Yes, Thanks Kenneth for info and pics. The low pass with the sailboats in the background looks impressive! 😎

On the site, it is reported that the connie should have left Paris by now and is on its way to Bale-Mulhouse. Almost at home!
If this is the case is there any risk to other B-17s flying at the moment i wonder or was it just a bad luck thing.
Let us hope that is was only bad luck. Otherwise it could be that the fleet of B-17 will be grounded again for inspections. And didn’t that happen some time ago for other reasons? Deja-Vu …

iron eagle 1, 2 & 3… :confused:
3 loads full of horse crap… 😀

I only saw Iron Eagle 2 and then I got sick. So its a total waste of time and money. Bad story and bad actors. 😮

Pity we cannot see the expression on the face of the TFC engineer standing next to the extinguisher – deep concentration/consternation I expect.
Did his hair caught on fire on the next photo? 😀

It seems that the team is making some nice progress.
Thanks for sharing tenthije.

Ja, azwo an beetje van bachtn de kuipe nje? But that Is what I like about my west-flemish dialect. I am going to work in the north of the netherlands for one month in November (near to Amsterdam). I just might test how much the people over there will understand of what I am saying. That may be a nice experience/experiment.

I understand what Filip Kauwlier sings, but I doubt that any Dutch people will understand his ‘Dutch’ lyrics. I want you to recognize te flemish variants on the Dutch language as a nice dialect. Why are all the belgium programs in Holland/the Netherlands,… (somtimes even in Belgium) with subtitles. Because we all speek the same language, but we dont understand eachother? 😉
The fact that we are speaking the same language with so many differences makes it amusing for me. Lets keep it that way please.
Thanks,
J.V.
Ah der Nederlands.. the the worst Low country I’ve ever been to..
I never seen such a unisex country in my life!!
Aw! That must hurt for tenthije!
Maybe that was the reason why we wanted to be independant from them? 😀
Sorry Roger S., But the link to the vormezeele collection is currently not working. As for the other thing you asked on the connie tread; the Buchon is based at militairy airfield of Braschaat in Belgium.
Some other planes of this collection ar NA T6 Harvard, MS505 (french storch), DH82, Stampe SV4, nord (french made)Me108 and a T28 trojan.
Vormezeele had a Skyraider, but sold this plane last year to the USA.
So, I hope this is a good answer for you?
Greets,
J.V.
Everything you want to know about vormezeeles buchon can be found at this tread that I started some time ago:

That is great news of that stieglitz of your club. 😎 Hasn’t that been in Flypast magazine some time ago, or was that a other Stieglitz in Spain? It is a nice machine indeed. Maybe you can vote for it on this poll:

Let us hope that we all can see this nice buchon.
Cheers,

I know that there could be much more then the buchon and other planes at the event. There are more possible visitors then those mentioned on the site.
I may not tell more before we have more things confermed here.
About the Buchon, this plane is confermed for the event and has already flown this year. I hope the owner can make it to the event. He is also flying his Fiat G46 to wings and wheels.
One note:
On the site it is stated that WAW is only a static event, but that is not completely correct. All the planes do have to fly inn on Saturday and some planes will do a short trip to sanicole on Sunday. For example: The Dutch B25 is going to attend Sanicole on Sunday so it will depart to give its display and then it will return to Ursel. So there should be some movement in the air.
This year, the amount of aircrafts that will attend will be the biggest ever!
See the tread I started on the subject:

I am very pleased to see at least one of you guys is coming over! 🙂
Thanks Roger S.
J.V.
Thanks again Ren Frew. She looks lovely!
It would be nice if you could post some Roger S.
I am not going to ILA in Berlin but I hope to see her at La Ferte on may 29. That is still 26 days to go then. :p
J.V.
Sad for the guys in Iceland who wanted to see her. They will have to make a trip to the UK if they want to see her.
Thanks Buddy Boy for those pics. Is someone else going to have a look at le Bourget or Basle-Mulhouse-Freiburg. If the answer is yes, could this person be so kind to post pics of the arrival. I am interested the most in the arrival at Basle-Mulhouse-Freiburg.
That would be nice!
Thanks,
J.V.
Stunning photos peter. Nice views of the engine and instruments. Very interesting!
I think the volunteers are doing the best they can. For now, that is more than enough.
Thanks for sharing.
