Around 16.15 I have seen a tupolev 154 landing on runway 02. Maybe it's a special aircraft.
It was from the Poland Air Force. I couldn't see if it was the 101 or 102.
Can someone confirm which registration it was.

Kind regards

There is/was a summit or top meeting today so many Government aircraft made the effort to attend. A nightmare for spotters around Abelag as the security was stepped up but seeing as the traffic is fairly common it isn't a real problem. Just be glad when it is all over.
The T154 you saw was 102

Can't we make a topic about what's expected ?
Because the moment we read this it's already to late ... On Scramble.nl they do this and for me and I think for other spotters as well, this is really handy ... + I don't seem to find this kind of info on the spottersdatabase ... It's always nice to know what you get when you're out spotting !!!

If you know what is expected go right ahead and make the topic.
Perhaps the topic wasn't made because nobody knew???

what a great day for spotting it was today, really worth taking a day holiday for. Some pics, all taken from the 02 spot. I wasn't alone there so I'm hoping to see some pics from the other guys too. No idea who they all were though...

had a splendid day at Brussels today

lots of Governmental planes today due to the "Euro top" specially this Romanian B-707 was a nice surprise

and this Turkish A320 TC-JLC in "retro" colors made the day complete :jumpy:
this is how it looks now

and this how it must have looked like "then"

off-course there where lots of others, including Tu154's, A310's, An26 (i think, not shure of the number

) and much more

just click on the following thumbnail, and from there on click on the image to see the next from today

let's hope for some more days like this

Vonnsmallhausen, I guess I was standing pretty close to you, I was the guy with the Bigma and the monopod, identify yourself

Thanks for the registration of the Tu 154.

Stoney your picture of the B707 of Romania is great. I found it very beautiful. Great picture of a great plane I found

Thanks to share them!

Kind regards

Well, I managed to take some pictures before the police stepped by...

Off course, they have to do their work as well!

Again much money spent for safety today...

i don't think so

i see you where standing at the "little bush" spot, i was at "Ikaros" and i saw nobody with a monopod

great shots you made b.t.w.

Stoney · Post by **Stoney** » 23 Mar 2006, 21:43

thanx, I was indeed at the little bush spot

Ikaros spot is close to the 02 landing lights?
Offcourse, equally great shots from you, as usual

Goodevening,
looks like a lot of spotters had a great day ! I couldn't make it due to work but I was able to have a close look during my break. I spotted the aircrafts behind the well known building and I saw police standing near the fences on the other carpark. Saw one police patrol on the airport which noticed me but was not bothered.
Thanks for the photo-contributions !

Dear Tim,

we encourage people to start a topic when they know a special plane which is coming in Brussels. Often those expected are mentioned in the spotters database a few days in advance. When last minute specials come in, you might find from time to time a topic here in the forum. The problem is that quite often nobody knows that such planes are coming and thus we just know after the landing that it was coming....
