Some of the participants of Belgium's National Day défilé...

[omag]

Caught this afternoon on their training-flight...

The Seaking! Splendid livery!





The Alouette



Sia Marchetti



The Herc!



Falcon 50(?)



The Fouga



Three Alphajets



And off-course, the F-16




After the Fouga's I also noticed a formation of more than five birds in the distance. I didn't recognise them, but probably also Alphajets...

I can't wait until tomorrow to see the whole pack!

Cheers,

Hello

Nice: , normally the whole 20th wing should be represented

-A310-200
-EMB RJ145
-Dassault Falcon 20B 'Mystere'
-C-130H

and of course

all those alphajets (also for the last time? :s) , fouga , F-16's etc...

Nice the KDC-10 Extender joins.

If the wall was still open I would all invite you to go to Melsbroek airside , you can see a much better défile there , private , for the Militairy's at Melsbroek. Saw it last year , hundreds time more beautifull than at the normal defilé , and no-one there. The A310-200 , and two EMB RJ145's right before it , performed a (middle speed) low-past by with the gear rectracted , followed by a arrow formation from 3 C-130's at full speed.
The C-130's than broke formation and joined right behind and came for a straight in with a VERY short turn , wich you have DEFINATLY never seen before on any airshow for sure!!! Really amazing!!!

We saw one soul C-130 excersising it's VERY short radius turn for a landing on 25R , really astomishing!!! only at an altitude of about 300ft , it turned only little after the Steenokkerzeel church , to complete it's steep bank-angle (estimated around 80° max) and landed directly on RWY 25R.

Enjoy you all!

I leave for the UK tomorrow to make my appearance at the FIA 20069.

Reminds me of the B52 crash during an airshow with a completely crazy pilot, when you don't follow the rules for years, on day or another, you enter the danger zone and it is too late.

Could someone tell at what time the "show" will start?
Thanks!

Indeed, Alpha's, saw them when passing over Aalter heading towards Ruiselede

ICR, the air-defilé should start around 16:00 h... So when i see the F-16's i'll have to rush downstairs to see the entire flock over Brussels...
