Il y a quelques semaines, le Spitfire du musée de Florennes s'est retrouvé pendant plusieurs jours emmitouflé sous les couvertures. Non pas pour le préserver du froid mais bien pour le protéger d'une forêt d'échafaudages dressés pour installer un nouvel éclairage LED au plafond de la salle. lire la suite

Thx Luc for sharing
03/12
Malle (2390) De burgerluchtvaart mag het NAVO-reservevliegveld in Malle-Zoersel hoegenaamd niet gebruiken als uitvalsbasis voor het uitvoeren van trainingsvluchten. Dat heeft Vlaams minister van Financiën, Begroting, Werk, Ruimtelijke Ordening en Sport Philippe Muyters (N-VA) beslist. Meer nog, het gebied krijgt de bestemming van natuurgebied en sportterrein.

The first NH90 TTH helicopter to be delivered to the Belgian Air Force on December 21st, 2012


The first NHIndsutries NH90 TTH transport helicopter wearing the temporarily registration F-ZWBE, will be delivered to the Belgian Air Force on Friday December 21st, 2012 during a ceremony organised at NHIndusties plant at Marignane (France). Ten NH90 helicopters including four aircraft in the TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter) version, four in the NFH (NATO Frigate Helicopter) version - and two options were ordered by the Belgian Government on June 18th, 2007. Delivery of these helicopters has been considerably delayed and Koksijde airbase, which will use the NFH variant, is eagerly expecting delivery of the first machines so that the largely overdue replacement of the ageing Westland Seaking rescue helicopters can start.

Best regards,

Daniel BRACKX
