I think I just saw it !!!

around 14h30 (not sure)
Allthough i don't know much about airplanes, it really intrigued me. It was flying extremele low!!! Why is that? I thought it was in trouble

If anyone can tell me a bit more about this flight, i 'm really interested!
What is this plane doing today, en why is it flying so low? Where is it landing?
Thanks!!

LX-N90451 Awacs E-3A did some very nice base training (circuits and ILS)
with 40° / 20 knts crosswind. It was very impressive to see that beautiful bird landing.

Cool that the AWACS planes are visiting EBOS more often now !

If you want to laugh, please surf to the WILOO website

They have sent a letter of complaint to the Secretary General of NATO, and they have a very funny "Sound Team" movie again with a not-well trained English voice

Btw, nice pictures Michel !

Regards, Robin Bamps.

PS: Can one single person call himself a "team"

Too bad for him that he had to stand there waiting "the last past hour"
