Thanks, Lex - most interesting !
Remark : very few opportunities in Belgium, many more in the Netherlands - more aviation minded, I guess ...

Afraid so. I was first gonna fly the DC-3 from Antwerp, but the flight got canceled due to a lack of interest! Though I should also mention that I had seen zero publicity about this event.

The 300-600 will soon be phased out @ TG, last flight TG435 on the 31st of July

Classic airliners, OK. They were not rare e few decades ago: I had the pleasure to fly a great many of them from when I started my professional career in the late 1960es. But it is interesting to see them slowly fade away: that gives opportunities to the younger ones among us to try some oldies.

Thanks, Lex, for your list.

[SpottairBRU]

Nice list Lex!

For the A310, you can add Sata International, that you can get from LIS or OPO to the Azores

They also have the Dash 8 Q200 in intra-islands flights.

Further 'rare' types (even if not classic yet):
SF34, S2000, DHC-6: Loganair in Scotland (currently flying in FlyBe franchise livery)
B717: Blue1 in Scandinavia (currently flying for SAS)

Hi,

Just asking why avgeeks are travelling to Canada and Azores to catch an A310-300 when there is every fridaynight an A310-300 leaving brussels at a very reasonable fare and you can fly back on A318 on sunday this winter for 157 euros including luggage and drink and food service!
airline and destination : bucharest OTP and TAROM

Just don't say I didn't told ya!

And older people like myself who have flown dozens of A310s (Sabena, Pan Am, Eastern, BAF, etc.) don't feel the need to fly one more.
