Brussels Airlines launches direct flights between Brussels and Washington

Starting 18 June Brussels Airlines will operate direct flights between Brussels Airport and Washington Dulles. The American capital will be served 5 times per week. Thanks to the flight schedule passengers will be able to connect smoothly to many other US Destinations with Star Alliance partner UNITED.
After the successful launch of a daily service to New York last year, Brussels Airlines launches a second trans-Atlantic destination, Washington Dulles International Airport. There is a big market demand for flights between the European and the US capital, with Washington being the third most important intercontinental destination in the Belgian market, in terms of passenger numbers.
“We are extremely happy to be expanding Brussels Airlines’ intercontinental network and to be able to further reinforce our presence at the American East Coast”, says Brussels Airlines CEO Bernard Gustin. “With this new flight we're not only aiming at passengers flying to Washington or Brussels, but we are connecting the entire Brussels Airlines network with Washington and with the extended US network of our partner UNITED. Thanks to our own flights to Washington and New York and thanks to our cooperation with Star Alliance partners UNITED and Lufthansa we will offer more than ever the best travel possibilities to the United States.”
While Washington is mostly known for the White House, Capitol Hill and the Pentagon, the city and the region have much more to offer for tourists, like the world renowned Smithsonian Museums, the National Mall, Arlington, the botanical gardens and the many libraries. Washington is also an important university city.

Brussels Airlines will operate 5 flights per week to Washington with Airbus A330 aircraft. Passengers can expect the new Brussels Airlines product with full flat beds in Business Class, ergonomic seats in Economy Class and state of the art in-flight entertainment in both classes. These new cabins were introduced only a few months ago and are already being quoted by the industry as one of the best trans-Atlantic travel products. Passengers flying to and from Washington will be able to earn and spend Miles & More miles.

Flight schedule (in local times)
Flight n               Departure                                         Arrival                                    Days
SN515             Brussels          17:30                     Washington     20:15              2/4/5/6/7
SN516             Washington     22:35                     Brussels          12:10              2/4/5/6/7       
(flight time: 8 hours and 45 minutes)

With a late afternoon departure from Brussels Airport, passengers will arrive in Washington in the early evening. Thanks to the cooperation with partner airline UNITED they can smoothly connect to 44 destinations in the United States and Canada, including Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver and Orlando. The Brussels-Washington flight also connects smoothly with Brussels Airlines’ European flights, including important cities like Berlin, Copenhagen, Madrid, Milan, Hamburg, Nice and Toulouse. The Washington flight times also allow connections with the African network to Abidjan, Cotonou, Yaounde, Douala and Lomé, among others.

Departure flexibility
Thanks to the cooperation between Brussels Airlines and UNITED Brussels will be connected to Washington 12 times per week starting as from 18 June. Passengers can combine both flights, which  offers more departure flexibility and more connection possibilities.
 To make this new trans-Atlantic service possible, Brussels Airlines will add an additional (the 8th) Airbus A330 to its long haul fleet.

Best regards,

Daniel

Forty Belgian troops and two Agusta Medevac helicopters leave for Mali

Forty Belgian troops left Melsbroek Military Airport bound for Mali on Sunday morning 27 January 2013. After a stopover in an unspecified country they will be deployed operating two Belgian Army Medical Corp Augusta A109BA helicopters that are being sent to Mali as part of Operation Serval.
They will join the three Belgian soldiers already in Mali. The Belgians will be based in the Malian capital Bamako.
The two helicopters (registrations H-30 and H-39) left Melsbroek for Mali aboard a Russian Ilyushin 76 transport plane today (29/01). The exact location of where the helicopters will be based has yet to be confirmed.
The helicopters will be used to fly the wounded to hospitals and medical posts and consequently will be deployed as close to the front as is practically possible.

Vintage Wings of Canada : When Nature Calls

Ladies and Gentlemen Aviators

Aerial combat during the Second World War exposed pilots and air crews to a terrifying array of stresses, dangers, risks and miseries. Many sorties, especially bombing ops, lasted six to ten hours and even longer. Toileting under these conditions was done only when necessary, and had its own attendant risks and bad outcomes.

About the Veys Collection
In August 2011, the collection Philippe Veys was given to the Brussels Air Museum Funds to be preserved digitally and put at the disposal of the aviation researchers. Most of them are rare sales brochures from the 30's, in French and German language.
Philippe Veys collaborated with many newspapers before World War 2 and collected documents about aviation. The Belgian Aviation History Library was selected for her capability to convert great quantities of paper to digital archives permitting easy access and the diffusion of this collection, the result of many years of hard labour of an Aviation Enthusiast.
The BAMF has allowed Avialogs to publish these unique documents.
If you want to use these documents, please mention Collection Philippe Veys.
