Fons,

For your 1001 post this is a real good one

However I'm afraid that a lot won't understand it. :jump2:

I guess the number of photographers who never had problems with carry-on-board of their heavy, large and expensive photo equipment is -if even excisting- very small. For all those who ever had, this announcement that I just received from the ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers) ASMP announ...

In the pub you have to laugh time by time so :

What's the difference between a Budweiser and having sex on the beach

None. They are booth f*****g close to water. :cheers: :cheers:

Comet, I don't know what you mean with "the sound of luggage problems" You can have the same "sound of luggage problems" with SNBA as with Virgin Express because the luggage from booth, as well as about 50 others companies in Brussels is handled by BGS and not by the companies. :...

For those who didn't do yet, You still have one week to vote for www.aroels-aerialphotography.be in the "Clickx Magazine" contest "Amateur site of the year 2003" and have a chance to win one of the interesting prizes. For the site it's only a question of honour, and as we are all...

Thanks to all those who voted already for www.aroels-aerialphotography.be and those who'll do in the future

And Yes !!! Luchtzak deserved surely his place too in the nominated sites.

A poll about the validity of a poll !!!!! What will be next ??? A poll about the validity of a poll if the poll is posted before or after midnight ??? Please stay serious. The fact that LESS than 1 % answer these polls says more than enough. I think it's high time that all the administrators put the...

MD-11 This is what the Americans call "The wall of Fire". On some airshows a lot of phyrothechnic's (fuel) are putted into the ground and with the overflight of the warbirds, bombers, or jets they ignite these just like it is the aircraft who does it. A few months ago, during the airshow i...

Lien,

For the SR-71 there would be too much bubbles in the champagne, for the champagne it would be a shame to use it that way, and I know a lot better ways to consume it.

Hi MiG17,

I had plans to be at the airshow next week-end too, but had to change my plans.

However I'm coming almost every year at least once to Vegas and Nellis AFB, so I'll keep you informed about my next trip. (Will be around March 10th 2004)

Regards

Two very interesting books about the SR-71 are "The Untouchables" ISBN 0-929823-12-5 and "Sled Driver" ISBN 0-929823-28-7 Both are writen by Brian Shul former pilot of the "Sled", the SR-71 nickname, with very interesting stories and marvellous pictures. If you are luck...

Meerkat,

You're right they didn't use normal fuel.
The fuel they used costed more a litre than the most expensive whisky (This isn't a joke) and it burned probably more in a hour than I'll drink in my whole life

Fons,

I'll think about that the next time that I'm between the approach lights for taking some pictures.

"What is your favourite military aircraft ? " This is realy a difficult question for me. In a first reaction I would say, the Wright Flyer with which aviation started about 100 years ago, from which I only saw the original pending on the ceiling in the Air & Space museum in Washington,...

I did some research and found out that the decision to use registrations on civilian aircraft was taken during a convention held in France in 1919, and undersigned by the 27 countries who participated at the convention. But this doesn't explane yet why Belgium got the "O". So I'll continue...

Hi 777

I had the newspaper, (HLN) and the magazine (Dag Allemaal) but throw them away.

However, I'm sure that if you call the redaction of HLN or DA and ask for it, they will send a copy of the publication.

The list of airports named after famous people is endless. Charles Lindberg in San Diego Ataturk in Istambul Queen Alia in Amman McCarran in Las Vegas Saint-Exupery in Lyon Louis Armstrong in New Orleans to name just a few. From one airport I'm not sure, Zurich - Kloten. Home airport of former Swiss...

Without having the intention to defend Grossiels, I'm for 99,99 % sure that he didn't said and meant it that way. The problem is that a lot of journalists don't know what they are talking and writing about, and use the words of someone in the way they want them to use. I heard so many times the disc...

Comet,

You're discussing about endless links added to posts.

May I remark that you're the ONLY ONE who's adding links to your personal site on every post that you add.

I was last wednesday at the VEX press conference about their new business concept which allows you, to pay (10 €) for more leg room (first six rows) and choose out of a selection of "D'lish" meals. And I have to say, the food was delicious and I find this a very good idea. You decide what ...
