Most aircraft arrived between 16.00 and 19.00 when the sun is on the runway centerline (25R), hence the sometimes grey pictures when it was actually sunny at the time

A great selection there. Obviously more more in African country governments than we’re led to believe…. 😉

There were more summit visitors on April 1st plus a number of Brussels regulars that presented themselves in the sun

I went back on Friday the 4th to catch some of the planes I missed coming in. The weather was very grey this day unfortunately.

Thanks and sorry guys. The nuclear summit indeed turned out to be more an Obama circus then much else. These planes are still at Brussels, the summit lasts until Thursday the 3th. Most planes will depart again on Friday the 4th. It is possible to shoot departures airborne from 25R. I might go back to see if I can catch the Mauritania and Equitorial Congo planes. Apart from these there were also some european government planes like German A340 and Czech Yak40. I see if I can post these later.
For our Scottish friend, there were some planes already in on Sunday, a not so interesting Air China 747 and a more interesting Burkina Faso 727.

My sentiments exactly Culpano. I’m just off to sack my trip advisor.

Eddy does it again. I’m just off to the corner of the room to have a small cry. Crikey – forget the non-event at Amsterdam photography wise look at this material !!! I would have flown over just for the Senegal, Ethiopian, Chad and Niger beauties. Brilliant.
