Hi BieleAlbatrosy and welcome on the website! As your big image stretched the page a little too much I changed it to a clickable link. (forum rules say 800*600).

Advertising: I present you this easy-to-use photo-gallery where you can upload all your spotting pictures for free: http://coppermine.luchtzak.be

On-topic: can't wait before someone posts a picture of the aircraft when painting has been finished

Oow sorry for the inconvenience. I'll remember it next time.

I'll try to post a picture in full TUI livery as fast as possible.
I hope within two weeks depending on the type of maintenance check he gets.

Great picture BieleAlbatrosy

and welcome to luchtzak

And of course thx for the information Tony

It's nice to see that the plane is allready here at BRU. IT'll also be the lucky one to have the nicest regs of the B737-400's of Tui

Registration is EC-IPF, for now.
Since october I work in H40 of Sabena Technics, on B737 and A320, but future is uncertain. We'll have to wait and see.
In the mean time I can take advantage of it to take nice pictures

The information that I recieved told that OO-TUI would be an ex German registered aircraft: https://www.aviation24.be/contentid-32.html

Will EC-IPF become OO-TUC?

Dave: EC-IPF is owned by Hapag Lloyd, but was temporarly leased to FUA before being grounded by Hapag Lloyd.

Because the registration is still EC-IPF, it apparently hasn't been reregistered to D-AHLJ before being grounded by Hapag Lloyd.

No, when you do some research, you will see that this actually is an ex- Hapag Lloyd aircraft. It will surely be OO-TUI, i checked the c/n.

BieleAlbatrosy · Post by **BieleAlbatrosy** » 02 Mar 2004, 17:12

Indeed, EC-IPF will definitely become OO-TUI, because if not, all the paperwork at Sabena Technics is wrong

BieleAlbatrosy · Post by **BieleAlbatrosy** » 05 Mar 2004, 20:13

EC-IPF registration has been removed and this weekend or the beginning of next week the aircraft will be moved from hangar 40 to hangar 8 to get its new paint job.
