EBBR/EBMB? 5-9-2017 MIL

Post by AK01 »

With credit to Rj at Luchtzak, two Saudi AF C130's (472 and 1631) are due into Brussels this afternoon.
They are re-locating from Kleine Brogel being the support for the Saudi Hawks.
Any info on parking, and options for photography will be highly appreciated.

Pieter,
Normally he adds EBMB to it as parking spot is Melsbroek.

They can, they can also be read off. The only thing is that you will have some fence in front of it.

472 departed around 30 minutes later.
Both South over France, looks like they go home. So next week another 2?
