Sabena flight 905 is a Sikorsky CH-34A "Choctaw" standing in for and painted as an S-58 on a flight from Brussels Zaventem to Antwerp Deurne (EBBR – EBAW). We have 40 gallons of fuel on board for the short 17 nm flight. There will be moderate cloud cover above us for the flight. We will be cruising at an altitude of 4,000 feet only briefly.
