Hi,

I've just updated the participation list of the KB Photo Call on http://www.baha.be" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It’s getting better by the minute and includes also practice flights by Jordanian pilots on their "new" F-16's (some equipped with "old fashioned" Mavericks).

Have fun,

Daniel

Hallo Daniel,

It gets worse instead, because Czech aircraft are not on your list anymore and also no sign of the 2 French M2000's.
Wil these aircraft be present on Friday or not???

If the Jordans are going to fly would be nice. But maybe it is me but I still see no changes on this site:http://www.baha.be/Webpages/Navigator/N ... l_2008.htm.

Hi,

Some more updates,

* We will have two 31 Squadron F-16's in the static wearing the Tiger banners applied for the Nato Tiger Meet 08.

* A four ship C-130H diamond formation (including special paint CH-07) will make fly by's escorted by KB F-16's

* This is to be confirmed !!! A six ship Marchetti formation will also make fly by's in the afternoon.

Something else: To avoid having to walk quite a distance from the parking lot to the base, three shuttle busses will be available to transport you.

Best regards,

Daniel

I’ve got one question (or maybe I’m missing some info)

Will there be a B-1 at Keebee or will it do only some passes at the Sanicole show.

Is this for the airshow or the fly-past?

Hi,

The Jordanian pilots are following their conversion on F-16AM (MLU) with the OCU at KB. What is special to it is that they are flying the aircraft which have been sold to Jordan. So this is one of the rare occasions to see these aircraft while they are still flying in Europe. Unfortunately they are still in their BAF c/s.
Some are equipped with Maverick's, a weapon which has been retired from the BAF inventory for years.
Everything which is marked on the BAHA website is for the photo shoot. As a lot of flying is done due to rehearsals for the 21 July parade over Brussels we arranged to have as many aircraft as possible making fly by's for the spotters and photographers. I have just been informed that all rehearsal flying has been advanced by two hours so you man now have these aircraft around 15h00L. So, many F-16's, C-130's, Alpha Jets (?), Marchetti's and perhaps some "white" aircraft of the 15th Wing.
In all their will be constant activity - the best ingredients for a super photo shoot.

Best regards,

Daniel

@DBX:

Maybe a nice sugestion: Request a fly-by or toch and go by the four Aviano F-16's that will leave Leeuwarden friday??

roberto · Post by **roberto** » 16 Jul 2008, 19:59

According to a short message on airshows.be the Czech delegation will arrive on saturday like the Red Arrows.
As the French M2000 are also not on the list for Friday at this moment, it is also possible that these will also arrive on Saturday.
Maybe Daniel can confirm any of this????????!!!!!!!
