info about BAF operation Active Trip 2012

[cathay belgium]

Hi,

2 years ago I read on our favourite site that the belgian airforce component held some international manouvres for evacuation training of expats, they searched people to participate and in return they get a flight in a C130.
I joined and flown ursel-chievres- florennes .. great and fun days...

They said these practices were organised each two years on different airbases/provinces..

I saw on the site that they are planned for this may.

Anybody more info where, if and how you can join this event again?

No info on mil.be yet?

operation was named : Active Trip.

Thx,

Hi,

In order to participate, does one have to be employed by the Belgian Defence? If not, how can we enroll for this excercise?

Seems an exciting opportunity !
Primitive conditions of living should be no problem for a RYR frequent flyer ! :thumbup:
Unfortunately, I am at least twenty years too old ... :thumbdown:

Dont't think so, two years ago there were also some of your age..
but it includes one night in primitive conditions ...

Pity should be fun to have you in our group, but will see you on a next avgeek daytrip..

Don't think FR as primitive conditions, more modern times,nothing for free and free entertainment for all and a landing with a bell

Next wednesday I'll go for BGY ,..

vomit bags available?
( C130 low level flights... )

[cathay belgium]

Hi,

Regi : there were indeed some vomit bags available!

We had the luck of a pilots gift : some heavy turns were we get some free extra G's !
Waw,what a feeling but some pax needed their bags during and afterwards.
The flight which took off before us had a successrating of around 50 percent so being told by a pax !

Loved it,the feeling of getting heavy, free thrills!

Love to join again in 2 years! Maybe we can pray for the A400M by then
