Caught this afternoon on their training-flight...
The Seaking! Splendid livery!
The Alouette
Sia Marchetti
The Herc!
Falcon 50(?)
The Fouga
Three Alphajets
And off-course, the F-16
After the Fouga's I also noticed a formation of more than five birds in the distance. I didn't recognise them, but probably also Alphajets...
I can't wait until tomorrow to see the whole pack!
Cheers,
Omag

Hello
Nice: , normally the whole 20th wing should be represented
-A310-200
-EMB RJ145
-Dassault Falcon 20B 'Mystere'
-C-130H
and of course
all those alphajets (also for the last time? :s) , fouga , F-16's etc...
Nice the KDC-10 Extender joins.
If the wall was still open I would all invite you to go to Melsbroek airside , you can see a much better défile there , private , for the Militairy's at Melsbroek. Saw it last year , hundreds time more beautifull than at the normal defilé , and no-one there. The A310-200 , and two EMB RJ145's right before it , performed a (middle speed) low-past by with the gear rectracted , followed by a arrow formation from 3 C-130's at full speed.
The C-130's than broke formation and joined right behind and came for a straight in with a VERY short turn , wich you have DEFINATLY never seen before on any airshow for sure!!! Really amazing!!!
We saw one soul C-130 excersising it's VERY short radius turn for a landing on 25R , really astomishing!!! only at an altitude of about 300ft , it turned only little after the Steenokkerzeel church , to complete it's steep bank-angle (estimated around 80° max) and landed directly on RWY 25R.
Enjoy you all!
I leave for the UK tomorrow to make my appearance at the FIA 20069.
Best regards: Yannick

Reminds me of the B52 crash during an airshow with a completely crazy pilot, when you don't follow the rules for years, on day or another, you enter the danger zone and it is too late.The C-130's than broke formation and joined right behind and came for a straight in with a VERY short turn , wich you have DEFINATLY never seen before on any airshow for sure!!!
