Yes it was a very bumpy flight. The crew was just amazing, the captain and FO were very kind with a perfect landing (nice with that kind of winds :!: ). As Robin said, lots of people were ill (even Paul Michiels got a little ill :wink: )

VRT, VTM and RTL were there, we were interviewed by VTM but we had a nice talk with Tijs Mauroo (spelling :oops: ) from the VRT also. The camera-man from VRT was looking very ill! :lol:

As my computer is being formatted, I'm unable to upload pictures, but it was very hard to take some good pictures (dark + lots of shake)

Thanks to Tim, Kristof and Bart for there great company!

Regards,
Rutger

The man that sat beside me (Camerman for VRT) was sweating and shaking too. I think we really had to suffer for the victims in South-East-Asia, altough i totally wasn't ill yet. But, if the flight would have endured for 30 more minutes i would have been abhorrant too.

Sad that I wasn't there for a bumpy ride :)
Never had a flight with "luchtzakken" :(

Well, he was sitting behind me and indeed he wasn't very well !.
The woman next to me and her little daughter was also suffering from the very shaky flight.

I remember a flight to Washington which was flying in similar conditions for several hours. We were not allowed to loosen our seatbelts during that period.

I must admit this short flight was a bit rougher. Under normal flight conditions we wouldn't have got permission to loosen our seatbelts but the media had to shoot there journal footage.

I want to thank the pilot and crew for there excelent service they have given us. The flight was very bumpy but I never had such a soft landing !

Let me also say that my thoughts still go to the Tsunami victims, and I hope that the little sum I've spent to this flight will help families and other people who suffered this tremendous tragedy.

But also a bit pale :oops: A bit longer and I would have looked like this :pukey:
I didn't get a window seat and because of the turbulence I couldn't make nice pics from the flight.
But I made some pics on the tarmac.
I'll post them here later on.
I was sitting next to a woman with her daughter. They both had their first flight.
So I made some explanations of what was going on and told them also that on a normal line-flight they are flying "above the weather"
But they seemed to enjoy their flight.

I must admit that last week I almost became sick because of the turbulent weather. And for an experienced frequent flyer ;-) Then I think: poor tourist, they must feel very bad. Luckily barfbags are in the pouch in front of you ;-)

And the most right person is Neil BURROWS, Managing Director of VEX, I think...

Here's my "report"...
We took off from RWY25R with following speeds: V1:147kts, Vr:153kts, V2:159kts and made a CIV(Chievres ) 8C departure.
At 400m we made a left turn toward Charleroi. From Charleroi we flew back via Brussels to Antwerp and so via BUN back to Brussels where we landed on 25L with a speed of 140kts and having used about 1500kgs of fuel.
Take-off weight was 56000kgs of which about 5000 kgs fuel.
Wimpie_D made a pic of this paper I got from the flightcrew,as you can see above.
Here are some of my pics...

Now the "Dungeon's Master" will tell me this is another subject?
