around that time. I can always use my 50mm f/1.8 lens in the wor...

Manchester has a superb spotters area, next to the BA Concorde!

Oh okay, I thought it was some place around BRU (a pub or other thing called Manchester). Didn't notice the earlier posts about Manchester airport.
