DHL DC-8 question

Robin_Bamps · Post by **Robin_Bamps** » 24 Jan 2005, 05:13

Hello everybody,

I hope somebody can confirm the recent sightings I made out of my classroom... Is it true that every Thursday morning between 09:00 and 10:00 a DHL DC-8 is leaving Brussels ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards, Robin Bamps.

Hello

Yes indeed...very nice that he doesn't leave in the middle of the night but at 08:00. I saw him several times now..and i'm really happy about that.

Really nice plane!!!
If you would have asked me...i would even tought that he came more than 3 times a week...but it seems not.

Best regards: Yannick

Correct, but since this was not the main question I did not mention the other three weekly flights DHL024 to Bahrain on Wednesday, Friday, Sunday with etd 0620.

Thanks for the information Skystef, it's very useful for me. If the scheduled departure time is 08:00, it means that it was often delayed the last few weeks than.

I have a second question, also about DHL : During my second lesson today (this means between 09:05 and 09:55), I saw a plane taking off from runway 02 and afterwards making a left turn. It looked like a DHL B727 in new (yellow) colours.

Can somebody confirm this ? Thanks in advance.

Best regards, Robin Bamps.

Thanks once again SkyStef and Marca. My eyes were good it seems...

Too bad I couldn't be at the 02 spot at that time, that would have been a marvelous pic ! But than, I still have to be happy that I can see all those planes out of my classroom !

Regards, Robin Bamps.
