Large formation from about 16 choppers just took off.

Minutes later Wildcat ZZ398 (army) arrived.

The flypast was noted over Brussels around 14.00 local. Unfortunately weather conditions were very poor at that moment.

Hi Laurent,

Can you please tell us more about the flightpath the formation took to reach the Nato building (spefically over the Brussels area)?

Also anyone that has suggestions on where to stand tomorrow to be able to photograph the flypast properly (keeping in mind all road closures and exclusion zones)?

Many thanks in advance.

[Laurent]

The flight path was the same as last year, over Kraainem towards the NATO building.
I hope this helps

Van de VRT vandaag: "Een vijftiental helikopters vloog dinsdag in een grote boog over Brussel. Het gaat om een proefrondje voor het helikopterdéfilé ter gelegenheid van de Navo-top. Tijdens de Fly past, die om 13.50 u. geprogrammeerd staat, worden de verschillende toestellen getoond worden die de bontgenoten gebruiken. Aan de luchtshow nemen ook Belgische Agusta-helikopters deel."

Afijn, tijdstip bevestigd, ik gok op Bevekom voor de beste foto's.

From Scramble Facebook:

On 11 July 2018, a massive helicopter fly-by is expected over the NATO Summit. Twentytwo helicopters from thirteen different countries will perform a fly-past over the new NATO Headquarters at 13:50 hrs (LT).

The package consists out of five formations of attack, transport and utility helicopters which are all lead by a helicopter of the host nation, Belgium.

1. Four helicopters: a Belgian A109, a British Lynx, a Polish W3WA and a German H145M.

2. Five helicopters: a Belgian A109, a French Tigre, a German Tiger and two Romanian IAR330s.

3. Four helicopters: a Belgian A109, two Turkish T129s and a Hungarian Mi-17.

4. Four helicopters: a Belgian A109, two Czech Mi-35s and a German NH90.

5. Five helicopters: a Belgian A109, a Slovenian AS532, a US UH-60, an Italian HH101 and a Danish EH101.

A little correction:a British Lynx has to be a UK Wildcat.

Yesterday there were two UK Wildcats at Beauvechain.
