At times like this I simply can't restrain the artist within, and the sea of emotion brought to high tide by the heartless shackling of so many classic jets, especially the HUNTER! How can anyone bear it!!!!

There's a joke about Hunters and Avons in there somewhere
Re: Belgian Air Force Days 2018 - 8th/9th Sept
Osprey added, unsure if its flying or static
Re: Belgian Air Force Days 2018 - 8th/9th Sept
Static on website.
Re: Belgian Air Force Days 2018 - 8th/9th Sept
USAF Osprey, static indeed.
Re: Belgian Air Force Days 2018 - 8th/9th Sept
Reported elsewhere that the Ukrainian Su-27s arrived today. Anyone able to confirm?
EDIT: Seems they didn't.

I'm afraid arrival information will not be released for safety and security reasons.
Re: Belgian Air Force Days 2018 - 8th/9th Sept

We will have to wait and see.
Just hope the good stuff comes in on friday

Security problem.
Local newspaper puts on front page that the F35 will be landing at KB this afternoon.
Too bad for all spotters tomorrow....
(Landing is around 16h local according to the newspaper; but they mixed up timings before. So no guarentee on that)

Hopefully some display practices tomorrow.
I know they’re advertising the gates open at 9 but what time is everyone getting there?

Well all being well, I shall fly out to Brussels tomorrow morning. I expect to get to Eperheide center parcs about early afternoon. As for the weekend I'm going to try and get to Kleine Brogel each day for nine.

How much of a struggle is it to make decent static shots at KB? Looks really crowded on most photo’s I see
Re: Belgian Air Force Days 2018 - 8th/9th Sept
The issue you have is the static is between you and the flying, the flying also starts an hour after gates open. So, you’ll find people setting up camp that just so happen to be at the best angle!
As long as you think about your shots you shouldn’t have a problem with the aircraft spacing.

We've just dropped Gav off with three chairs and a poncho on the way past .
Re: Belgian Air Force Days 2018 - 8th/9th Sept
Any idea what's on early? We may miss the start of the flying due to the long bag checks.
