Subject: F104G FX52 opgedoken in Griekenland !

Hallo,
Na vele geruchten over de huidige locatie van de F104G FX52 is het dan nu eindelijk bevestigd.
Zoals nogal wat andere 'ex-militairen' heeft de FX52 de zon opgezocht in Griekenland.
Het toestel is nu onderdeel van de PALIS Foundation, gelegen op de hoek van een industriezone ten oosten van Karellas Koropiou.  Dit is langs de autosnelweg die richting de internatiale luchthaven van Athene loopt.
Exacte GPS-positie is N37.93154, E23.88587.
Op volgende website zijn er foto's zichtbaar van de aankomst van de FX52 in Griekenland.

Blijkbaar is het een organisatie die goed in het geld zit, als je ziet wat zij allemaal op vrij korte tijd hebben verzameld.
Maar als je samenstelling van hun 'Board of Directors' bekijkt wordt alles duidelijk, twee scheepseigenaars, waarvan één de voorzitter is, dat verklaart dus veel en het bevestigd mijn vermoeden dat Griekenland toch nog niet zo arm is als we denken.
Met vriendelijke groeten,
Laurent

Brussels Airlines increases frequencies to five African destinations

As from April 2012, Brussels Airlines will considerably increase flight frequencies to five African destinations. Travel possibilities and seat capacity to/from Yaoundé and Douala (Cameroon), Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Nairobi (Kenya) and Bujumbura (Burundi) will be enhanced, while Kinshasa will be served four times a week non-stop. The frequency increase is made possible thanks to the introduction of an additional long haul aircraft. B russels Airlines continues to reinforce its presence on the African continent. Following the launch of new services to Bamako (Mali), as well as Marrakech and Agadir (Morocco) this year, Brussels Airlines will improve travel solutions to and from several African destinations in April 2012. Thanks to excellent timing, passengers will be able to connect seamlessly between these new flights and other Brussels Airlines’ flights within Europe or to/from the United States. Brussels Airlines will also launch a new, state of the art long-haul in-flight product including lie-flat business seats and comfortable economy seats, with the latest entertainment technology on board. Flying with Brussels Airlines will be more comfortable than ever before. The new product will be presented early 2012.

West Africa

Weekly frequencies to the capital of Cameroon, Yaoundé, will be increased from two to six, while Douala, the important harbour and economic hub of the country, will be linked daily to Brussels Airport instead of the current 3 flights weekly. Moving on from the events at the beginning of this year, Ivory Coast is experiencing a strong economic revival. The country has also announced several measures to stimulate business and trade. All good reasons for Brussels Airlines to increase its flight offer to a daily service. Brussels Airlines will cease its own flights to Accra (Ghana). However, thanks to a codeshare cooperation with its strategic partner Lufthansa, Brussels Airlines will continue to offer comfortable travel solutions via Frankfurt.

Central Africa

Brussels Airlines will introduce more direct flights to this region. As from April, flights to Kinshasa will operate non-stop from Brussels every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Direct non-stop flights from Kinshasa to Brussels will be offered six times a week.

East Africa

Brussels Airlines will also enhance its service to Nairobi (Kenya) and Bujumbura (Burundi). Nairobi will get a fourth frequency weekly and Bujumbura a third.
