Anyone a clue if this weekend are mil gliders active in Weelde, or did the season already end?
If not active, are gliders inside de hangar visible or will they be put in boxes for the wintertime?
As I might be in the area this weekend.
Any help is welcome.

Hi Erik,

Normally the glider season in the Netherlands ends around the end of October. I presume it'll be the same in Belgium. Anyhow, it'll be good gliding weather this coming weekend!

Cheers, Bob
