Nice pics again Nicolas :wink: What's that funny looking plane with tip tanks? That's a Cessna 310Q and behind it in the open hangar you can see the nose of the latest addition to the Noordzee Helikopters Vlaanderen fleet: Eurocopter EC-145 OO-NHB. It will replace Dauphin OO-NHZ at Bra-sur-Lienne. a...

Thanks for the comments! @ Stoney: To get to the 02 spot from the R0 'ring' around Brussels take the exit to the airport and at the round-about follow to Zaventem centrum. Now you are on the N262 'Vilvoordelaan'. Then again at a round-about take the third (I think) exit this should be the Van Dijckl...

Thanks for info, Kristof! I am still intrigued by the German powered glider. Even worse: today I spotted a very similar looking bird at Antwerp EBAW, but this was D-KJOM. It looks like a real state of the art machine, no-one knows the make and type? Sorry, forgot to answer to that question :oops: I...

Correct, go the airfields/heliport section > Ostend airport > Spotting @ EBOS and there you have it! Number 6 is the best spot, at least in my opinion.Antonov22 wrote:Omag, check the site from kristof www.westwings.be there you can see a map of EBOS.
PS: thanks for mentioning my site Peter.

There are some more places. Drive from the terminal to the right on the N568 (Rue des Fusilles) which runs along the airport. After a while turn to the right onto the N5 (Contournement de Gosselies), I believe this is at the first traffic lights. Here you will pass under the approach of runway 07 If...
