You're right, thanks. It was a typo, probably because I saw the HZ-101 earlier this week.

Just two pics from today, but I think they are interesting. First of all a picture of the 7T-WHA, an Algerian AF C-130H-30 in a sad state. This Hercules ran off the runway in November 2010 and was subsequently damaged. Since then it has been stored at the north side of Le Bourget and got dismantled ...

Coming Monday and Tuesday the G8 Foreign Ministers Meeting will be held. This will probably mean increased military traffic at Le Bourget and Vélizy-Villacoublay.
It would be appreciated if anybody has more information and is willing to share that.

The funny thing is that those Bentlage pics look like the could have been taken yesterday. So, many things changed in 30 years, other things didn't.

This was probably Ascot5584. It requested Fire Services to be standby by upon landing. The landing followed without any problem. Tower mentioned that fire trucks were following the aircraft, upon which Ascot5584 responded that this was not necessary.

Hmm, strange, A Libyan Government Falcon just filed a flightplan to Mitiga:

FMC the Netherlands
@FMCNL FMC the Netherlands
BREAKING: Libyan Govt Falcon DA-900 flight tail nr 5A-DCN will depart Minsk UUMS at 17:00 UTC for Mitiga HLLM

This would be an excellent opportunity for Malta to "acquire" it's first jet fighters

Just reported by Reuters:

Two Libyan fighter jets land unexpectedly in Malta, witness say - Reuters

Only one piccie today, a nice Andrews C-37

This one proved to be rather difficult because of the big light pointing towards me. http://www.niekvanderzande.nl/Images/B737Thai.jpg Apparently the life in Egypt is getting back to normal again. The regula...

Yes, that could be, since Flight Safety International also has a facility at Le Bourget.

Today I decided to pay a visit to Le Bourget again. The main reason was the UAE Boeing 747. http://www.niekvanderzande.nl/Images/B7471.jpg http://www.niekvanderzande.nl/Images/B7472.jpg I visited the museum (free admission) in order to take a picture of the 747. Whilst I was there, I made some other...

I also found some on my harddrive.
