I'm guessing a new name for Cargo Plus Aviation, still using ACE ICAO code, registered to Cargo Plus Aviation, Ostend,

the paint job is quite...basic! But its nice to see that these birds have not retired completly

Btw, HBA bought two DC-8-55F, does anybody have some pics of these birds? I've only found one on the net!

In another forum somebody mentioned that two DC8's of this company will be based in Ostend (AXA and AXB). Is there anyone who knows more about this?

And for the regspotters :

9G-AXA is c/n 46113/521 ; former N811AX of ABX Air.

This airframe visited BRU as such on 04/01/2006 (dep 5th).

ABX Air has only 5 DC-8-60F's left in active service now.
