L'histoire authentique des lignes méconnues de l'Aéropostale par Bruno Rivière

publié le 29 juin 2012
Les grands débuts de l'aviation commerciale à travers le monde ne finissent pas de révéler leurs intrigues. Avec « La Compagnie Générale Aéropostale, les autres lignes » (éditions Privat) voici qu'on découvre les aventures parfois peu banales de ces fameuses « autres lignes » qu'étaient Latécoère, l'Aéropostale, la Compagnie transafricaine d'aviation, Aeroposta Argentina, etc. Une fameuse leçon d'histoire.

Antwerp under V1 and V2 attacks

Antwerp and her citizens were the victims of the massive attack by V2 rockets at the end of the war. Except at the Stampe Museum in Antwerp there is no place where the courage of the city and her inhabitants is remembered. Thanks to the net, the story can be told.

Photo & Video material needed of former Arlon Victory Memorial Museum Dakota F-BAIF.

WANTED: PHOTOS AND VIDEO MATERIAL

Van Osch Film Produkties is busy gathering material to make a documentary about the Dakota airplane that belongs to the Wings of Liberation Museum in Best, The Netherlands. This plane got severely damaged during transportation to the Soldier of Orange musical. 
In the documentary this airplane will be telling her own life story. For this documentary we are looking for photos and video material (we would also like to receive home videos!) from the period 1987 to 2002 in which this airplane (registration F-BAIF) was placed on a pole outside the Victory Memorial Museum in Arlon, Belgium. 
Besides this we are trying to get in touch with (former) employees of the Victory Memorial Museum for the period that the airplane was at that museum. We would also like to receive other photos or (home)videos from other periods, for example from the period when the plane was located at the Wings of Liberation museum in Best, The Netherlands. In the event that you can help us, please contact Van Osch Film Produkties, c/p Suzanne van Leendert, telephone 00 31 (0)73 6414181 or suzanne@vofprodukties.tv

SIMBA gaat de ruimte in

Ths Dirk,

Forwarded message From: Dirk De Quick 



SIMBA gaat de ruimte in

QB50Op 20 juni 2012 kreeg het team Operationele Directie 'Waarnemingen' van Dr. Steven Dewitte van het Koninklijk Meteorologisch Instituut van België (KMI) het bericht dat het project 'SIMBA' geselecteerd werd om deel uit te maken van het CubeSat project QB50. Het QB50-project, dat geleid wordt door het Von Karman Instituur in België, bestaat uit vijftig kleine CubeSat satellietjes die voornamelijk atmosferisch onderzoek gaan uitvoeren op een hoogte van ongeveer 320 kilometer. Deze kleine kunstmaantjes zullen eind 2014 in de ruimte gebracht worden vanuit een onderzeeër in de Barentszee in de buurt van Murmansk. SIMBA staat voor 'Sun-earth IMBAlance' en is een hoogtechnologische radiometer die zowel zal meten hoe de Zon de Aarde opwarmt alsook hoe de Aarde afkoelt door het uitzenden van infrarode straling. Door dit te onderzoeken, kunnen wetenschappers meten hoeveel netto-energie er van de Zon op onze planeet achterblijft en welk effect dit heeft op het klimaat en de mens. Het SIMBA-instrument werd ontwikkeld door het KMI in samenwerking met de Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België, het Franse onderzoek laboratorium LATMOS, de Vrije Universiteit van Brussel en de Universiteit van Luik, in het kader van het Solar Terrestrial Center of Excellence. Het uiteindelijke vluchtmodel zal gebouwd worden door het ervaren KMI-radiometer team dat ondermeer ook de Sova-Picard radiometer ontwikkelde. SIMBA zal meevliegen tijdens een voorbereidende vlucht op een hoogte van 500 kilometer. Voor de financiering van het SIMBA-project zal een voorstel ingediend worden in het Prodex-programma van het Federale Wetenschapsbeleid.

Royal Army Museum : modern airmen equipment

3 new dummies are installed near the F-16 and the mirage F1.
Thanks to the generosity of some donators, the public can now see a Belgian pilot and a female mechanic wearing the equipment used on external operations. Near the F1, this is a French pilot wearing a desert flightsuit which is installed.

Nouveauté Avions et Pilotes : le F104-Starfighter


Forwarded message From: Histoire et Collections


Collection Avions & Pilotes
F-104 - STARFIGHTER


Créé à la demande de l'USAF, le F-104 Starfighter connut une carrière assez brève dans son pays d'origine et le nombre d'unités qui en furent dotées peu élevé. Mais l'avionneur Lockheed croyait en son avion et le proposa rapidement à l'exportation dans le cadre de ce que l'on appela à l'époque le « Marché du siècle ». Le succès fut au rendez vous puisque plus de 80 % des Starfighter produits, y compris sous licence en Europe, au Japon et au Canada, furent utilisés par une douzaine de pays.

Ailes militaires belges : Centre de perfectionnement -1964




La collaboration entre forces aériennes dans différents domaines, et notamment la formation des pilotes, n'est pas une nouveauté. Bien avant la création de l'AJeTS de Cazaux, la Force Aérienne s'était déjà lancée dans cette voie.
Dans les années soixante, le Centre de perfectionnement de Brustem accueillit élèves-pilotes belges et néerlandais. Cette collaboration dura près d'une décennie, jusqu'à ce que la FAé et la KLu se choisissent chacun un successeur différent au F-84F. full article on les ailes militaires belges
