Humanitarian aid...

[Omag 2.0]

At least that's the idea... due to severe weather, Ostend airport was closed 2 days ago. The incomming UN flight to load badly needed supplies for Pakistan, had to be deverted to Schiphol Amsterdam. Today the weather was a lot better, so the last small jump was made...

Our Ilyushin 76TD rushes head into the wind...



Vr reached and the earth drops down below us...



Already over the Northsea, turning toward our flightroute...



Mighty as they are, these Russian birds aren't exactly the cleanest around...



Crossing the boarder into Belgium... decending towards EBOS...



A spotters field day as we go over the ILS-array...



Down and pulling open all registers to halt this beast...



And so the packing can begin... we won't stay long... these supplies should have been in Pakistan already!



Cheers,

Omag

Beautiful, as always.
But isnt it "humanitarian" aid?

Nice shots and nice story. A good excuse for not making a humongously long flight to Pakistan
