Back to the roaring Sixties; Koksijde Airshow 1968

Hi,
Since many years I wanted to bring together as much information as possible on the many Belgian airshows organised in the last 100 years.
This week I started the first of a new series of reports on vintage Belgian airshows with the International Koksijde Airshow 1968 organised on Saturday and Sunday August 10/11, 1968.
It is clear from the provisional list of participants that these old meetings were as exciting as todays events. So sit back, relax and enjoy this nostalgic tour on Belgian Wings by clicking here:




As the published participants list is only provisional I would appreciate if you could sent corrections, additions and eventually pictures. Please contact through brackda@gmail.com

During the F-16 solodisplay routine the aircraft collided with a civilian aircraft, which happened to have entered the airfield zone.
Both aircraft crashed onto the airfield, the F-16 into a parking lot.
The pilot of the F-16 ejected, but was seriously injured.
The occupants of the civilian aircraft also sufferd multiple injuries. Other victims, with one deceased person, were to deplore in cars hit by the crashing F-16 into the parking lot.
Military emergency services were rapildy on the scene and together with the civilian services, called upon, organised the rescue of the victims.
A VMP (Vooruitgeschoven Medische Post – Forward Medical Post) was installed and the ‘GMP’ (Gemeentelijk Rampenplan – Community ‘Disaster’ Plan) was issued.

SBAP site update on 08-05-2011 : Events : Presentation of the demo teams 2011

Text & Pictures : Serge Van Heertum     Drawing : Alexander Vandenbohede  © sbap 2011

A prestigious airbase, sun and blue sky…this was by far the best scenery to keep a press conference about the oncoming Koksijde airshow and to make the official presentation of the demo teams for the 2011 season.
Koksijde airshow is already mentioned on many aeronautical blogs as “the best European airshow of 2011”.  And indeed, to highlight the 65 years of the Belgian Air Force the authorities are busy to prepare a great event. The theme will be of course the history of the Belgian Air Force with the participation of many historical aircraft like Spitfire, Harvard, SV4 and other Hunter.
No less than eight demonstration teams are planned

www.belgian-wings.be News headline : 21/04 - The "Red Devils" aerobatic team reborn for the 2011 display season.



21/04 - The "Red Devils" aerobatic team reborn for the 2011 display season.

The Belgian Air Component is to resurrect the famous "Red Devils" aerobatic team on the nimble Siai Marchetti SF260 for the occasion of it 65th anniversary. The team which was already created since two years as "Hardship Red" will have its name changed to "Red Devils" for the 2011 display season. Already some freshly repainted aircraft have been noticed at Koksijde as well as Beauvechain airbases. Previous teams of the Belgian Air Force having worn the name "Red Devils" were equipped with Hawker Hunter F.6 (1957-1963) and Fouga Magister (1965-1977). Source: Belga
