[Zoute AirTrophy] : Big news for the Zoute AirTrophy (new name to start with!)

Forwarded message - From: Zoute AirTrophy <info@zouteairtrophy.com>




The Zoute AirTrophy

 

We're very please to be able to send you a short update email about our beach landing event this 14-17 June at Knokke-Heist.

Rediscovering the Zoute heritage of flying, connecting with the Zoute Aerodrome and the Royal Zoute Aviation Club, we've settled on a new name:  The Zoute AirTrophy.

Our logo is fantastic, the new website is now online:
www.zouteairtrophy.com and is being updated weekly with new information.  We'll shortly have our team page ready, at which stage you'll be able to see who is participating in the various categories (and the sponsors of prizes such as Gaugin, Flying Group and BAFA).

In the meantime, there is also a Facebook page for those taking part in the event.

As well as pilots, we're looking for people interested in taking a stand:
  • Indoor Expo (join BAFA, IVAO, Rate One etc.)
  • Outdoor Expo (Dynali, Sonaca etc.)
  • Aviation Art Fair (an increasing number of painters and photographers)
There is one small change which is perhaps important - due to the numbers of requests, we're going to have to restrict the number of aircraft parking overnight (the short term parking for a few hours remains unchanged).  Thus we'll be allocating overnight slots based on priority for early registrations.  With luck, we'll not have to turn anyone away, but we simply don't have space should everyone ask to park overnight!

Thank you for your time, and hope to see you on the beach in June if not before!

C119 Project

Brussels Air Museum - AELR a partagé sa publication.
Publié par Yves Duwelz8 mars, 19:00
De Koning Boudewijnstichting is begonnen met de verzending van fiscale attesten aan onze edelmoedige schenkers die het project C-119 in 2017 hebben gesteund. Het doel van 23.000 euro is nog lang niet bereikt. U kunt nog aan het project deelnemen door het financieel te steunen (uw attest zal in 2019 verstuurd worden). Bijgevoegd vindt u meer details. https://www.aelr.be/?p=item&id=11&lg=nl

The Koning Boudewijnstichting / Fondation Roi Baudouin started to deliver the gift certificates to our generous donators who already supported the C-119 project in 2017. The target of collecting 23.000 is far away to be reached, so you can still give right now (you will receive your certificate in 2019). Please find the details athttps://www.aelr.be/upload/pdf/pdf_11_fr.pdf

[AirTrophy] Looking for Aviation Painters, Photographers, Sculptors and Authors...

Forwarded message - From: AirTrophy



Aviation Art Fair at Knokke-Heist


We have discovered that there is no global Aviation Art Fair - and this seems a great shame.  As a result, we'll be holding just such an event at the same time as the AirTrophy, at Knokke-Heist in Belgium - already world-renowned by artists and collectors alike.

We expect the event to reach in excess of 100K visitors, of which perhaps 10-15% will visit the Aviation Art Fair.

So, if you'd like to show (and perhaps sell) some of your work:

Paintings
Photographs
Sculptures
Books

Then let us know.  Equally, if you know someone who might be interested, then please pass this on.  The cost of taking part this first year is extremely low (and no commission) - a real opportunity to have works seen (and bought) in the 'right place'.

Dogfight update

Forwarded message - From: <andre.richir@skynet.be>



Who am I ?
A free electron …


I have always been, and remain a "free electron".
(Backup)
It is this freedom of thought that guides me in my website "DOGFIGHT".
The search for truth is priceless…


John Boyd the father of the Energy-Maneuverability Theory, Robin Olds the best wing commander of the Vietnam War, were a glaring example of having said the truth out too loudly, they were sacked …

I may be wrong, my truth may not be the truth … but at least it is a " free" opinion…

The replacement of the F-16 by a " craft " that features the latest advanced technology, puzzles me, while other solutions adapted to the feasible reality are not considered …


±   30 multipurpose" aircraft ± 100 millions $ each, with proportional implementation costs
or
± 100 close air support aircraft ±   20 millions $ each, with proportional implementation costs

My personal opinion is that you make your decision "choice" according to the needs.
As a military man your decision-making process is based on the threat.
As a political decision maker the fundamentals are politic (NATO) and economic (budget).

[Event] May 9 to 12 : The Dunkirk2Dover - a new video!

Forwarded message - From: Sam Rutherford



VintageAirRally Dunkirk2Dover

 


 
 We have a new video for the event: http://www.vintageairrally.com/rallies/upcoming/dunkirk2dover
 
Taking place 9-12 May, we will Rally from France to the UK.

We're racing vintage cars against planes, doing a flyby of the ferry carrying the cars across the channel (whilst they watch and enjoy a glass of Champagne!), using an airfield closed since 1919, having one of the UK's most famous castles welcome our arrival with cannonfire...and that's just part of it.

At Dunkirk, each crew have their own luxury tent, and will park their plane or helicopter in front of their door.  A long line of beautiful vehicles (air and land) in a unique, historical setting.

Helicopters are also welcome.

Two last items included at no extra cost:

Entry to the Beach STOL Competition at Knokke-Heist in June.
Entry to London Elite on the 12th May, one of the UK's most exclusive luxury brand and lifestyle events.

Contact me if you'd like to know more - but don't wait too long, we have to close registrations very soon so we can start building the tented camp!

Grit and Glory!

Sam.
