As our vacation home this year is just a 35 minute drive away from Toulouse, I kept an eye out for Beluga-flights as I still needed to photograph these. Everyday, early in the morning, the flights pop-up in Flightradar24 and so the family and I made the short commute to Blagnac to witness the departure of two Beluga’s. Not the best weather but I’m not complaining.
While we were there anyway, we also visited the very nice Aeroscopia Museum to make sure the kids got a proper educational and cultural moment. No photographs taken there though, as it was my third visit to the museum.
Other than that, things were quiet at Toulouse, with just two Airbuses in a position for a photo. Here are the results of one hour next to the runway:
1. Beluga nr 3, F-GSTC departed for St. Nazaire:

A223-AFR-FHZUF-TLS20jul22 by Anton Homma, on Flickr5. Turkish has snapped-up a few A350-900s originally destined for Aeroflot. They are in quite a hurry to have them enter service, hence the modified basic Aeroflot-livery. Seen here is F-WZGB returning to the stand after a taxi-test on the runway. It will become TC-LGK once delivered:
A359-THY-FWZGB-TLS20jul22 by Anton Homma, on Flickr6. And my last photo is this lovely liveried C-160 Transall. This R212/64-GL is now owned by Ailes Anciennes Toulouse. It’s parked across the road, behind the fence, near an Airbus-hangar until they figure out where they are gonna park it; either at Ailes itself or at the Aeroscopia museum.
