on a monday?

[Chrisse]

Info is apparently incorrect, it should be September 14 according to base personnel.

Hi Chrisse,

So just like the last time: excellent line of Hercules aircraft and both the CH-03 and CH09 doing luchtdopen? Or an other kind of event?

Since the place is Brussel-Zaventem an airshow will be difficult for as not much airspace can be given free for those...

Greetings,

Stafsels

It's also somewhere 30 years Hercies in Belgian colors IIRC.

would love to see a lineup of not only hercs though... since they have connections with the ADB like we saw saturday... that An-22, would be very nice to see it photographable this time...

[Chrisse]

Last I heard was that flights with C-130s are out of the question due to new regulations, but Im' not certain whether this is correct.

Hi all,

Has there been published an provisional list of participants already or an invitationlist?

And indeed: for most Hercules aircraft planned or also so other aircraft (like historiacal planes of the 15W?)

Greetings,

Hi all,

a participants list for this event has been published on:

http://www.mil.be/15wing/subject/index. ... nl&ID=1328" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

but unfortunately I don't see many reasons yet to go there....even though it's published as the 'grootste open door'.
