ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

100 years Military Aviation in Belgium [MIL]

Post by Wim »

On 16 april 2013, the Belgian Air Component celebrated the 100th birthday of military aviation in Belgium. For this occasion Belgian Defence organised a "joint power demo" in Beauvechain on 6 september for some invited VIP's and high ranking military.

The demo was a realistic scene of a conflict situation and showed the cooperation between the Air component, the Land component and the Royal Netherlands Air Force.

They also showed some of the future aircraft for Belgium, the Airbus A400M and NH-90.

A very nice collection, good to see the collaboration here.

And the weather also cooperated
