Hello

So guys suggest the best place would be at the B-line parking at the end of RWY25R/RWY07L?
Would be fine for me I only fear for it it would not take the very last taxiway near the firegate at the end of that runway.
I also don't know about the heathaze, maybe I go for sure and go for the 'high approach' shots at the RWY 25R approach, but don't know for sure, all will depend on the time I still have free tomorrow before I leave to BRU.

Regards, Yannick

Is the parking at the end of 25R accessible for everybody or dou you need an airport badge ?

Where exactly is parking place 690 ? DHL, Abelag ?

Thanks for info !

The parking itself is only with a badge, but you can stand there to take pictures if you want.

I think the best photo-spot will be on the parking between Abelag and Sabenahouse, on our staff parking, although I don't think that it's a good idea to squeeze yourself between the cars there...

Too bad the weather will not be that good !

What is the best place to shoot good pictures of the beast ? end of 25R perhaps ?

[Airbus A330]

What is the best place to shoot good pictures of the beast ? end of 25R perhaps ?

Yes, runway 25R at arrival or at the end of 07L (P58 if I am not mistaken) when it vacates 25R at the last exit. I don't think it will be possible to make good pics of it when it is parked due to the apron lights?

What about the hill near Brucargo ?

[mikka]

Hi, so i plan to arrive at zaventem at around 5.
Can anyone direct me to the stop of the bus line that will take me to the spotters place?
thanks
mikka

I think the hill at Brucargo is the best for photographing purposes (arrival), that's at least the spot where I think I'll be at for the arrival. The plane vacates in front of you and the sun comes from the right direction.

Most of the buses (or even all buses?) drive along the B-House and the end of 25R. Just ask the driver to be sure

[p33]

Hello All,

I'd really like to see this monster, but I don't know where I should go to...
I think there is no area at the airport where you can see the planes landing.
Should we go outside the airport ? Where precisely ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

If it parks on Apr60 and uses 25R for departure they will have to taxi via the Inners, M, E5, F4, W3, W4 to 25R (like we do at night)
of course if able and if BRU doesn't open the closed taxiways for the circumstance...

Or via the R's... just for the show...

Anybody that knows a website with a webcam so that unlucky people like me who have to stay in the office can follow this event ?

The aircraft can also backtrack the runway if some taxiways are closed or not wide enough.

I don't think the rwy is wide enough to make a 180° turn

[brakke]

I heard some rumours that it would receive near Brucargo (it might be also near DHL), a "welcome shower" by the fire brigade...

This is correct, the airplane will receive a water salute (I thought on the taxiway right at the end of 25R).

Didn't saw any planes at Brucargo so might turn there maybe... And as it will probably a water salute over there.
