If I remember correctly, these were taken during the 2004 spotters day at KB? The weather was bad, but not typically for the time of the year!  Wink

The line up for the 2005 spottersday at KB looks very very good. It's two days after the RIAT, so it will be busy for me.  Wink

This year it's the final year for the Mirage IV.  Sad

The official site for the upcoming spottersday is www.baha.be ; You can find the latest news about the participants there. Wink

I'm not aware of any airshow at Beauvechain. Where did you get that?
At Koksijde there's a show in September and in August we have our national pride, the Sanicole Airshow!  8)

How are you going to the Air Tattoo by the way?

I think I will be going both 16 and 17 July. When I make the trip over from Belgium better make it worth th buck Wink

For going there... Im still deciding between easyjet and the eurostar. How about you Mr. Bones? You know what would be really neat... a charter flight that flies straight to RAF Fairford! Grin

By the way just checked out baha.... Cant wait to see the super etendards and th KC-135s and Hawks. Now keep those fingers crossed that that MIG-29s, A7A, AV-8, Sea Harriers but most importantly EF/A-18s are coming to EBBL!!! Last year wasnt there an F-15 on the programme which was cancelled last minute?

For the third time in a row I'm going to the Air Tatto with Holland Aviation Travel (www.hatreizen.nl). Last year I went with a charter from Schiphol. It was pretty expensive and after all, not really worth it. We had some delay so we missed the opening of the show. In the evening, we had to check in so early, we missed lots of good stuff at the end of the show.
This year I'm going by bus. Sunday for the show, monday the infamous departure day! We stay in a hotel in the neighbourhood. Much cheaper plus you get to see the departure day!  Wink

At Sanicole, there wasn't an F-15 planned, but an A-10 which flew it's demo. This year, they again expect that East Coast A-10 demo.  8)
