Hi, I've got some spare time this week and I would like to go to Florennes or Reims. Does anyone know if there is many mouvement on this base?

[Wim]

Well, The nightflights have started again I think, so on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday there might be some F-16's from KB at Florennes. Also the C-130's of Melsbroek are often going to Florennes now for practice approaches. According to some flightplans there were 3 C-130's at Florennes on Tuesday 21 september for training. So I don't think its completely dead over there. But when I can choose between Florennes or Reims, I would definatly choose Reims... But thats my oppinion

[Midair]

Thank you for your info. Finaly I was at Reims yesterday and they start to fly at 13h30. Only 5 aircraft flew I think it's do to the repainting work on the runway and the taxiway. Maybe next week will be better for Reims.

Nice log with the 4 MF-1's on Tuesday. What did they do at Florennes? We had them in Koksijde for a low pass over the airfield comming from the direction of Florennes and heading to France again around 18h30lt, I guess these are the same machines?

Maybe due to the runway maintenance at Reims AB this week.

The 4 Mirage f-1 arrived in the morning and they did a mission with many F-16s and M-2000D (from Nancy) in the afternoon. At 16h00lt, the F-16s and F-1s came back at Florennes.
