CKS giving us a great present thismorning: N-712CK

Great to see this old -122 series back in action after being stored in oscada since 12/2004...
She also got new paint this week, way better than its former a/w livery!

Here they are ...

G-CPEP, First Choice Boeing B757-200

Did they do over-sea approaches today? I didn't see a single one approaching! Perhaps the cloudlayer was to low in Brugge.

If the weather allows, I'll be around Ostend soon, just don't laugh with the guy in the blue Astra, using a non DSLR camera, if you're there too...

Another quick question... what are the best spottingdays at EBOS? I believe mondays are a bit slow, but what are the busy times?

Cheers,

Omag

Great photos guys!

Seems like there was some nice traffic at OST again. The last few weeks we've been treated pretty nice, they may keep it that way!

I'm already looking foreword for the "Paasvakantie"!

He did very short circuits with visual approaches, so you couldn't have seen it at Brugge.

There are no "bussy" days, it's allways a guess. the very few flights that are here every week can be found @ www.ebos-spotting.be

Didn't you hear ? Boeing reopened the B747-100 line to compete with the A380 !
