Random pictures from Brussels

I'm in the middle of my holidays and right now I am in Brussels.

Yesterday I went to a museum which contained a lot of different aircraft - more pictures from there shortly. For now however are a few "random" shots I took of aircraft as they past overhead of departure from Brussels National Airport/ Zaventum [ICAO: EBBR].

Europe Trip 2013: UK to Finland

Three days ago I flew from London Heathrow [ICAO code: EGLL] to Copenhagen-Kastrup [EKCH] and then on to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport [EFHK] in Finland.

The first flight was on an SAS Airbus A320 and from Copenhagen, I was on a Blue1 Boeing 717-2CM, OH-BLI. It is the first time I have been on a B717, which is basically a rebranded  McDonnell Douglas MD95. The B717 was quite comfortable to fly on - the only strange thing was that the cabin air blowers appeared to have a direct relationship engine speed... as the power came on, the air blowers worked harder and vice versa :-)

On to the photos. There are no photographs from Heathrow - it's just not a good place to get photos [once in the terminal at least]. The following photographs are all from Copenhagen. First is one of the signs on arrival. The aircraft photos are, in order:

2 x Canadair CL600-2D24, OY-KFE, of Sandinavian Airlines [SAS]
BAE Systems Avro 146-RJ100, OO-BWH, of Brussels Airlines
Fokker F28-0100, OE-LVB, of Austrian Airlines
Boeing 717-2CM, OH-BLI, of Blue1. These aircraft have a really nice livery!

Last photo is at the departure gates as we boarded.

Apologies for the photo quality - these were all taken through the terminal glass, and some are more or less into the sun...

Europe Trip 2011 #14: Prague - Ruzyne airport

I left the Czech Republic yesterday for London Gatwick [ICAO: EGKK]. I'll be staying in London for a few days and then heading home. Prague -Ruzyne [ICAO: LKPR] is an interesting airport with what appears to be plenty happening, although it was a bit quiet when I was there.

I checked in early for the flight [that is, number 3 to check in], and had a good wander around the airport. The ride itself was OK - just as you would expect from Easyjet... extremely basic, but at least they sell express train tickets etc as good prices. Somehow [even though I refuse to buy "speedy boarding", which only seems to get you in around the first half of boarding, nothing special] I still managed to get a front row seat so unlimited legroom. Unfortunately, the waiting in immigration at Gatwick was at least as long as the flight... oh well.

A few photos that I did manage to capture at Prague are:

Boeing 737-55S, OK-XGA, Czech Airlines
Airbus A319-112, OK-MEK, Czech Airlines
BAE Systems Avro 146/ RJ85, OO-DJW, Brussels Airlines
Boeing 737-86N, VQ-BMP, Yakutia Airlines [one of many airlines based in Russia]
Airbus A319-111, G-EZAK, Easyjet - my ride home
