Due to the eruption of the Icelandic volcano 'Eyjafjallajokull' and the consequent closure of northern European airspace, this Boeing 757 operating a charter flight from Antalya, Turkey to Paris CDG was forced to divert to Limoges.We had the rare honor of having the Astraeus Airlines 757 parked on the apron here at LFBL for 4 days before the airspace was reopened and she was able to continue her journey back to Paris.More photos can be found at: http://picasaweb.google.fr/ecoflyer104/TrafficDePassageABellegarde#
F-GMKG, a Robin HR200/120 is the latest addition to the ever growing fleet of the Aéroclub de Limoges. The aircraft, built in 1974, was purchased by the aéroclub at the end of 2009. However due to the heavy snowfall and poor weather conditions experienced at the end of 2009 and the beginning of this year, F-GMKG finally arrived at Limoges from Dunkerque in early March.Before being bought by the aéroclub de Limoges, the aircraft was based at Dunkerque, where it was used as a training aircraft on the fleet of the aéroclub de Dunkerque.
