to add something more on the same website of Andries we see the DC-8. It is another airplane I don't like flying in my neighbourhood, day or night. It smells, it is noisy. And those yakovlevs. Oh yes, Andries, have you heard about the safety record of Yakovlev? Ask the dutch lady who was trapped in ...

euh group, shake me bit please. I just saw the website of Andries. Btw, great job Andries. And in the section Ostend, we see a 747 of Evergreen in August 2004. Guys, please tell me, Evergreen is Eva Air Cargo. Yes? And isn't it Andries who cursed me some messages above that Eva doesn't use Ostend? S...

sorry Andries, I saw a eva air cargo at ostend last summer. You don't have to curse me for that, it is not my fault. Oh yes, it was doing more than fueling. Cargo was handled. I didn't say that EVA has its cargohub at Ostend. I just say it uses Ostend. (btw who is doing aircargo for Daikin?) And are...

Okay, I am not a teacher in Ostend and I am not Wilo. But there is a problem with Ostend. Noise. Final. There is relatively much more noise around Ostend than around Zaventem. Fact. Why? Because there land old airplanes. Yes. 707, old 747, Ant, 727, lucky no more Ilyu. If Ostend would be more aggres...

yes you are right, great service. The airport building looks like a 1950 boarding school, yellow and grey tiles. The boarding rooms are outdated. But it works anyway. SN check in staff told me that it was still unclear what would happen to them. But they expect to get a new post at Tegel, certainly ...

euh guys,

could it be that I saw the antonov still standing at the Melsbroek side last Wednesday 22-09-2004?

It certainly was an ant-164 but is the same airplane?
Just wondering how much it cost a day not flying and paying parking fees.

Took SN2586 on Wednesday 22-09-2004 go and return same day to Tempelhof. Plane was full both ways. Probably because of the trade fair in Berlin. But anyway, it was full. By the way, Tempelhof is weird! But I like it. It was the first time that I experienced stepping out of an airplane inside a hanga...

After my first rather good experience with Emirates, I can't wait to use the service of Etihad. But I fear that I will have to drive to Düsseldorf again. Or that the service will be a cargo line to Bierset such as Emirates. I bow my head and cry silently. Friends who took Gulf Air were quite happy a...

I almost panicked! I thought it were the old Biman planes. No worries, those are F28's.

Vegetable oil, why not? Years ago, there were rumours that McDonnald's would get a franchise in the new A380. Maybe they could not only sell hamburgers but provide fuel as well.
You are allowed to laugh.

Dear group, there is also another matter: it is not only Brussels. Just today an article appeared about the increase of landing fares at Bangkok airport. Several large airlines have left BKK already. But the main topic here was not BKK. It is Asia. I think it is a matter of wait and see what happens...

Allow me to report about my experiences with Alitalia years ago. It started at Brussels airport where the desk staff told me that my ticket, issued by BBL Travel, was okay, but that I was not in their computer system. So, no seat. Huh? It all quickly changed when I was suddenly behind their counter ...

I remember some years ago that the airforce had flights to Mombassa as well, for R&R holidays for the belgian paratroopers in Somalia.
I can imagine the difference of inflight entertainment between a C-130 and a 767.
well, have a laugh.

well Ozzie, same experiences with me. Eva was nice, Bru-Vienna-BKK with just some hours stop in Vienna. But departing from CDG involves the transfer Bruges-CDG...Doing a stopover in Dubai with Gulf, Emirates, Etihad makes you realise that we are not that rich over here in Belgium. Btw, the gold is r...

this story isn't over yet, dear group. let us talk about potential, and some figures. Take Best Tours. In the good days Best tours arranged each year a holiday for 20.000 Belgians in Thailand. Wow. It was the single biggest tour operator to Thailand. The best proof of this was the genuine respect th...

Can we also look a the health problems of pilots? We know that a pilot is on average much healthier than the average citizen. (a sick person doesn't get qualified - I hope) But what is the average life expectancy of pilots? Stress is a problem. Heart diseases. Hidden killerss are the radiation, cons...

for the group some data: the Thielert Centurion 1.7 engine is build around a daimler block - which the manufacturer doesn't want to acknowledge. There is a 4 cylinder version already in serial production and a V8 engine in development stage. On diesel. The manufacturer is Thielert from Germany. www....

my most sincere apologies to the group for remarks which were considered political.
Anyway, allow me to repair damage by giving a positive remark: let us all hope that soon there will be more connections between Belgium and asian destinations.

If we see what Freddy Van Gaever had to endure to get a license to operate - as a Belgian. Than we can make up our own mind about why so many quality asian carriers disappeared. [removed by sn26567] Those who made the simple calculation between landing fees at Zaventem and Charleroi, and looked at t...

Ref.: connection Belgium-Thialand / Belgium Excell hi, I can say that Mr. Udom, boss and owner of Orient Thai has confirmed personally to me that he focuses on Brussels for his long haul european connection. But...not yet. He has other worries. And the risk is pretty big. And it is not stable enough...
