Inside the Hangars at Schiphol Airport - 2009

[streep]

Is it really true that only 2 KL 747's (BFN and BFH) fly with the new economy seats and PTV's at this moment? Has anybody got a list when the rest of the 747's will be upgraded?

As far as I know, Only BFN has PTV.

Hangar 14:

Bay 1 - F-HLOV
Bay 2 - A6-MDG
Bay 3 - (CS-TMT) now all-white with thin stripe along fuselage: could, indeed, become RBAF

Hangar 10:

PH-BDC
PH-BXY
F-GZHV
PH-BXE
PH-BXN
outside: PH-BTI
apparently, G-CDPT had engine-runs outside Hangar 11 (not seen by me, though)

Passing Hangar 32 at 1255 hrs:

A4O-AA

Might havebeen Globespan G-CEOD, now also hanging around the hangars now.

RBAF? Never seen the Belgian Air Force abbreviated that way ! But now that we are at it, does anyone have an idea what its serial number will be? It is still showing CS-TMT on the right side aft fuselage!

It will remain to be operated by HiFly, so expect te registration to remain CS-TMT.

But flying with a civil registration will be under different regulation then flying with a military registration. In my opinion a military registration will be more logical then a civil one.

G-CEOD (Boeing 767 FlyGlobespan) just towed from Martinair hangar to KLM hangar.

Enjoy, Ger

Very True.
On the other hand, the airplane has been flying for the Australian Forces for the last few months also using its civil portugeese registration.

To get back on TOPIC
The airplane will be towed "sometime this weekend" from the paintshop in H14 to H11, where maintenance will continue.

After F-HLOV leaves hangaar 14 bay 2, G-VWOW will follow in week 44 for a D-check, week 43 G-VROC will arrive for a new paint scheme.
