a couple from various visits to Kleine Brogel

Post by FalconFlare » Tue Feb 13, 2018 7:31 pm

Last Thursday I spent a whole day at Kleine Brogel. You can really notice that currently all pilots are back at their homebase because flying activity was really good and on top of that we had some visiting planes that kept us busy:

On the 12th I made a quick hit and run in the late afternoon in the hope to catch some planes during the sunset, sadly only 1 F-16 was still airborne when I arrived and the sun decided to hide behind some clouds just as the F-16 was on final:

And today, the 13th, I made another hit and run, once again 1 F-16 was still airborne when I arrived in the late afternoon, but this time I had more luck as the pilot was performing a couple approaches:

Very nice selection. Shots 9 & 19 are my pick, but KB with a blue sky makes every shot a winner! :thumb:

Nice to see the vipers in action

In my view the best replacement for the Belgium F-16s are brand new block 60 vipers!

Hi Tim
I seemed to have missed these.
Stunning shots, as always, with great angles and post processing.
All the best
