Wings & Wheels - Static shots
Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2008 1:44 pmAlways nice to get so close to all those magnificent machines, but why did they ever invent those fences and why do they put everything so close to each other... oh, and for Hagar... the invasion of the safetyvests has begun here too... bright yellow this year, instead of milder orange...
Belgian Airforce prop-trainer... SIAI Marchetti SF-260...
The most impressive plane I saw there... I wasn't prepared for it's huge size!
Charlie's collegues were present too, 2 Tuscano's and one Hawk (tucked away in an impossible corner)
Second plane that blew me away. I knew it was big, but what a beast! Most wonderful thing happened here. An older woman neared the plane with her husband in a wheelchair. The poor guy was looking weak and miserable, until he saw this B-17. Life popped up in his eyes and a huge smile appeared on his face... magical moment.
I wanted to see a P-51 some time ago, but this one pops up at almost every show in Belgium lately... and I love it! ;D
Cheers,
Omag
