Helicopter formation flight

Post by Ozzie1969 »

Yesterday, June 16th, I spotted a formation of (at least) 5 helicopters flying over Brugge. Unfortunately, I could not see any registration or even any colour scheme, as I was driving at the time and could barely see them. Does anybody know what that was all about?

Maybe it has something to do with the Open Luchtmacht Dagen of the Dutch Airforce, which take place friday 17 and saturdaty 18 of June 2005 :

Blue Eagles? That's 4 Gazelles and 1 Lynx. That's the right number of helicopters, indeed. And I saw them above my home town around 1600 hours. I guess they were the ones, then. Thanks, fightertown.
