Greetings,

Why would the French Air Force be landing in ANR, where there are no military installations, rather than in BRU?

[jeanolieslagers]

You do not need military installations for training flights, do you?

[jan_olieslagers]

Even Belgian Air Force craft (from Marchetti's to C130's) are regular visitors to EBAW - why then shouldn't our neighbour countries'? Mind you, there is no indication these flights were for training purposes, but that does seem like the most likely reason.

(on a sidenote) The timings given correspond so perfectly with French table traditions - lunch starts at 13:00 local, dinner at 19:00 - a nice bit of planning! Which is of course an important part of flight training - don't forget the vitals

Hello

Seems the FAF were cancelled (flightplans are removed)
