Is het mogelijk om vanaf de buitenkant van de basis foto's te nemen gezien er geen tickets meer zijn?

Hi all,

Anyone any idea when and where the flights for the SAR Meet will take place??
According to this message, it will be possible that only 11 and 12 october flights will take place, probably over the beach.
http://www.koksijde.be/sites/default/fi ... r_2016.pdf

Can anyone confirm this??

Will the participants use the approach/runway for their landings or will they land midfield?

Any help/info will be more than welcome.

Best regards Rob.

Last time, some took off midfield others @ the begin. All made one or more passes upon returning. @ that time most spectators were near the aeroclub.

Tx for the info K.9 - the aeroclub at which side of the airfield is it?

' upon returning' & the police pdf says the Astridplein (centre Koksijde at the beach) will be locked off; it is most likely the heli's will perform flypasts/SAR actions at the beach(?).
Do you know if this was the case last time at Koksijde? tx
