About tonight’s epic sunset…

Over the last few days, a massive Saharan dust plume over Western Europe has been transforming ordinary sunsets into impressive colourful displays, even causing the Sun and its sunspots to be visible to the naked eye (and photo camera) without filters.

Last Monday morning this beauty visited BRU in great meteo conditions.

Cathay Pacific A350 B-LRJ features the airline’s classic “lettuce leaf sandwich” livery to promote the airline’s 80th anniversary.

Here she is on finals for RWY 25L as CX291 HKG-BRU 🇭🇰🛫🛬🇧🇪

Onlangs las ik: “the US are addicted to war.” en dat is gewoon zo. De VS hebben gewoon oorlog nodig want alles is in hun ogen een strijd die moet gewonnen worden. Desnoods zoeken we een strijd waar er geen is. En zo kan men ineens de industriële oorlogsmachine een bestaansreden geven. Handig.

Sinds de inauguratie van DJT hebben de VS niets anders gedaan dan Europa te beledigen en hebben ze zelfs openlijk gedreigd een land te annexeren.

Europe vroeg hier niet om maar trekt zijn conclusies en besluit een meer onafhankelijke koers te varen.

Nu is het weer niet goed. Wawildenagast?

Het Amerikaanse Hooggerechtshof heeft geoordeeld dat de importtaksen van Trump illegaal zijn.
Allez, de aanval op Iran is nu wel echt voor ieder ogenblik.

Het is 2026 en een ambassadeur van een land met vrij dictatoriale neigingen beledigt een ander onafhankelijk, seculier land vanwege medische regelgeving omtrent religieuze besnijdenissen. Jezus effing Christ (pun intended)!

Since a few days I’ve picked up my Airbus A320 training where I left off a while ago. There’s better way to get to know the A320 than by taking up Brussels Airlines’ OO-SNB ‘Rackham’ for a quick virtual flight from Brussels to Copenhagen 🇧🇪🛫🛬🇩🇰 #msfs2020 #airbus #a320 #fenix #snrackham

Here’s a good view of the part of BRU where yesterday’s incident took place: RWY 07R, where #SK2590 should have taken off from, and just next to it you see the taxiway where the SAS A321neo was taking off from, including the more narrow TWY V1 where the flight rejected its takeoff.

Taxi path of SK2590 in Brussels.

Yesterday evening, #SK2590 began its departure roll while on a taxiway parallel to the runway. Preliminary data shows at maximum speed of 107 kt prior to braking. The aircraft stopped before lifting off and passengers disembarked via air stairs. fr24.com/data/flights...

On Thursday evening 5 February 2026, Scandinavian flight SK2590 from Brussels to Copenhagen, operated with Airbus A320neo SE-ROM, attempted a takeoff from TWY E1 instead of RWY 07R. It aborted its takeoff at high speed and came to a full stop. All pax were evacuated.
