BRU 24 & 25/05/2017 Air Force One - President Trump - Arrival 1545 - 1600 LT on 25R, Brucargo

[sn26567]

On 25 May, for the inauguration of the new NATO building, there will be a military air parade. Does anyone know which aircraft will fly at that parade?

I have the feeling that this AWACS aircraft that was very recently adorned with a new special livery could be part of the show

Hi,

My flight leaves BRU at 17h10...

Do you think that I need more time as usual in the airport itself... security ? kissnride ?

POTUS is at ABELAG no ?

Some (3? 4?) BAF F-16 for sure.

If confirmed, that would be exciting!

A 707 !! For sure it will be the highest noise-fine ever

According to Fightercontrol forum a C-17 should arrive as RCH492 02-1099 he has an ETA of 1045Z into Brussels.

Thanks for the info and welcome to Luchtzak, Viper!

It just flew over Aarschot!

Apparently there's already a so called "Marine One" from the HMX-1 squadron flying above Brussels. Interestingly it's one of the Seaking's and not one of the Whitehawk's.

So I presume that it either arrived earlier by plane, by ship or was flown over from an American base in Europe?

[KriVa]

It arrived with the C-17 21099 earlier today.

Does anyone know which aircraft will fly at that parade?

Rumour is it will be a variety of fighters including F16, Saab Gripen, Dassault Rafale to illustrate team efforts. Last one could be AWACS.

Rehearsal was May 16th early afternoon with F16's. But no reports here about low level fighters. Keep your heads up

Anyone for the serial of the VH-3?

Thx

Air Force One in TLV (by Yochai Mossi) it's seems to be SAM 28000 is coming to Brussels?

In 2014 Obama came with SAM 29000.

[AK01]

Both 28000 and 29000 were in TelAviv, so big chance both will be in Brussels tomorrow.

NATO summit Brussels: advisory to passengers travelling on 24 and 25 May

On 25 May, a NATO summit is held in Brussels. In Brussels, as well as at Brussels Airport, special security measures will be in place on Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 May.

These may cause delays at certain moments and involve traffic diversions on the roads around the airport, especially for traffic coming in from Brussels. So please make sure you check the traffic updates, leave well in time for the airport or take the train, especially if you are coming in from/travelling to Brussels. The car parks at the airport will be open and accessible.

Real-time traffic info: www.verkeerscentrum.be (Dutch) or www.inforoutes.be (French).

We are making every effort to limit the impact on air traffic and the airport but we cannot rule out minor delays as the local airspace will be briefly closed for the arrival of the American president and for the inauguration flyover to celebrate the official opening of the new NATO headquarters.
