Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

16L it was, shot from the terminal building.

?? What is a Belgian runway?
Well, I guess Belgian style means that all aircraft are not lined up on the runway perpendicular to the length axis, but halfway cross ("schuin op de baan dus", much more difficult to explain in Dutch.... ;-) )

Schuin, a slant angle would be the English term. Now I got it, thanks Patrick! 8)

no, the tanker flew out of sight due to the sun roof of the terminal. We only saw the shadow of the Herc and we were all trying to see the Herc. Later they picked up the probe and basket from the grass, which was dropped without anybody seeing it.

I always thought Belgian runways were very very short but extremely wide? ;-)

That's the way a typical Fieseler Storch pilot views runways...
