Our departing Brussels A330 had a problem with the cargo door so we had over an hour delay causing it to land with only the last rays of light of the day. Plus I was on the wrong side of the plane as we landed on 21 instead of 03 which I had hoped. At least I could see the freight corner and was hap...

A Capital Airlines ‘preighter’ was in the forecast bringing covid stuff so went out to get a landing shot. The Russian Atran 737 has been impounded so presume that will stay for a while. The sole A310 that is left with the Luftwaffe also took to the skies so is still active despite its ‘farewell’ in...

Thanks a lot Niek!! Another new ATR and I can sleep now with the An124 confirmations

Work visit to Cote d'Ivoire with limited spotting opportunities which was not helped by arriving and leaving in the dark... Glass windows allow some spotting from terminal. 2 security guys came to me after I looked only 5 seconds through my bino and shouted something in French so guess spotting is n...

Hartelijk dank Marco!

Short visit brought 2 nice USAF C-17s plus various bizjets.

Short visit brought 2 nice USAF C-17s plus various bizjets. One Global Express that seems stored next to the Aero-Dienst hangar (see photo) didn't carry any registration and would welcome the registration/ID. Thanks!

Bad news for the three-holer fans: the regular Fedex MD-11F flight from Indiana to Cologne-Bonn (4x a week: FX92/FX97) will be replaced by a 777F from the end of March 2022..... UPS MD11Fs are still flying to CGN on the 5X227/228 routing but are sometimes swapped with 744F or 748F so you have to be ...
