Next
year TLP will move to Spain - so still enjoy these images from Belgium !
Huge
platforms with many many participants for the courses and the varity of the many different types of planes is always a treat
for the photographer and the readers of the magazines.
Do
enjoy 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 the Florennes Base Commander...
...
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 !
Special
thanks to the Belgian Airforce for your hospitality !
