Aviation enthusiasts and Star Wars fans were treated to a very nice surprise on Sunday 6th November 2016, as All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight NH231 NRT-BRU was operated with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner JA873A nicknamed ‘R2-D2 ANA JET’.
The aircraft wears a striking Star Wars livery and was nicknamed ‘R2-D2 ANA JET’. It is the first of three ANA aircraft to wear a special Star Wars livery.
It was the fourth time that ANA operated the R2-D2 ANA JET to Brussels Airport. Unfortunately, local weather conditions were less favourable then during its third visit to Brussels Airport (on Wednesday 9th December 2015), but we still managed to get some good pictures.
