It took place last weekend at the local military air base; as an absolute fan of those military aircrafts I couldn't miss that

There were lots of people on sunday, luckily I've been able to spend the whole saturday afternoon there thanks to my first Spotter access ever

A nice way to test the 70-300 @ 300mm ... well it could've been worse, the quality drops but it's still acceptable. Needless to say I could have given a kidney for one of those 400mm+ L lenses

First, the legend : B-17G Flying Fortress ... what a beast ! It's so huge and slow that you wonder how that thing can actually fly :shock:

Dassault Mirage 2000C

Learning his lessons

One of the most beautiful planes in the world, the F16

Two belgian ones were present.

Spanish patrol "Aguila" with spanish-built Casa C101

Turkish patrol "Turkish Stars", using former Dutch AF NF-5 aircrafts because their engines are more powerful than the standard F-5 Tiger.

Dassault Rafale B

Rescue exercise in hostile environment; Aerospatiale Cougar mkII

Oldies

Various airplanes (just look at the name of the picture to see how they're called)
