Still some nice pics you made

Very strange , other airports are very busy now with the holiday season and BRU is calm , what a poor "spotter-country" we live in

I've planned to come over to Brussel for a day spotting. Can anyone give me advise and what I can expect. What is the best day of the week and were can I best stay, at wich spot?

Just take a look at my BRU spottingguide on my website , the best spots , for me , are 2 and 8.

2 is the spot near the new-built soundwall. This spot is the best on Sunday as all traffic lands on 25R and normally takes off from 20 , but I heard that runway 02-20 is closed at this moment for works , maybe Vonsmallhausen can help us about that

Spot 8 has always been my favorite for landings on 25L.

The best day should be Sunday , I think

best day is sunday indeed 02/20 is closed for the rest of august, so landing (except for cargo and military) on 25L and T.O. on 25R.
for the moment only a few "local based" flights like Virgin and SN land on 25R, even TC flights mostly land on 25L.
in fact, the only non-cargoflight, apart from the SN and Virgins who received 25R without asking, was the Veuling.
