Post by BieleAlbatrosy »

Hi everybody!

Tomorrow there will be a Beluga coming concerning the Thomas Cook stabilizer, that's for sure.

I heared someone say he would come around 11:00am but I couldn't get any confirmation about that.

Hope you'll all be able to get here :wink:

Thomas,

I suppose that the Beluga would land on 25L, since it'll go to SN technics afterwards.
I thought that the A320 was in repair with SN Technics and not LH Technik :roll:

Indeed exactly my thought. Was about to post the same :)

The A320 works are being done in H40, so most likely the whale will land on RWY 25L. But I'll be watching from H40 8)

any ideas when it will depart again? Normally I can see all heavies depart from my office in Brussels north, but with this shitty weather today I doubt I would be able to see it...

patarn mentioned in another topic that the plane would be on the ground for about six hours. It was allready at BRU around 10h30 this morning, so I guess that it'll take off around 16h or so.

Now comes the big :?: Will it turn to the right or to the left after taking off ????
I hope it's gonna be left since, I live in Overijse ;)

I hope the right, sorry for that Avro :)

I'm pretty tired of always seeing the singapore airlines, Saudi, korean, cathay 747's... (Never thaught I would say something like that ;) )
This would be a nice change...
But like I said, don't think i can see it... I heard another heavy take off about half an hour ago, but couldn't see anything...

fingers crossed ;)

Sorry for the lower quality, I had to downsize the image because of the few webspace still available.

Regards, Robin Bamps.

Ooow got around90 pictures :)

Yep the Beluga came early. Normally he would arrive at 11h15, but it was about 10h20 when he arrived.

I'm hurrying to make a selection and to get them online.

For those who missed him, he will be back!!! Don't know when yet. OO-TCC still has no stabilizer, so DO NOT PANIC!!! STAY CALM!!! HE WILL BE BACK!!! :-)

Anyway, it's great to hear that he will be back :mrgreen: , but why didn't he get the stabilizer ??? What part has then be delivered by todays Beluga ?

BTW do you know when he'll be leaving ?
