Went to a very calm Ostend yesterday but when I left Ostend in the evening I was very lucky to see the 2 aircraft showed below landing within 10 minutes of time
Here's also a small log:
4K-AZ25 all white DC8F Silk Way
RA-26123 An26B Pskovavia
9G-BAN DC8F GM Airlines
SU-GAC A300F Egypt Air Cargo
SU-BMZ A300F Tristar Aviation
YL-RAB An26 RAF Avia
UR-LMI An12 Volare
ER-AXZ An12 Air Charter
ZS-OZV DC8F African Intl.
EC-IDQ B727F ex DHL
LX-DKT DC3 ex Legend Air
Too bad this nice 727 lost it's DHL titles and reg.

At least you saw 2 planes in 10 minutes most of the time, when I go to Ostend, I see one, max 2, planes ... maybe I have to be more patient when I'm there
anyway, nice pics Fabke
Concerning the 727, It's indeed sad to see how bad they overpainted the logo ...
EC-IDQ ex OO-DHT is given away to KHBO school, aviation department, and will be used to give the studends practical training on aircraft components
to improve the skills of potentional new aircraft mechanics

It's indeed a very nice gesture from DHL to give those 2 B727's away. But what I heard is that the KHBO didn't treated the B727 very well. When the KHBO received the B727 they were apparently told to put put an anti corrosion layer on the plane to prevent it from corroding too fast, but this was apparently never done. Now the plane is allready in a very bad shape after just one year in EBOS
Your picture of the African Int'l DC-8 is really MARVELLOUS
Congratulations :thumbsup2:
Regards, Robin Bamps.
Thanks Robin for the compliments , it was really my lucky day yesterday at EBOS 2 planes in 10 minutes , never made good photos at EBOS of landing/taking off aircraft but yesterday I did
Indeed, 2 aircraft movements in 10 minutes is quite amazing The average at EBOS is 2 aircraft movements in 10 hours... and if WILOO doesn't stop complaining, it will once become 2 aircraft movements in 10 days
I was at EBOS once (last years after the Koksijde Open Days), and I also had 2 aircraft movements in 10 minutes... ZS-OSV was taxiing for departure while a Kalitta B742 was touching down on the runway.
but when I left Ostend in the evening I was very lucky to see the 2 aircraft showed below landing within 10 minutes of time
