Wierd to think that I would also see this very same flight at around 6am here in England...
Nice shots!

Heres something different, unfortuately these two had already passed before I took the scope outside. The one in front is a Kalitta Air 747, the one behind is a Continental 767. Both are on the UM140 airway and heading towards Brussels.

[Guest Spotter CYOW]

Great set of shots guys!!

It is certainly a small world contrailwatcheruk!!

[Skystef]

Seen above Ghent from 19.00-19.30:
Globemaster US Air Force heading west What a nice aircraft If someone could help me with route and registration ???

Well Kris, there are no C17s of USAF flying through Belgian upper airspace, unless they are bound for BRU self. All USAF machines (including KC135, C130, etc) migrate in large numbers over mid Holland.
When a C17 crosses Belgian upper airspace, it concerns machines from the RAF, in this case ZZ176 as ISF98S1 enroute Camp Bastion-Birmingham.
