60 years 15th wing at Melsbroek

[Omag 2.0]

Today was a special day for the 15th Wing of the Belgian airforce (transportation & relay wing), as they celebrate their 60 th birthday...

Time to put the trusty workhorse, called Hercules C-130 in the spotlight...

Just to be sure the public knew what the fuss was about!




Para-drop...




Para dropping...




Stormlanding, sadly the steep dive was performed out of reach of my lens...




Look ma, with only 3 engines running...




The Dutchies sympathised...

Melsbroek is a part of Zaventem (EBBR), Brussels airport. Funny feeling to see an airevent at an active airport....
