I just noticed on the arrivals that on Thursday 31/08 there will be a non-stop flight from Addis Ababa to EBBR: 31/08 06:05 Addis Ababa ET 704 This flight will be executed by a A330 ! Also, on the website of Ethopian, this flight is denoted to be flown with A330. Ethiopian Airlines ET 704 Bole (ADD)...

I also saw them above Leuven around 11h30. Quite a sight I must say...

Training for the defence days in Bevekom (Beauvechain) is possible. After all, Bevekom is only less then 20 km from Leuven.

Also, the flight to Dakar seem to have some problems. The normal flight is cancelled, and replaced by a flight via Casablanca. Also the equipment changed, from A330-300 to A319. 25/08 10:40 Dakar SN 235 Cancelled 25/08 16:30 Casablanca SN 1235 via Dakar A bad day for SNBA's A330s :?:

The TUB-flight to Puerto Plata and Punta Cana should be leaving at 16h45 (although it is delayed to 20h15), but the TUB-flight from Varadero and Cancun is only arriving around midnight. Both flights are operated by a 767-300. Since TUB only has 1 767, where is the other one coming from?

762 is the internal code at Delta for the ex-Gulf Air 763ERs. Maybe this is where the confusion is coming from?

The Airbus site does make a distinction between the A300 and A310. You will find it when you open the excel file.

More in particular, for the A310:

Orders: 260
Deliveries: 255 (the 5 remaining orders are from Iraqi Airways and will never be delivered)
In service: 229

The first A320 is fitted with modified winglets by Airbus. It has made its first flight today. A picture can already be found on Airliners.net:

Hi,

Just saw this in the EBBR departure tables:

16/02 14:00 Banjul SN 1203

This flight is operated by a 767-300.

Is there already one A330 into maintenance, and is this the 767 that will replace the A330s when they get their refurbishment?

Nice drawings!!

But for obvious reasons I just love the drawing of the MD-11 a little bit more.

Christophe

Avro, you have indeed found the correct answer. The next question comes from you.

Koen, you have provided the correct link where I found this question.

Christophe

Advisor,

The website is correct. Go to the homepage and you will find some interesting things...


Christophe

OK, since no one seems to find the answer, let me give you an extra hint. The answer to my question can be found on a website that covers the Belgian aviation history. Just try this in google, it is quite easy then to find the answer.

Christophe

Hello Koen,

Yes, I found this on the net, with the help of Google. To give a hint: I got it from a belgian website that is specialized in these things.

Have fun with the search!

Greetings,

Christophe

PS I have a few days off, I'm back on Thursday

OK, here is the next question.

1) What was the first aircraft that was registered in the Belgian civilian register?
2) What was its registration?
3) When was it registered?
4) Who was the owner of the aircraft?

Christophe

1) The B-17 Flying Fortress "MEMPHIS BELLE" (Serial No. 41-24485) was one of 12,750 B-17's built by the Boeing Aircraft Co. The BELLE was the most famous because she was the first heavy bomber in Hitler's European war theatre to complete 25 combat missions and keep her entire crew alive. S...

I saw the Tu-134 too. I was standing at 25L when I saw a lot of smoke coming closer to 25R around 6pm, and it appeared to be a Tu-134. I never saw one in my life. I took a picture, but with only a 300mm lens, the result is not that good. But Skystef has already a very nice picture!

Christophe

Correct answer!

The next question comes from you Rago!

Christophe

As you might know, Sabena ordered 4 747s in total. Only one of these beauties is still flying. So my questions are: 1) Which one of the four (so what was its original belgian registration)? 2) When was it delivered to Sabena? 3) What is the name of the company this airplane is currently flying for? ...

Sorry, I forgot to answer the second part of the question. AirBridge Cargo has ordered two IL-96-400Ts. In the future, they might get 6 to 8 airplanes.

Christophe

Airbridge Cargo, a scheduled freight airline set up by Russia's VolgaDnepr Group?
