Kleine Brogel (catch up from the last couple of weeks)

[FalconFlare]

Well, I'm finally be able to post some pictures again. After more than a month without a laptop due to various ongoing problems and eventually having to purchase a new one, I slowly found the time to process my pictures from Kleine Brogel that I took over the last couple of weeks.

Here are the pictures from various visits to my local airbase.

During the mid till the end of October an exercise was held at Kleine Brogel with participating aircraft from The Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic and Italy.
On the 17th of October I went to Kleine Brogel to catch these aircraft.
Due to the forest fires in Portugal and the storm that blew the Sahara sand all the way over to Belgium the light on this day was very interesting to say the least

On the 26th of October I was invited on-base for Gizmo's last display as F-16 display pilot for the Belgian Air Force. Sadly the weather really didn't co-operate

On the 14th of November, 10 F-16's from Spangdahlem diverted to Kleine Brogel in the morning due to bad weather at their homebase.
I went to Kleine Brogel in the afternoon in the hope to catch them when they departed back to Spang. Sadly they took off in the worst weather their was that afternoon...

My apologies for the amount of pictures.
I hope that the colours (except from pictures 1-13 as the light that day was very strange/unique) and the contrast on the photo's is correct? If not, please let me know so I can adjust the screen

Chuffing heck!

Only just seen these - definitely worth a comment

You get a lot of waves from the crew - they must be expecting you.
