Post by erik_kamphuis »

Anyone info if there might be any mil gliders active at Weelde on friday June 18th PM.
I am thinking about a short stop after Gilze airshow.

PL64? There's no PL64 any more as far as I know. I saw the previous PL64 (an ASK.13) at Goetsenhoven last week being stored.

You're right! My mistake. Delete PL64. Still, the summer camp provides a nice opportunity to catch some gliders.

Small correction, there are never military gliders at Weelde.
The belgian aircadets are supported by the Belgian military, but the Belgian aircadets is a civilian organisation. :wink:
