This morning a C-17 Is standing at Abelag. Too dark to read a reg when I passed.
Anyone who knows the ETD?

Was it because of these visitors there was a circular contrail between +/- Koksy and Costa around 10.30? Was the first time I saw something like this

This morning I've seen the 747 with the Great Wall livery above Brussels when I was going to school.

Was this 9V-SFH? What's the reason for the repainted tail?

I've also seen a 747 when I was going home and he was just above my head. I couldn't see which one. It was around 11.10. I couldn't find anything, also not on the brussels airport website. Can someone identify this airliner?

Kind regards
Bavo

That must have been 73-1677, USAF E4 (modified B747)

Yes, it was him. The tail is repainted to IJ because the airline will restart operations in the next couple of weeks.
