Title: Brussels (Zaventem) 28th April 2015
Post by: Mark Woodhead on May 02, 2015, 05:53:27 PM

I couldn't resist the Ryanair offer in February of a €39.98 return trip in their "Biz" class from Dublin to Brussels. It was a great days spotting, but it is difficult to see everything. Attached are two of my most interesting photos. If anyone wants detailed information on what can be seen and from where I shall be happy to post the details.

You caught the Tintinjet!   Nice one :D

Any good freighters?

The Tintin one is very nice-I remember watching that in the mornings during the summer holidays. :)

Yes I saw the following freighters: Ethiopian 777F, Singapore 744F & a Euroatlantic 763F, and just before I left in came an Aeologic 777F & a Kalitta 744F. Sorry no pictures of them. Vey often they get Quatar Airways 330Fs , & sometimes Asiana & Yangtze River 744Fs. Attached also is a photo of the Condor/Thomas Cook 767-300. Other aircraft seen included 4No. Jet Airways 330s, 3No.United 772s, Thai 773, Hainan 330, and an Ethiopian & Arkefly 787, 2No. Jetairfly E190s, and 2No. Neos 738s (now with sharklets probably operating for Jetairfly, and some smaller Europian commuter(ie. Baltic Dash 8, Bulgarian E190, Air Lituanica E170, and Montenegro E190).

Cheers Mark!  Quite a variety.

That Condor one is a bit of a mongrel, 'German' airline with Belgian reg and UK parent's livery :)
