I saw part of it passing over Maldegem on monday around 1600 and yesterday 2 C130's passed by. Will they come over again today ?

It would have been nice to include a A400M prototype and a NH90 demo

But that would have been to mucht to ask I guess

Negative:

REHEARSALS WILL TAKE PLACE ON JUL 14 AND 18, SAME ROUTE, SAME ALTITUDES, SAME TIMINGS.

It would be much nicer to see them at an airshow instead of just 1 flyby over Brussels

For the A400M case it's much harder to get it for a demo/flyby because they have only prototypes at the moment
But for the NH90 it's strange that they couldn't arrange something with the country's currently flying the nh90 not even for the only military airshow that Belgium has

just for info:
anybody an idea what the initial/latest delivery dates are for both aircraft?

[airazurxtror]

According to "Le Soir", the first four Belgian NH90 will be delivered beginning 2012 and based at Koksijde. In all, eight NH90 are expected for Belgium.

Air parade just now, under the customary "national shower".
I was perhaps not ideally positioned to see it all - but I have not seen any helicopter, and only two C130 instead of three ...

I had my own personal flyby here on my terras in aalst. Probably got a better view then the king did, and NO rain
