I assume you mean their facebook page?

Great to read about the spotterday. 1st SQN "Stingers" also celebrate their centennial this year! Maybe some extra visitors? But don't start wishful thinking. Still 6 months to go.

Spotter's day Florennes 15 June 2017

Post by Fox350 »

Hi,

A spotter's day will be organized at Florennes the 15 june 2017.

Infos that I have :

This event is in relation with the first squadron anniversary (100 years).
Several nations will be present with aircraft (TBC which aircraft).
The theme will be Tactical Weapons Meet in parallel with the anniversary.
Spotter's day will be organized during a "normal flying day" at Florennes.

As soon as I have additional information, I will keep you informed.

Dear Reinier,

Alas we no longer live in the glory days of the 1980s.

A great pity.

This is the plan, but don't forget, this are old boys ;)
Until you see them land in Florennes, nothing is sure.

If the silhouettes on the patch of the exercise are right, than you can expect: F-16, F-4, MiG-29, Hawk T1 and Eurofighter.

Time will tell!
