D-HCBR Airbus helicopter H145M is iets voor middernacht geland op KB. Ofwel voor fuelstop of voor overnight. Heli zou van Airbus zelf zijn en heeft heel de avond getest op Pampa Range. https://www.airfighters.com/photo/244986/M/Hungary-Air-Force/Airbus-Helicopters-H145M/D-HCBR/ Die staat al sinds m...

You're correct, it's 26+47 (that was a type).

The identity of the G91 is different as well, it now appears to be 32+58/5 (also ex Baarlo), and not 99+05.

Kind regards,

Where did the Thunderstreak P-263 go in Belgium? Didn't find the answer on this question in this topic, but the P-263 is now preserved in Tessenderlo in Belgium. It's with the same owner who also has the Westland Whirlwind (XG576), but not at the same location. The Whirlwind is now roof-mounted at ...

Today OO-LUM is expected at Brussel. Is this one of the new Falcons? Hmmm... if OO-LUM is 1 of the 2, what would the odds be that the second will be OO-FAE? :wink: :roll: Registration OO-LUM and OO-FAE were already confirmed several months ago. On the following FB-page a series of pictures were pub...

Beste vliegshowliefhebbers, Met veel ontzag hebben wij de afgelopen weken en dagen de media gevolgd. Iedereen, maar zeker niet in het minst onze provincie Limburg gaat door een zeer zware periode. We hebben dan ook binnen onze organisatie het mogelijke doorgaan van onze vliegshow in 2020 intensief b...

This afternoon a Belgian Air Force A109, serial H29 (the one with the demo scheme), developed engine problems and made a precautionary landing on a parking lot at Machelen. No damage to the aircraft. https://www.hln.be/in-de-buurt/machelen/helikopter-belgisch-leger-moet-landen-op-parking-door-techni...

Apparently excercise THPU is going on until next week, any foreign participants this year ? On Tuesday, April 2nd, a German NH90 from Fassberg was noted a EBBE, probably a partipant of THPU. https://scontent.fbru1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/56222401_10218464072142559_5021755936637714432_n.jpg?_nc_cat...

According to this picture, ST02 as well, so only a couple to go I guess. https://scontent.fbru1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/52917280_2264370817178033_8688603588655579136_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_ht=scontent.fbru1-1.fna&oh=3735eee5d3423c29efb769c5aca793d2&oe=5D1E8662 https://scontent.fbru1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/...

Total estimated cost for the purchase is 3,8 billion Euros, this amount also includes the...

During arrival and departure days, a lot of participating aircraft joined a "Skyvan" before landing/after departing, which meant that these aircraft did not have any fuel left for any flybys at KB. So what is the story about the "Skyan"? Military aircraft, payed by the taxpayer, have to invest thei...

There where posts that the static was not on the parallel runway this year but only on the southern platform.

With about 27 aircraft in the static (including an A400 and AWACS) this seems to be a very unlikely setup !
