You can hardly call the arrival of a Belgian military plane like the C-130 Hercules a stealth approach, but I was VERY pleased I've picked out the right unway for once...

So, my first active military shots...

Sure there is... The military airport Melsbroek is a part of the National airport. They use the same runways, just separate hangars.

Because we don't have any money!  Grin

No, seriously, replacements are ordered, the A400 will take over from the Herc in a while...

Just ask the RAF about fighting two 21st century conflicts using 40+ year old Hercs! Certainly helps speed their retirement! Of course the A400M will replace them...
