VERY low passing aircraft

Post by sean1982 »

Hi everyone,

When I came out of the supermarket in Aalst about 10 minutes ago (16:15) I saw an aircraft passing overhead at max. 3000ft. It looked to me like an A330 or B777 and was flying with a lot of sideslip if you ask me :-s Anybody knows what it was??

Grtz,
Sean

SIOUX29, CS-TMT practicing for the national "défilé" on the 21st. Was reportedly seen overhead Aalter as well, accompanied by 3 C130's and 3 F16's.

Hello,

It was the A330 Belgian Air Force.

Some minutes before where also three F16, three C-130 and one or two Agusta.

I've seen the three C130s leaving after that, on the HUL-REMBA-BULUX route...

Saw the A330 over Brussels from a 10th floor office and yelled: "It's Air De Crem!". ;)
