This evening a Belgian Air Force Airbus A321 was escorted by two Belgian Air Force F-16 jets until short final runway 01 at Brussels Airport. The  Airbus took off from Madrid-Torréjon Air Base, and was intercepted by the fighter aircraft for an approach towards the airport. When the Airbus landed, the two F-16s performed a go-around procedure.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
