... They should consider giving 200.000+ enthousiast taxpayers and “neighbors” something in return as a another viable reason for organizing the airshow. AFAIK that was one of the reasons for organising the Open Days in the past. I think it is even mentioned quite literally in the book "Vlucht...
Most, if not all, Sanicole participants fly out of Kleine Brogel. So you will see roughly the same aircraft at Sanicole and Kleine Brogel, except for spare aircraft (which stay at KB) and some helicopters which fly directly out of Leopoldsburg (the Sanicole Airshow location). Given the event timings...
Is het bekend hoeveel F16's op LWD momenteel überhaupt nog vliegwaardig zijn? Ik hoor verhalen van slechts 3... Dat zou een magere mass-takeoff worden dan... Volgens f-16.net heeft 322 nog 10 F-16's over, maar ik weet niet hoe actueel die data is: https://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-16/aircraf...

Naast "Пуск" (Pusk), gebruiken ze ook "Белая пошла" (Belaya poshla - Wit is vertrokken) voor het melden van salvo's / raketten, waarbij de kleur dan slaat op de kleur van de raket.
Last week I visited the ARMY 2910 show with 4Aviation. Here are some pics from the Sunday airshow and Monday departures. Although it doesn't show in the pictures below, the weather wasn't all that good, with rain or rain showers every day, though Sunday and Monday had some sunny moments as well. #1 ...
Yesterday, Cougar S-456 came in three times to drop off troops for their Airmobile exam. The troops have to make it to Schaarsbergen on foot, carrying a 40 kilogram backpack. The backpacks were carried in a sling net underneath the Cougar. After each drop, it came back for a low-level pass. #1 https...
I was there last year to visit Chernobyl, and also visited the State Aviation Museum in Kiev. There are two gates where you have a clear view of the runway and north-eastern taxiway of Zhuliany Airport.
Taking pictures was no problem when I was there.
Entrance fee is 50 uah (about 1,55 euro)
