World Cup 2014 flights

[sn26567]

King Philip and Queen Mathilde have left this morning to Rio de Janeiro on board of the new A321 of the Belgian Air Force, together with 40 other persons (Ministers Reynders and De Crem, Belgian Football Federation, Belgian Enterprises Federation, journalists). They will make two intermediate stops.

Where will the stops be?

I tried to track it on FlightRadar24, but didn't find it. The A321 seems to have switched off the transponder, which was not the case with the former A330 of the BAF.

Not really a world cup flight, but the latest B777F of Lufthansa has been delivered and has been christened... "Olà Brazil"

Same as André, not really a world cup flight but an efficient way to use ACARS at SN

I still don't know where the A321 did refuel on the way to Rio.

Oops! Corrected.

And after all, it wasn't GIG, it was the Galeão Air Force Base (ICAO: SBGL) located on the same site (just like Melsbroek and Zaventem).
