Great news. I hope they'll re-use their old slogan/baseline "Wings of Flanders". Sounded nice and it gave the airline an identity (what CityJet completely lacked, btw). Another thing: aren't these VLM-Fokkers getting a bit old? Any plans for a fleet renewal in the future perhaps? I know th...

Here it is. Looks good!

On the other hand, what are the chances to find a "drietalige" francophone editor...?

Looks good! Finally a modern design.

I hope Brussels Airport follows the example... (their website is a DISGRACE)

Does anybody know when this A321 will enter service? It's been flying in BAF "colors" (lol) for some time now...

Another question about the A400M: why do we have to wait until 2019, that is 5(!!) years from now, until we get the first Belgian A400M? What is the reason behind this? France already has them, Malaysia in 2015...

Yeah, let's create another 'communautaire' problem... Good job, Walloon politicians...

^^ The "components" are one of the many ridiculous decisions of PS-minister Flahaut... Thank God he's gone (hopefully for good). He just saw the military as a humanitarian organization instead of a real army. When he was minister, the Belgian military was the laughing stock of Europe: neve...

The world is changing.. prime minister of the UK travelled to Lanzarote with his wife Samantha on Ryanair !

Guess he has some Scottish blood ..

What has the Scottish blood to do with it, if I may ask?

CS-TRJ moved to the 15W apron by now. The Belgian flag on the tail has disappeared, so no more discussion on how it should be presented. Now it has become the "50 shades of grey" airbus. 8-) But why oh why? :cry: :thumbdown: The BAF is always messing up their aircraft liveries! The A330 f...

The return of the VLM name would be nice. After this, we can only hope LH will use the same Sabena again for SN... (not joking)

Duke, have a look at the American flag on Air Force One: http://planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=1289762

They just announced that the G8 summit in Sochi is cancelled and that the G7 will meet in Brussels next June.

So Obama is coming to Brussels again in june

I'm not sure about my info, I just got it from the media...

Obama will arrive tuesday evening with Air Force One in Brussels/Melsbroek. Does anyone have more info about the hour of arrival?

And can we spot AF1 in Steenokkerzeel or will all roads around the airport be blocked?

According to HLN.be and De Tijd, Boeing is trying to sell the 'semi-stealth' F-18 Super Hornet to the Belgian Air Force: Dutch: http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/957/Binnenland/article/detail/1810530/2014/03/12/Wordt-dit-de-vervanger-van-de-Belgische-F-16-s.dhtml Advanced Super Hornet: http://www.boeing.com/...

^^ Flanker2, your doom scenario makes no sense. Your reasoning could be right if Western Europe would do nothing the coming 20 years, while Eastern Europe is moving forward. Ofcourse this is not going to happen. Western Europe, and Belgium, are constantly innovating their economies. The EU just publ...

^^ Biggest nonsense I've read in a loooong time.

Europe = misery, hate, poverty,...
Russia invading another country = good
Belgium in 20 years = in ruins

Sure...

Btw, you're not Russian by any chance? :crazy:

The tiny chance that Belgium would invest in a Russian jet fighter has now completely vanished. Indeed! Btw, the current serious conflict in Ukraine is another proof Belgium really needs fighter jets to remain a reliable NATO partner, because NATO matters. Ukraine is not that far away. Conflicts ca...

Belgium has multiple 'pooling and sharing' agreements with the Dutch military. In the future, there will be even more cooperation to reduce costs. In this regard, the choice the Dutch made for the F-35 will have a big impact on the choice Belgium is going to make. Objectively speaking, it will be be...
