Hi Chrisse,

So just like the last time: excellent line of Hercules aircraft and both the CH-03 and CH09 doing luchtdopen? Or an other kind of event?

Since the place is Brussel-Zaventem an airshow will be difficult for as not much airspace can be given free for those...

Greetings,

Stafsels

Last I heard was that flights with C-130s are out of the question due to new regulations, but Im' not certain whether this is correct.

Hi all,

a participants list for this event has been published on:

http://www.mil.be/15wing/subject/index. ... nl&ID=1328" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

but unfortunately I don't see many reasons yet to go there....even though it's published as the 'grootste open door'.

quick question

Post by Stafsels »

Hi all,

Will the "new" C-130H (the replacement for CH02 and CH06) secondhand Hercules (CH-14?) be present and to be photographed at the Open Deur Dag uncomming Sunday?

Or is this one being overhauled at Marshall Cambridge?

Greetings,

Stafsels
