Re: BRU 14/09/2014

I saw an AWACS intercepting the ILS 01 during the afternoon.
I couldn't find it back on FR24 playback. Any guess?

Cheers!

Re: Pilots blinded by laser, how is this possible ?

I fly at night, I can assure you, I see laser attacks almost on every flight even at high altitude! At night we fly with dimmed lighting in the cockpit in order to be able to see outside. Our eyes are in a night vision state, every bright light blinds you very easily. A bright light like a laser alw...

Re: Wide Body Passenger Plane IL-86

Nice pictures! well done!
I like the way the airplane was made to operates to remote airports without much ground equipments.
The stairs into the belly allowing passenger and crew to board or deboard the plane placing yourself your luggage into the belly was a very smart idea!

Re: BRU 09/06/2012

This morning coming out of the sim I noticed one of the ex BAF A310 was doing engine test runs near CAE at the intersection of W1 & W2.
A week ago I saw it hangared at LH Technic.
Any guess if it is leaving? and where?

Re: BRU 11/01/2012

This moring, I think BRU had the first visit of D-AEAO A300-600F recent acquisition of EAT.
rounting was LEJ-BRU-ACC (Leipzig-BRU-Accra) replacing a DHK 767
they flew opposite trip back to LEJ.
Accra is replacing Lagos due to political instability in Nigeria.

It looks to me like an Apollo Fox, OO-G60 (registered 14.07.2010) might be a good guess!
