Several die after small plane crashes in Swiss forest Several people died after a small plane crashed in a Swiss forest on Saturday morning, causing a forest fire that completely destroyed the plane, police said. http://www.euronews.com/2018/08/04/several-die-after-small-plane-crashes-in-swiss-fore...

Unfortunately, that was a sunshine-free performance... the formations were impressive though, especially the F-16s displaying a huge "5" to salute the 5th anniversary of the King.

Thanks - I use think of myself as being some kind of planespotter, so I usually use a slightly bigger equipment than mobile phone camera and am vaguely accustomed to the concept of sunlight and shadows. ;) But the information that they were flying along the Wetstraat (or to the south of it) is indee...

From your experience from previous years: which are good spots to take pictures of the aircraft flying over Brussels?

Does anyone know about flight schedules of overflights during the National Day celebrations on next Saturday? Just some minutes ago, several aircraft overflew the Schuman area, flying at a low altitude. I might have missed some jets (F-16?) - but I heard them -, saw a small trainer and a pair of pro...

If factbase (https://factba.se/topic/calendar) is correct, departure forensen at 1145z in BRU.

That would be 40 minutes ago. AF1 is currently still parked on the cargo apron at BRU...

Any news on the departure of the "Orange-Faced Baboon"?

So to sum it up: some nice big boys are coming, late in the evening during the BEL-FRA game and in less-than-perfect light conditions (overcast). Have I missed something?

From Twitter: a diplomatic flight with a head of State may land on runway 01 escorted by F-16 fighter planes. ETA not known.

It's a BBJ, escorted by 2 fighter planes. Approaching RWY 01 at the moment.

Was that not the Australian Govt. plane? Its ETA was around that time...

It has spent exactly two hours in BRU. That's a long fuel stop! What a waste. It's interesting to notice that a fuel stop may be required for a flight that usually doesn't exceed 11 hours. It's normally well within the A340's capabilities but Bogota airport must be really challenging. It seems the ...

As Andre was on board, so at least 1.

Turns out that weekend's flight criticized by some "experts" as "total failure" for having only 15 pax on board was a mere technical flight - and NOT the inaugural one. Well well... so much for the term "expert"... :lol: The "test flight" on 3th June was open for bookings for several weeks, but onl...

Touroperators planning a group tour keep in mind that the first day of travel is finished when their scheduled arrival is at 18h15 and there will be a passport control. Last bag in the bus, last person onboard the bus means: leave airport at 20h. So all you can do after arrival, is a shuttle to the...

the way he responds to questions says it all .. it's all about LH and LX and all the rest will have to go and being transformed into EW. Does this come as a shock? not really as it would have been expected when selling to LH, they're already shifting flights to MUC (because of FRA being full) and s...

Maybe the China-Europe market is their main target. But they sell tickets from Charleroi to Hong Kong, they make publicity for those flights, they have an online booking tool for those flights. So they do want them - but they don't get them yet. Sure, they would like to see the outbound first fligh...

Certainly not the Ilyushin-18, its engines look completely different from those on the picture.
