If only we would see a belgian registered 747-400 pax version... I'd be pleased as punch. And I wouldn't mind where that bird flies to, I'd book a ticket anyway, just to be on it (and probably end up in sunny kinshasha during a popular uprising 8) )

No, the second.

OO-TJA was leased from Atlas Air for a while back in 2002-2003.

Sabena wasn't the only Belgian airline...

whether it's the first or the second, it proves that the Belgian aviation is not dead
