Lucky Catch

My employer’s offices live in the shadows off Brussels Airport 01/19 runway. On a good day, planes coming in to land on runway 01 buzz our office. I am not at the office everyday. But whenever I am at the office, I will have ADS-B Exchange open in the background just to see what is coming in.

The other day, while having lunch, I saw a bird coming in on ADS-B Exchange that was marked as “UK Government”. That triggered my curiosity. As I happened to have my camera with me, I walked out to our parking lot, just in time to catch that bird coming in. This Airbus 321 is painted in a distinctive Great Britain livery. Very beautiful to see. A lucky catch for me indeed.
