Hi

Yes he's right, the Easyjet is really nice with that last ray of sun.
Others are of course also nice :D.

That A310 ... don't tell me I see right if he's missing one (or more) cockpit windows?


Regards, Yannick ;)

No, the A310 OE-LMP is standing next to hangar 41 in storage, now almost for 3 years. Occasionaly it's towed into H41 for removal of bird's nests and changing the covering of the engines and cockpit windows (the black plastic).

So the owner is still paying for the maintenance of this one?

I don't know but presumably not because the last time it was inside the hangar would have been last year, which can be seen true the condition of the covers. Does any one know what will be happening to the Cargo B B747-200 (the one with the tail strike) which is standing at apron 40. Normaly it would have been dismantled this summer but now due to their financial problems...

I presume they won't fix it to send it to the desert. Maybe we have a new OO-TEF for the firebrigade.

The 2 744's of Cargo B are re-registered and are/will be stored at VCV (OO-CBC -> N384NC and OO-CBD -> N385NY).

As usual he says ... the day there's a 'picture screw-up'-section in here, I can fill it on my own :) :)

Hi Bottie ,

Very nice pictures ! Thanks for sharing !!
Just a question, could you also share the parameters you use (on your camera) to have such sharpness (at least for the landing birds). Do you make use of a tripod ?

Could you also give an indication where P3 is ?

Thx for your help & keep "feed" us with such great picts.

I'll post the camerasettings when I get back home.

I never use a tripod, only for the nighshots because shutterspeed is 20-25 seconds. The landingshots are made on a ladder, so a tripod isn't an option for that, luckily I have a steady hand (also IS on the lens helps a lot).

P3 is the new parking, closest to Sabena Technics and the satellite (new Brussels Airport offices).

First attempt was on top level, but there was too much wind, so we went one floor below (more cars, less wind) to get the cam as stable as possible out of the wind.
