Spotterday Tactical Weapons Meet Florennes

Post by 114PM »

During the Tactical Weapons Meet in Florennes (5-16. June), a spotterday will be organised on 15. June.

http://www.facebook.com/1SqnStingers

The Hellenic Air Force will attend with F-4E PI2000 from Andravida AB.
The plan was to have the RF-4E, but due to the disbandment earlier in May, it changed to the Andravida Phantoms ...

Probably just a case of the mailbox not being set up to accept massive images (I think the three passport scans I attached to my email totalled 15MB!)

If you're on Facebook, you might wish to let them know you've paid (don't post any personal details!) and that you're not able to send the email through yet...

IMPORTANT: We received some payments from several people, but with no mail. We usually answer and confirm the registration the day after reception of the payment. Some very short additional delays might occue due to workload in the Squadron.

Then, as promised, here are the participants who will take part to the exercice:

- 3 Italian Air Force EF-2000
- 3 Spanish Air Force EF-2000
- 3 Greek Air Force F-4 Phantom
- 3 Polish Air Force Mig-29
- 3 Royal Air Force BAe Hawk

We are currently working hard to make this event a very special one :)

Looking forward to meet you the 15th of June!

Has the first!!!

What is it like to photograph here from off base? I would like to get some pictures of the exercise aircraft while I'm in the area on Friday June 10.

Thank you for your help.

TACTICAL WEAPON MEET – UPDATE 4 – PLEASE SHARE!

Dear Followers,

We are in the last sprint to the 15th of June and our Spotters Day. A whole lotta info will be sent by mail to the people who are registered, and via our Facebook page later this week.

But there is one info we want to share: LAST CALL!

The registration is closed the 1st of June! At that date, all registrations must be done. That mean that we must be in possession of a copy of your ID card, and payment must be done.

We are looking forward to meet you in Florennes in the upcoming weeks!
