Old Crow @ NW, Friday 10/6/05

He had no greens on both maingears. I think he got safely of the runway at Antwerp as the VLM F50 landed 5 mins later

… and landed in emergency with a broken push-rod (left side). 🙁

Can you be more specific? I guess there is more than one push-rod on the left side of a Mustang…

I hope everything went well.

–

Landed at Antwerp or at Brasschaat.

No damage I hope?

Whoah, N167F just came roaring over my house.

What a sound!!

ps: It will stay at Antwerp during winter and next season

… and landed in emergency with a broken push-rod (left side). 🙁

I don’t think so. The Buchon has only flown twice (pilot Eric Vormezeele), they are having much difficulties with the airplane.

Any chance to see Frédérique Voormezeel flying the family’s Buchon OO-MAF in a reasonnable future?

Last Aeroplane reported this Mustang would become OO- registered.

Just to tell you this is not true. (Very sorry of course)
It will remain N167F

She Doesn’t Look Like An Old Crow To Me!

Well, I guess I better post these.

Taken at this years Legends. 🙂

Took this one with said geri halliwell in the rear 😀

A gorgeous airplane that has been with the Scandinavian Historic Flight for decades and usually flown immaculately by Anders Saether. Presumably the Vormezeele family have been leasing it from the SHF and baseing it in Belgium temporarily.
Bud Anderson must be pleased that a Mustang bearing the markings his aircraft wore in the latter stages of WW2 while flying from Leiston is still making that inimitable whistle as it displays at European venues.

Here’s the pic

Which one is old crow? 😉

(ooooh)

standards my friends, standards….

Old Crow is based at Antwerp Airport when it’s flown by Frederique Vormezeele. Saw it there in the hangar saturday, yesterday it flew over my house, don’t know where it went to.

During the winter it will probably go back to the owner in Scandinavia.

Will send picture later

Maybe he’s building himself one (Spitfire) !

I know Eric for many years now. I’m proud to say that he is one of my friends. Yes he looks very young but I can tell you that ‘Old Crow’ is in very good and safe hands with him.

Eric, has several thousand of hours of experience, he is captain 767, 737; he flew A320, A330, T-6, Stearman, A-26, Skyraider, Stampe, Moth, Chipmunk, T-28, and many other types.

But over all other considerations, I flew with him and he his ones of those very few pilots that has this amazing feeling and skill who makes the all difference.

He is not THE pilot of “Old Crow” just by luck !
When you own such a plane, you do not chooze the first “junkey” to fly it.

Yves:
An humble pilot of B-25J “Russell’s Raiders”

His name is not Eric but Frédéric…
Eric is Frédérics father, Eric flies also Skyraider, BF-109 (!), T-6, Fiat G.46, Storch, …

The warbird spirit is in the family !!

looks like Geri Halliwell…
We were more interested in studying the frontal airfoils though 😀
Moggy, ban me for a while or my girl is gonna make me regret this 😉

Alex

Yes i am doing some extensive research into warbird passenger arrangements and purely for the purposes of that reaearch would like to see some walk around and profile shots of the passenger please and preferably some specs as well please

This is the best I could get. :diablo:
Brian

I surrender !!! 😉

“That’s why I wrote it.”

But then, he has never flown the Spitfire (any Spitfire), so can he be regarded a real warbird pilot by this Forum’s standards?

I surrender !!! 😉
