Hello
Yesterday I went to the coast for a day. Since the weather was quite bad in the afternoon it wasn't time for a beachwalk (winds gusting up to more than 20knots ). So I went to EBOS and good for that because there was an Saudi Cargo B747-400 expected during daytime, and that's a really rare occasion over there.
Weather was: low clouds (1000ft or lower), cold, strong wind, light drizzle & some rain sometimes. So don't expect quality shots but I'm sharing them anyway.
Despite the poor weather, I'm very happy I took the risk and that I saw the TF-AMI there.

Do you know where this Saudi was coming from / going to ?
Re: OST 12/08/2009 Saudi 747
probably horses, the arabs love belgian horses for their races...

They do fuel stops at OST. Routing was IAH-OST-KMX

Ost is used when it's possible thet cannot make the curfew in BRU. Note a 747-400 can land after 23h00, but no take-off before 07h00 (in BRU that is).

Nice pics. What's a good location at OST to spot aircraft? Cheers.

If you have a car ( or even a bike ) just do the tour of the airport, trying to stay as close to the fences as possible...favourite_belgian wrote:Nice pics. What's a good location at OST to spot aircraft? Cheers.
Best places I found were taking very small streets ( but feasable with a normal car ), bringing you to the other
side of the runway compared to the airport buildings, and best is to leave the airport building to the East and then
make the tour.
