BRU 12/08/2006

[Established02]

So I went plane spotting for a few hours together with my little daughter, an activity which she passionately combined with flower and insect spotting.

I noticed how this FQ A320 landed on 25R. While previous aircraft were exiting the runway at a previous taxiway, this aircraft took the next one and ultimately came to a full stop, possibly cutting the engines. The aircraft had been standing there on the taxiway for 5+ minutes until a truck arrived to pull the aircraft all the way to the gate. I believe there must have been pax in the aircraft and so possibly the aircraft may have encountered some technical problems during this flight.






I noticed this "classic" van parked at brucargo.
It's interesting to see it still being painted in the old "World Airways" colours.




I'm surprised to see that -after introducing the new colours in 2003- quite many DHL aircraft are still painted in the old white colours.


12/08 10:10 Dubai via Liege K4 208 afgelast 20:55 74X
So the flight got cancelled, but in what way would it have made sense to have a stop both at LGG and another one at BRU???

12/08 14:40 Hong Kong via Manchester CX 001 afgelast 14:40 74X
12/08 14:40 Hong Kong via Dubai CX 001 vertraagd 18:05 74X
It looks like CX made a last(?) minute decision to drop the stop in MAN.

12/08 15:30 Jeddah SV 901 afgelast 15:30 74L
Second time this week that I see an SV 74F flight scheduled into BRU (and cancelled).

12/08 17:00 Jeddah SV 930 afgelast 17:00 M1F
I noticed this one at Lufthansa Technik last Thursday. It may have left by now.

All taken by me and my dad with the Canon EOs 350D with a Canon 30-300 lense with image stabelisation. Cropped and brightnes/darkens with Photoshop.
If anyone wants to know the story on the weird OO-MJE picture and on the completly bizarre SIA 744 pic: I wanted to make nose close-ups, it worked pretty well with OO-MJE, tough it was not quite what I intended to do, and with the SIA, my zoom was just way to high. They where just so bizarre that I couldn't resist putting them in.

Hi,

I noticed that specific aircraft too, what was taken my attention was the fact that the gear doors were open, that maybe can indicate a problem with the landing gear, but also the flaps where up when he stood there (I noticed the 320 a few minutes after he was landed, thus it could be that they already retracted it before shutting down the engines), what can indicate together with the gear doors, a hydraulic problem...
I'm curious what happend, anyway a few hours later I saw him towed probably to hangar 41...

Does anyone have the regs of the two Atlantic Airlines Lockheed Electra's that were parked on the DHL apron?

Thanx in advance.

KL 1723/1724 was operated by a F50 instead of a F70 in this case PH-KVG

G-LOFE was one and I think G-LOFC was the other
