Brussels (Zaventem, Melsbroek) (EBBR/EBMB/BRU) - 2008

Thanks to luchtzak.be

27/03
AN-22 ADB ETA 16.00 ETD Tonight. (with broken AN-124 Engine)

If you do copy information from another site, please do it right. You post at 16:43 that at 16:00h the An-22 is expected. If you would have read the info a bit more thorough, you would have seen that it was 16:00Z, which is 17:00 Local time.
Please also note the use of abbreviations. 'eta' stands for 'estimated time of arrival'. In this case, it was a scheduled time. The correct abbreviation for this is 'sta'. An eta is known when the plane is flying and expected at the destination, taking into account the weather conditions and airspeed.
The abuse of this abbreviations is very frustration for spotters looking for correct and accurate information.
According to my info, the An-22 has not yet departed at Gostomel at this very moment. Thus it is impossible to have an eta. The departure is scheduled for March 30.

Greetings,
Rutger

Maybe someone can give us an update of the Russuian An-30 that should be flying today, and make a stop at Volkel at 17:00 local.
Is it airborne already, or is an STD/ETD known?

[Robin_Bamps]

Reportedly she's in the air (the AN30).

Regards, Robin Bamps.

[rut-her]

The information I have to show my goodwill:
An-30: departed 1030L. Scheduled back at 18:10L

Greetz,
Rutger

To get back to topic:
Is the An-30 staying at Brussels tonight? And if so, is it parked at Abelag, or the mil platform? I will pass Brussels late tonight/early in the morning, so would love to see it!

[Robin_Bamps]

@ Patrick,

Should be parked at Melsbroek (military apron) if she returns.
That's where she was parked the previous two days and also where earlier Open Skies flights were parked.

PS: TK1939 tonight opb A332, eta 16:33 (sta 16:45)

Regards, Robin Bamps.

[Robin_Bamps]

Touchdown 19:55...

[Robin_Bamps]

And en route another AN124 as ADB106F, eta 01:50 on 29/03.

This means we'll have a line-up of two AN124's, an AN22 and an AN30 at Melsbroek tonight.

Regards, Robin Bamps.
