LOG: Cairo International (CAI) 22apr

[Bokkum]

Hi,

Got a cheap return ticket with Egypt Air to Bangkok.

Nothing noted while in transit to Bangkok (2 hours in darkness), on the way back we got the hope to see the annoying missing Embraers of Egypt Air (still needed 10 out of 12)

We arrived at 05.32 local time with oldie B772 SU-GBR, 5hrs transit before our flight to Amsterdam

On arrival we could count 11 Embraers (grrr), during taxiing 7 could be read off
After some research (while settled in the restaurant between the F and G gates, as views from the gates is NIL) we noted that two out of the Embraer fleet were having a blue tail only …
1 out of 7 we read off was SU-GCT (blue tail only), so the missing blue tailed Embraer needed to be SU-GCX (FR24 confirmed no flights for a long time, so probably hangered)
And SU-GCX was one of the two Embraers we already saw before (so Embraers cleared !)

Nice log! Did you note any Cn295s or C-130s?

No views from the Egypt Air terminal ... saw enough during taxiing and departure, but couldn't read any (perhaps if we would be seated on the right and with a good camera. But we are both not into photographing ...)

Ok thanks.
