Icarus GF had just the one B757 freighter when I was at GF. I flew it as well as the B767.
Usual was as you say to BRU via Sharjah.
Two nights in the Brussels Hilton on excellent allowances thanks to Steve Coyle.
Always felt sorry for the DHL crews when we arrived in our shiny B757 around 3am after an easy 6 hour flight to see them halfway through a 4 sector night in a B727 or Electra. They all looked pasty faced and at deaths's door drinking soup from a machine in their crew room.
