The press conference was more for sports journalists than for aviation journalists: the main speaker was Marc Wilmots. Therefore I had a lot of time afterwards to chat with Geert Sciot and Lars Redeligx (and also a little with Marc Wilmots )

The A320 to be fully painted in Red Devils colours is OO-SNA: it will me much more than the decals currently on SNC and SND, something in the style of the Tintin aircraft. It will be delivered at the end of March.

Preview of the tail:

For the fans: 66% of the seats of the special flights have been sold already! But there are still seats for all Red Devils flights and games!
