[SpottairBRU]

Hello all,

I'm at work in Groot-Bijgaarden just at the junction of the Ring and E40 and just saw a formation of 4 F-16 flying at low speed / altitude from Groot-Bijgaarden towards the Center/South of Brussels (around 11:05 AM). Any event going on?

Have a nice day!

Fabien.

If you saw 4 jets, it means they have formed the missing man formation overhead the church then....

Thanks for the info... and so sad to hear the news

I had read a lot about him, also his book "J'ai volé la liberté" relating his escape from occupied Belgium and his time in the RAF during WW2.

These were the four F16's. Sorry for the quality, the photo was taken from quite a distance.
