|
Thanks
Florennes for all your facilities in the past... and welcome Spain in 2010
! |
|
Below
this article we'll give you a small photographic impression of a few
participants... |
|
|
|
...
such as the hughe Turkish Phantom, and the mighty Spanish Hornet |
|
|
|
A
Falcon 20 Spanish support plane, and a USAFE Eagle from Lakenheath. |
|
The
Florennes platform always is filled up well, because the TLP is very
popular... |
|
|
|
...
as a trainingscourse for many airforces. Like UK (Harrier) and France (Mirage-2000) |
|
|
|
Also
Germany mostly is represented with their different Tornado types |
|
This
is what you can see on the main Florennes Platform after the flights ... |
|
h |
|
...
or during flights Mirage 2000N and the still respected Etendard. |
|
|
|
Brother
to brother French Mirages depart, as well as a Belgian F-16B Mlu |
|
A
view on the secundary platform where Belgian F-16's are lined up for
action. |
|
|
|
After
the flights the planes return to the main platform (French Mirage and
Turkish Phantom) |
|
|
|
Italy
was present with their F-16's and the AMX is also still doing very well |
|
Nice
to see them roll downhill the taxiway to their parking places |
|
|
|
Ofcourse
the Spanish Eurofighter Typhoon was a highlight to see in action |
|
|
|
Over
the year many others participate, as this ALCA from the Czech Republic |
|
A
last view on the line-up, in the late afternoon. Refuelling and locking up
the planes. |
|
|
|
Nice
new features are to be seen when paying attention like this Flight
Recorder Pod... |
|
|
|
...
or this Belgian 'Sniper-pod' which can see at 20 km (!) what brand of shoes you
wear !! |
|
|
|
A
last view on our hosts, our PR-officer and a Florennes collegue... |
|
...
The AWACS from Geilenkirchen runs in for the night... |
|
|
|
...
Spanish and Czech crews don't mind posing for our camera's.... |
|
|
|
...
as the Italians and Turks do. Thank you all, and may we meet in Spain in
future ! |
