F-16 Mini airshow in Antwerp,Ekeren

Post by Skyfighter »

Hi,

I came home from school and heard some afterburners from 2 F-16's.
So I looked to the sky and saw two f-16's making awesome manoeuvres at full throttle. 8O

Does someone know what planes (serial,homebase,....) these were?

It happend in Ekeren,Antwerp near Woensdrecht.

never seen F16's dogfighting before?
When 16's fight eachother, they do the most impossible thingsto get on eachothers back.

Something very cool: For my dad's birthday, I was looking for a great gift.
He's a planelover to so I new he ould appreciate every gift wich would have to do with planes. So I mailed to a pilot asking if he could fly over.
I will never forget that friday: At 13.45 an F16 at 150 meters came over, doing some 'Waggelwings' Right behind hem 3 others in very very close formation....(happened above Turnhout)

It was like an airshow!!

There are exercises going on this month at EBBE.
