Event : annual general meeting of the Belgian Air Force Association


Last Friday March 22th, the annual general meeting of the Belgian Air Force Association took place at the Royal Army Museum.

The membership has grown  from less than 100 members to 750 members in a little bit more than one year.
Another amazing result was to see young people interested in the objectives of the association and present at the meeting.

"Wings", the magazine of the BAFA also met with success and 4 issues should be published in 2013.

As the president said "the BAFA is not the exclusive club of old airmen of the Belgian Air Force, but the place to be for anyone supporting the Air Force and interested in het past, present and future".

The membership is 10 Euro / year, please visit http://www.bafassociation.be/index.html to learn more.

On this date in aviation history, March 22, 1919, the world's first regularly scheduled international service began operations that linked two cities, Brussels and Paris, under the banner of the Lignes Aériennes Farman.  Flying a mix of Farman Goliaths with Renault power (the F.61) and Gnôme-Rhone-constructed, Jupiter power (in the F.63bis), the airline took off into history -- or at least a qualified history of sorts.  You see, it takes a little explaining after all to truly recognize just what was achieved....
