Exactly five years have passed since I took these photos of the one and only Antonov An-225 Mriya UR-82060 over Belgium, enroute on 27 October 2021 from Almaty to Shannon as flight ADB3982 🇰🇿🛫🛬🇮🇪 Unfortunately the aircraft was destroyed in February 2022 at Hostomel Airport during a Russian attack.
United Airlines’ special Stars and Stripes livery was back in Brussels today. On these photos she is depicted just few moments after a lunchtime takeoff from RWY 25R as UA995 BRU-EWR 🇧🇪🛫🛬🇺🇸 #united #brusselsairport #avgeek
As aviation winter season W26/27 is about to begin in the Northern Hemisphere, some airlines are changing routes and/or frequencies. Unfortunately it appears that Norwegian airline Widerøe has decided to cut its service between Bergen and Brussels permanently just two years after opening the route.

Ik heb heimwee naar de tijd toen je nog voor een normaal bedrag twee dagen naar de andere kant van Europa kon reizen om een totale zonsverduistering mee te maken.
Today Boeing received US FAA certification for the Boeing 737 MAX 10. Here’s a photo I made back in 2022 of one of the test aircraft at Boeing Field / King County Airport (BFI / KBFI) near Seattle, Washington. ----- #boeing #b737max #b737max10 #boeingfield #avgeek
Lufthansa’s final Airbus A340-600 flight is on its way from Washington to Frankfurt #lufthansa #a340 #a346 #flightradar24 #avgeek
Always a pleasure to welcome All Nippon Airways here in Belgium after a long flight from Tokyo Narita to Brussels, especially in great evening light 🇯🇵🛫🛬🇧🇪 #ana #boeing #b787 #brusselsairport
The Boeing 747 Queen of the Skies is still going strong at Brussels Airport, at least in a cargo configuration. Here we see two yesterday evening B747 cargo arrivals on RWY 01 in less than ten minutes: an Air Belgium you-name-it-hybrid-liveried B748 and an ASL Airlines B744 #brusselsairport #b747
Meta took down the No Kings Instagram account during today’s No Kings events.
Allez, Zacharia mag haar tas al pakken. Wat een lompe klucht toch, die administratie…
Wat ben ik blij dat ik geen les krijg van Tom Sauer. Hoe die ‘hoogleraar’ Poetin en Rusland alsmaar blijft verdedigen is toch redelijk hemeltergend #deafspraak
About yesterday evening’s short hop from Brussels to Copenhagen. Felt good to be back in the virtual cockpit after a three month hiatus 🇧🇪🛫🛬🇩🇰
So it appears the artist’s / pilot’s name is Benjamin McDaniel. He has an instagram account ‘The Pilot Picasso’. Check out more of his work here: instagram.com/thepilotpica...

Some additional dragonfly macro photos I made the past few weeks in the nearby park. Quite pleased with the result but there’s definitely room for improvement (eg a dedicated macro lens). During the photoshoot I had to explain to several people who walked by, what the h#%< I was doing 😅
