1. Which aircraft types were replaced with the F16?

- Dassault Mirage V

3. Which squadrons are still flying the Falcon?

@ Kleine Brogel:

- OCU

@ Florennes:
- 1ste Smaldeel
- 350ste Smaldeel

The other question, I do not have a clue. Can you give a hint?

There are 2 squadrons, flying with the Falcon, disbanded. So you need the 5 squadrons you already knew: 1, 31, 349, 350 and OCU + 2 disbanded squadrons.

Here is my question, how long did it take (in days) to paint the Germanwings "Bearbus" (Airbus A319-112, D-AKNO)?

And how much paint was used to paint the aircraft in this special color scheme (in gallons and/or liters)?

Ok, my question has nothing to do with "real" aviation but with an aviation movie

In the beginning of the movie "Airplane" with Leslie Nielsen you hear a PA ( public announcement ) made by a man and woman at the entrance of the airport terminal.
I want to know which 2 sentences the man and woman announce.
