Bush coming to Belgium in February 2005

yes indeed apron 3 - as seen on the news... limo's and press entering via the "kuil" (old entrance for SN pilots and entrance to the old tower)

best spot would be on top of the sand hills next to the approach and new ground radar

Ok, so he 'll be parked at apron 3, but it still isn't clear at which rwy he will land, at 25L or 25R (or Rwy 2 if the wind would change)? Anyone an idea which one it 'll be?

SAB-OM · Post by **SAB-OM** » 20 Feb 2005, 20:07

apron 3 is rwy 25L with current winds on 25L
vacating C5 or at the end
but you never know what they ask for security reasons... (02)
rwy 20 unlikely but not impossible .....
current wind is 32004KT

02 would be a nice shortcut... KOKSY DCT NIVOR for 02

my best tip: watch the news for best viewing and go there tomorrow for photographs...

Will he stay 3 days parked at Apron 3 or is going to be replaced after Bush and his staff left the plane ?

Hey!! I managed to take some nice shots from the tarmac! All personal was waiting. Then it was difficult to take a picture, but after bush left I managed to make my nice shot just before biac security send me away! It was quite exiting to see all the harleys accompaning the limousine.

CAn anyone tell me where i can upload one or two shots! They are not nice enough to be accepted by jetphotos. So if somebody could tell me.
