[Sam V]

DId anyone got a clear look of where AF1 is parked?
I wasn't able to make it out on the live streams

[AirOpinion]

Thanks in advance!

Hello

Not mentioned yet...

Arrived at 2122LT US Air Force C32 98-0002

Greetings,

[Kapitein]

For the spotters or registration hunters, it's not the same aircraft as in 2005 when Bush visited Belgium.
Then it was 82-8000, now it is 92-9000

[Shuttie]

I think it is pointing East.

The helicopters for the flight to the cemetry are all parked up at Melsbrook..EBMB.
There are lots of barriers and police in that area, I would avoid Haachtsestenweeg, and perhaps the E19 to the ring..

No traffic movements @ BRU now, and some holdings in the environment of Antwerp and Hasselt

Any idea if they'll pass above Aalst?

Only one Marine One: the helicopter in which the President travels. The other is just a Sea King, or VH-3, or Sikorsky S-61, or whatever you like to call it. But Marine One and Air Force One are reserved for flights in which the President is actually on board.

[angelor]

Ow oke like that. I didn't know that fact. Is my other information right?

To South-East. Just behind AF1 is also a B757 I guess from the US GOV with nose in the same direction. Saw also a few spotters taking pictures near Abelag but under control of the police.

BTW I spent 1h travelling from Perk to APT as Haachtesteenweg was closed for Obama.

[DIBO]

Arriving traffic put in hold for the return of M1

[tinkalover]

Obama just left Bozart

[SN_forever]

I guess it will be dark when he departs then...

[HQ_BRU_Lover]

Planes are starting to hold now, my bet is on a departure at 20:40LT
