but why didn't he get the stabilizer ??? What part has then be delivered by todays Beluga ?

And even if it were only for a stabiliser, why such a big plane? A lorry could have easily made the job!

Maybe Mr Thomas Cook is very rich?

These guys are incredible. Here at Luchtzak we never miss the picture of any special plane.

Thanks a lot to all photographers who make Luchtzak a lively site, always at the height of every special event.

Congratulations, guys, keep up the good work!

P.S. I like the one with the Afriqiyah Airbus in front of it.

Some more will be coming on my own site, but I'm still working on it. Will be for next weekend probably because tomorrow I don't have much time.

Edit: also some picutres of some colleagues working to get the stabilizer into the Beluga on my own site, see below

Very nice pics guys ! Shame i missed that Beluga!

Post by **sn26567** » 19 Mar 2004, 10:10

Excellent pictures inside the Beluga.

It strikes me that they use such a big plane for a rather small part.

Avro · Post by **Avro** » 19 Mar 2004, 10:51

If I get it right, SN only deliverd the broken Stab to Airbus, which will repair it and bring it back in another Beluga

I hope I won't miss the Beluga for the second time then

Does someone allready knows when the Beluga will be back ??
