Pictures like this will be hard to make at Florennes. But how are the photoconditions nowadays at EBFS at the taxitrack with western winds?
Is it possible to take pictures of a/c with entire landing gear visible or is the high grass preventing this?
Long time I havent been there since TLP....
Thnx

Today the taxi track leading towards runway 26 was out of commision due to contruction works. Aircraft follow a different taxi pattern as normally. Meaning aircraft have to cross the main runway and follow the taxi track on the north side to line up at runway 26.

I suppose the TWM jets fly a morning and an afternoon mission this week?
If so, around what time could I expect the afternoon wave to take off?
Thanks in advance.
