Sometimes you get lucky … I got a VIP card to visit the Koksijde 07 Airshow (Defence Days), except that this was considered to be work ! Well, it kind of was … at least when work is taking pictures and tasting a French bubbled wine. There was no flying for me that day, although I felt very light at the end of that working day …
So, the day started with one of my favourite aircraft: the PBY Catalina.
The Eurofighter Typhoon in search of better salesfigures…
British oldie: the Jet Provost.
and another one … the Vampire
Even older: two props, tailwheel and very Dakota: the DC3 !
Static of five F16s: thanks to my colleague for this and some consecutive pics.
Homerun for this one: the Seaking
The the Belgian Armed Forces Land Component wanted to show off as well: paras escaping from a C130
Simulated attack from the overhead F16s
While the Agusta A109 keeps watch…
C130 back to Melsbroek …
The Dutch showing off their new paintscheme on the F16
A Belgian F16 with the venerable training jet Fouga Magister announcing the end of the spectacle
And the three operative Seakings taking off to the east …
