Hi,

That smoke ring was great to see wasn't it?

The show had some dead moments but I had a nice time though

Greetings

Why do you use KOK in your heading? The only decoding I could find for that is Pietarsaari / Kokkola / Kruunupyy in Finland (ICAO EFKK).
The use of codes/abbreaviations is always bewildering to the non-initated, but if you go inventing your own if becomes really confusing!
If you really want to put a code, Koksyde has no IATA code to my knowledge so you would have to use EBFN - not that this is saying a lot... why not simply mention plain Koksijde in your heading?

Hi,

Nice pictures. When I see these pictures I want to go to an airshow. The last one I went is 6 years ago I think.

regards

Blablabla... so useless. Don't tell me you didn't know he was talking about Koksijde!

Anyway, very nice pictures!!! Thanks for sharing with us!

Thank you for the nice comments.

The light conditions were sadly enough not so good, otherwise the photos would be better.

Hello

Really nice pictures, yet bad weather.
Unfortunatly you didn't went Sunday, the weather was much better Sunday.

I wanted to go, but I cancelled the trip because the Sukoi 27 'Flanker' was cancelled. I don't get why they actually even tought about having the Su-27 in the show, I would call it a wonder if they would have been able to catch the Su-27 here in Belgium

. Anyway, it seems that there where a couple of nice attractions there, among them the team Guinot (which I hopefully will see at Duxford next week) and the Seaking and C-130 + F-16 formation, and of course Patrouille de France.

At least I've seen something too last week. "The last one" flew over here, really nice to see a Fouga flying over from time to time. The past half year I've seen him passing over about 2 times. Last summer I even still saw one in the 'red devils' colours

Great planes.

Best regards: Yannick

Hello

Stevie & Brieky: Wow, that's nice

It is a nice plane after all.

I did had one more question:

Is it normal that you can take pictures from inside the AWACS? I once asked for it a year or 3 ago and I wasn't aloud to take pictures.

Best regards: Yannick

Sabena320 · Post by **Sabena320** » 04 Jul 2007, 12:21

Yes, the AWACS was open for the public and I didn't had any problems with taking pictures of it.

Hi there,

great pictures indeed. I wonder: anything to say on the display of the Typhoon? Anything on agility, accelerations,...

Thanks in advance!
