Stukje uit de hele tekst


Morgenochtend om 9.15 uur begint dan het echte programma. Obama trekt dan opnieuw naar Zaventem vanwaar het met de helikopter Marine One richting vliegveld van Wevelgem gaat. Aankomst: 10.10 uur. De presidentiële colonne rijdt meteen via de E17 door naar Waregem. Om 10.30 uur bezoekt Obama er het Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial, de Amerikaanse militaire begraafplaats uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Hij doet dat in het bijzijn van koning Filip, premier Elio Di Rupo en burgemeester Kurt Vanryckeghem. Formeel gezien ontvangt Obama er zijn Belgische gasten, aangezien het kerkhof Amerikaans grondgebied is. Er liggen in totaal 368 Amerikaanse soldaten begraven. .

No idea,

Depends on security and some luck, you'll have to try out the whole area.
You can take pictures apparantly from the road-side at Abelag, but you cannot stand on the concrete blocks marking the parking, neither can you use a ladder or any other kind of step.

Thanks for the info guys.
So ETD is 1845LT as mentioned on the internet a few times.
What runway will probably used? 07L seems logic heading into N-wind.

SBS shows RCH486 as 05-5151 (not 05-5141), please confirm what was read off in Russel.

Hi Rene,

Apparantly today as there where 2 more C-17's.
That makes a total of 6 visited since yesterday evening late.

I guess all of it will be as good as gone now...
