Nice plane

But what's that "thing" on the top ?

"In 1979 Boeing completed an upgraded E-4B,
which was distinguished from the earlier version by
the presence of a large "hump" on the dorsal surface
directly behind the upper deck. This contains the
aircraft's satellite communications equipment."

At 14h30 there was some activity around the E-4 (the crew was doing some pre-flight checks and a lorry brought some cargo to be loaded onto the aircraft). I guess it won't stay too long...

Hello;

When i was outside a plane (737-300) passed over my house for BRU.
I'm not sure wat it was, it was around 15h.

It looked like a Flyme, but i'm not sure, or might it be that BBJ that is announced in the spotters database?

can someone help me,
Thanks

Also in the spotters database, there is a Flyme mentioned yesterday. Probably it was that one.

By the way; nice visitor, that E4-B! And nice pic!

Hello

8O D :censored: n what a gorgeous bird! If i'd only knew it earlier

I might had be able to go and spot it.

After 'Airforce One' (VC-25A) and 'Airforce Two' (VC-32A) , i'd SURE like to see this bird

than I saw the 3 most marvelous governmental birds of the US

(not to forget those magnificant USAF BBJ's with the blue belly

).

Does anyone knows the reason for this bird's visit? Since it is capable to refuel in the air I guess it want be a refueling stop?

Btw : what do I see in the background at the LH-technics? Correct? LH AB6?

Best regards: Yannick

Success to all students!!!
