14/9/04 BRU/EBBR spotting report

meerkat · Post by **meerkat** » 14 Sep 2004, 19:39

2 quick visits today brought me a fairly normal crop of Biz at Abelag but also seen was OE-IFA which is apparently the only VIP MD-83 in the world. What is most interesting were the titles this bird carries today. If you check out A-net and other photo sights the aircraft normally carries no titles, however today there is an Iraqi flag with Iraq in English and Arabic either side the flag on the forward fuselage. Did anyone get a picture, if so you will get an a-net first if you are quick!!!

Also seen today were

D-ABNO
F-GRZF
LX-FMR
N627JH
N477QS
OO-LAC
OO-LET
OO-SKV
OO-VHV
D-E... Diamond star (reg anyone?)

plus at 08.45 there were 2 Asiana 747's. This is the 1st time I have seen 2 Asiana on the ground at the same time in Brussels - was there a problem or is this a normal event (not my normal time for a visit these days.) Also need the reg's please.

Vonsmal, you are incredible!

This plane carried the Iraqi interim president from Baghdad to Brussels.

Rutger,

How did you manage to get so close to the planes, at BRU ?
