"ComOpsAir goes MS"

On 26 and 27 September 2013 some forty persons suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS) accompanied by 60 members of the operational command of the Belgian Air Component led by Major-General Claude Van de Voorde himself are going to climb the Mont Ventoux in France. Since many years the Belgian Air Force has been helping the different sections of the "Belgian MS League” by organising specific actions for the benefit of the association. A typical event was the Charity Run organised on June 22nd, 2013 by the Belgian F-16 detachment at Kandahar airbase in Afghanistan, but nearer to home well known examples are the KB Motor run at Kleine Brogel airbase and the Indian Day organised by the 15th Wing at Melsbroek airbase. 

 MS is an inflammatory disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a wide range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems. The sportive action to climb the Mont Ventoux must be seen as an encouragement to fight against these symptoms by "keeping on moving". This is physically beneficial but certainly also improves the mental health of the patients. 

The Belgian Air Component is one of the most dynamic and enthusiast sponsors of the Belgian MS leagues and is particularly appreciated by the organisations.

Belgian-wings.be ; Belgian Air Component NH90 helicopter production started

The first NH90 helicopter destined for the Belgian Air Component has been put into production. Following the April 2007 approval by the Belgian Government's confirmation, the NAHEMO (NATO Helicopter Management Organisation), had signed on behalf of Belgium, a contract with NHI to supply Belgium with a total of ten NH90. These ten NH90 include four aircraft in the TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter) version, four in the NFH (NATO Frigate Helicopter) version - and two options. Picture
