Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Great day, great visit. Both NH-90s (RN-05 & RN-06) were hangered due to technical checks. Funny to see the interior of the hanger (floor, cranes, etc.) completely refurbished to new for the NH-90s but the building shell itself wasn't (old hanger doors, windows, offices etc.).

The AT29 was ready to leave for a paint job at Florennes but cancelled its flight.

The two other Alpha Jets AT06 and AT20 were used for a promotion flight of Koen Wauters (famous Belgian Artist/Singer). See facebook Beauvechain Airbase Fan page.

Here are my pics of that day : http://www.airfighters.com/photosearch. ... rent&lim=3

Many thanks to the Belgian AF 1st Wing and GRAS for arranging this great opportunity. :worship:
