AA B772 at BRU 06/10?

Post by Sabena_690 »

Hi all,

Just read on a.net that somebody spotted an AA777 today at the military apron, probably a military charter??

Does anybody have the reg please?

Thanks

Colorado is not the name of an airport. Isn't it rather Colorado Springs, in the State of Colorado, or City of Colorado, Texas? My guess is the USAF Academy.

It is indeed Colorado Springs, Colorado. The plane was chartered by NATO for a summit of the Defence Ministers of NATO over there (8-9 October).

Apparent this AA 777 is returning to ebbr this weekend, as on sunday October 12 there is a departure foreseen @ 0800 in the morning to Dallas Fort Worth.
Together with a visit of an Egyptair 777 in the (late) evening, this day is a "must be there" for our friend "777" :wink: .

  • Don't forget the more than 450 Boeing 777's flying around the world. The 777 is not a rare plane, apart from Brussels.

Oops! Sorry didn't check the database as my usual requests are for scheduled stuff, rarely the one-offs.

I am a bit disappointed that the same aircraft was used for both legs of the trip!!
