SOME DETAILS IN BETWEEN... |
|
Spotters
dream, many activities, sunshine in the back, keep them camera's rolling ! |
|
W |
|
While
the one pilot is about to fly his mission, the other is selling badges and
tiger items. |
|
They
try to earn a little budget for the party on a (every ?) night of fun and
feast ! |
|
And
the spotters ? They buy their souvenirs for their personal 'museum' at
home or on their jacket. |
|
|
|
A
man in the evening... also a man days over. These guys know their
limits and responsabilities ! |
|
They're
always willing to pose for press, and show their connectedness and
friendship. |
|
Mechanics,
commando's, they all have 'tigerfeet' these days, as the F-16 has ! |
|
The
crews all have their own containers in 'Tiger Village', for every
nationality one. |
|
The
deployable setup looks like the concept at Kandahar (see our Afghanistan
special main page) |
|
Stories
every day, 'Tiger-veterans' love to share their stories and experiences
with others |
|
Between
nice stands and a fake pilot, we find Professor Doctor General Lord F.U.N.
Spotter !... |
|
This
'General Master Lieutenant Doctor from Russia' already bought his badges
before so to see... |

HELICOPTERS
|
|
The
A-109 in action, the medium-light multi purpose helicopter used by the
Belgians... |
|
...
we saw it on the Bierset Helidays so often, but not anylonger since the
reorganisation... |
|
...
Belgium has also combined it's helicopter forces like the Dutch did in DHC
(see DHC special) |
|
|
|
...
NAO tigermeet was not limited by fighters only. Helicopters of different
countries... |
|
...
joined in the CSAR part and performed their operation on the spottersday,
simulating... |
|
...
that Kee Bee lies behind enemy lines. This generated spectacular views for
the spectators ! |
|
The
Italians showed sskill with a commando team in their HUEY... |
|
...
they are also experienced by foreign actions at Malta (see our Malta
story, 'Piloot en Vliegtuig' ) |
|
And
off they go, in this more than characteristic 'Billy Joel' wok-wok-wok
sound. |
|
Another
giant participating was the UK Merlin... |
|
...
department store with roof-drive ! |
|
Our
very special thanks to the C.O. by that time who made these impressions
possible !! |
