Un petit avion d'entraînement à réaction L-39 Albatros de la patrouille acrobatique Breitling Jet s'est écrasé samedi vers 19h30 au nord de Lommel (province du Limbourg), à cheval sur la frontière néerlandaise, et les deux occupants ont pu faire usage de leur siège éjectable, a-t-on appris auprès des organisateurs du meetind aérien de l'aéro-club Sanicole.

In reality the aircraft crashed just south of Valkenswaard, which is in the Netherlands (so NOT in Lommel !) (thx to Laurent)

Wings Parade at Beauvechain airbase on September 13th, 2012

 At Beauvechain the annual "Wings Parade" was organised on Thursday September 13th, 2012 by CC Air (Air Competence Centre) and at the same time some recently graduated aerospace specialists were presented.
 Ten new Belgian pilots and the first Luxemburg pilot received their "Wings" from Major-General Claude Van de Voorde, Commander of the Air Component in presence of the Commander of Belgian Defence General Gerard Van Caelenberge.





 The 2012 promotion took pilot Major Charley de Hepcée as godfather and his daughters were present to congratulate the new Belgian Air Force aviators.
