Does Chirac refuse to fly in the same plane as Raffarin? Does France have enough money to send two planes? Isn't it faster to travel from Paris by Thalys?

What's the plane model flow for the second smaller plane for French by officials?

Thomas,
Dammed, I was there too at the same time as you (between 5 and 6pm). In fact I was waiting for the Blue Line MD83 which happened to be a Spanair. Where were you standing and how could I have recognized you ?
Nice pictures indeed
Greetz, Karl

I made an interesting observation Thursday & Friday - not many Belgian spotters are interested in the sort of aircraft on show these last 2 days!!

On each of my visits to the Abelag area (where most of the visitor's were parked) I only saw cars with yellow rear plates (Dutch, British and French). I know that Vonsmalhausen was busy taking landing shots but not too many Belgians with their stepladders seemed to be out and about.
Maybe I just was there at the wrong times - I hope so!

(I met a British spotter there on Thursday who I first met in the 70's at Mildenhall when he locked his carkeys in the boot of his car and we helped him break into his car. I've met him since all over the place including several times at Warton whilst viewing the Tornado production line)

most of the "yellow plate" spotters @ Abelag came ( just like myself ) from Florennes TLP ( i "spotted" most of them on the last TLP day off the current session )
i did'nd stay long @ Abelag because most of the planes there where parked verry "spotter unfriendly"; just some exemples :

i dicided to go spotting @ 02, it proved to be a good decision

, maybe those guy's did'nd know about the 02 spot, do i saw som yellow plates there to
