65 years 15W Open Door at Melsbroek 21 & 22-09-2013

Post by gortje »

Hi,

The people of the Belgium Airforce has updated their website with the participants till now:

http://opendoor15w.be/program.html

Today i've had contact with an person of the "15th Wing Air Transport" and has told me that they has also invited many countries like: Jordan AF, New-Zealand, USAF, CAF, Armée de l'air,etc.
But this airforces haven't confirmed that they will come.
So it's waiting the next months if there will be some nice aircrafts.

Regards,

There is no room for that at Brussels of course. The last Open Day I visited, in 2002, only had a static, but a reasonably laid out one at that with interesting items.

And...

Open Door 15 Wing @opendoor15w
In the pipeline but looking (very very) good: Canadian C-130 'Open skies' and UKAF C-130 K-type

That would be very very good indeed :D
