Kleine-Brogel Air Base / Belgian Air Force Days September 12-14

Shame it is forbidden in the Netherlands. Think they sometimes do it over the North Sea.

 

It's forbidden here too, but it still happens, people around here are used to un-expected loud noises, we have live fire artillery/tank ranges and a bomb/ground attack range too at about from 4km from here and another two at 8km and 12km.

The Vulcan cannon on the F16 makes a nice noise, but it is a bit over shadowed when the A10s come to play :)

 

Edit: Looking through my pics, it was the Solo Turk that did the high speed pass :)

On Saturday the French Rafale came close to the speed of sound, with nice condensation cones over the cockpit and wings:

 

 

The show lasted until 7 PM, with the Red Arrows being the closing act.

The sun was already quite low, resulting in this pic during their final pass before landing:

 

 

All in all it was a nice show, too bad many of the star items were canceled.

Hi,

some pics from sunday. The poor weather in the morning was quickly forgotten with the special light conditions in the evening.

Nice ones bengo!

 

The light at Kleine Brogel can be a challenge, but you can also play with it and get some nice results :)
