Hello, seen this morning at 06:50 : a Transavia B737 on short final for CRL.
Any info about the reason of this quite unusual visitor ?

Thanks.

Hello, juste heard the news a few minutes ago (French radio) : the TU-154 carrying the Polish president Lech Kaczynski crashed during approach to Smolensk airport, possibly because of strong fog. The president was accompanied by his wife, the minister of foreign affairs and different officials ...

OK, thanks for the quick reply !

The planes weren't ferried to CRL during the night (CRL is closed each night); the 4 first flights this morning (between approx. 6:30 and 7:15) were cancelled, and no plane was visible at the apron at 6:45.

I guess the planes arrived at CRL later, as the other flights departed following schedule.

Hello, I could see the SV 747 at LGG yesterday at 11:00 (at the apron, next to the TNT 747 and a CAL 747). Maybe a diversion from BRU due to fog ?

Hello, I would like to go to Strasbourg during Christmas holidays. I intend to visit the city but also to do some spotting at SXB.
Do you have any tips / personal experience about spotting there ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

I usually spot during week-ends. I live very close to CRL, so I sometimes stop a few moments on my way back home after work (usually between 17:30 and 18:00), but in order to spend 2 or 3 hours at the different spots around the runway I have to wait for Saturdays or Sundays :? .

About the pics, I ...

Thanks for your comments; I didn't have many time to perform the needed research concerning the untitled ones (quite more difficult to identify than a 737-800 or an A320 ). Thanks to TUB001 for providing the infos. Hope to post some more logs very soon, about CRL or other places...

Let's hope sunny weather for our planned trip to AMS on next Friday, and a full ...

Hello,

Some other places can be used for spotting around CRL :

- To go to the eastern end of the runway : starting from the first spot
described by Julien, you have to go further on N568 (eastwards); at the
first roundabout turn left (following the "Aeropole" indications); after +/-
200 M ...

Hello,

First of all EBCI is not Liège / Bierset but Charleroi (CRL), the 2 MI-26T are parked there for more than 2 years now, I can see them every day while going to work. Some maintenance is performed from time to time (for instance replacing rotor blades), but no flights at all.

Last year local ...

Hello everybody,

Heard yesterday on French radio :

Some days ago, engineers and technicians performing resistance tests on an A380 airframe in Toulouse had a very bad surprise when they heard a cracking sound coming from the wings. They where simulating the conditions of a hard landing at full ...

I personally performed some installation works (sanitary and kitchen equipment) for this new restaurant, quite a good way to match work and spotting :) . As far as I know prices should not be different from ther other Quick restaurants; in the past 4 years some other ones have been installed in ...

My first flight took place on 10th July 1999. The plane was a Sobelair 737, from BRU to AJA. It was 30 at that time.

Martinair A320 coming from the Netherlands, where it was in stand-by. Sent as a taxi-plane by TNT in order to take back the passengers from CFU.

I remember having seen space shuttle Enterprise on its 747 doing a flyby over CRL in 1983, as main attraction of an airshow that took place that day. The other great attraction was an AF Concorde standing on static display the whole day and taking off in the late afternoon, taking the winners of a ...

Heard yesterday evening on French radio : as a consequence of the crash near Athens, TAROM has announced that they will undergo systematic inspection or the pressurization system on all their aircrafts.

According to CNN coverage :

- A passenger said all the lights went down in the cabin just before the landing (maybe due to a lightning ?), but the landing was OK; after that it was obvious that the captain got problems with the brakes and could not stop the plane before the end of the runway
- A ...
